He wasn't on the backfoot all 12 and it is quite entertaining to see a guy lure an opponent in and gradually turn aggressor and do exactly what he wants, when he wants. He gets compared to Hopkins but Bernard had a huge transition from early attacker to sharpshooter and yes at times, to a boring arrogant guy insisting on painting with water colors when we wanted industrial sprayers. But hey, its worked for him now, preserved the goods to have him on the cusp of history. They cant all be free swinging full throttle offense machines. Ring generalship is a great thing to watch, I believe Ward has a good bit of that. I couldn't stand the guy before the tourney, but I'm a fan. Dude is wise beyond his years and a tricky shifty boxer. He has a ways to go and time will tell but skill speaks for itself.
Maybe will Ward will pick up more fans like you, and become wildly popular, if he does, more power to him. I know one thing, american boxing fans could use a few more guys to cheer for.
Maybe so. But its not so much him that I'm a fan of at all. Just like to watch the craft of it once in awhile. I don't see him becoming widley popular. When we have even Pac getting booed in our sport that says something, unfortunate.
