Abraham - Ward Fight Thread

[Gandalf]

It would be interesting to see what might happen if AA could land a few power shots, his best punch so far has been his jab.

He is just so inconsistent. That jab vanished for several rounds and he just covered up. The man is a frustrating fighter to watch. The blueprint has been laid out and Ward is just following the method.

AA was looking pretty good, now he's looking like he did in the Froch fight. When he does throw the punches are wild and wide.

Yeah, really amateurish, it doesn't help that Ward is slick and hard to hit..

This fight has gone just about the way everyone thought it would.

I picked Arthur to win this entire Tourney, man! Wards almost toying with him now

Amat and I both picked Ward winning the final against Froch before a punch was thrown in the tourny.

I should gamble..

[No Contest]

I really dont understand why Ward would switch stance at this point...is he bored or what because he was dominating in orthodox stance.

[MMASUX]

AA is looking completely gassed. I don't think Ward has the power to KO him, but it might be stopped the way AA is looking.

[El Kabong]

Dang, all I wanted is for the Super 6 to be competitive and AA has just closed up shop....damn shame.

I guess we'll see Ward-Froch for the finale then unless Johnson pulls off the upset and then I guess its Ward-Kessler.

I have now switched sides, I'm hoping Ward knocks this guy the fuck out. Abraham misses so badly with his right hand...how he held on to the IBF middleweight title sop long is beyond me...

Abraham didn't face great competition at 160. He didn't beat one elite fighter. At 168 he is facing bigger guys that he can't walk through their shots and Froch, Ward, etc... are elite boxers with size and speed.

[MMASUX]

Yea Ward-Froch will be a helluva a fight, but so will Froch-Johnson. You can't ever count out Glen JOhnson.

Ha, you should dude. I picked Ward to get smoked and Froch has impressed (me). Unfortunately, I think he mugs Johnson badly. Ward is just a smart guy, full of guile!

Ward really isn't much fun to watch either, I hope Froch has better luck with him and wins the SS tourney. (if he can get by the old fox, Glen Johnson)

119-109 Ward

[No Contest]

Ugh, knew the fight was going to be boring most likely, but the first 4 rounds were a tease....AA completely went to shit after the 4th. He really needs to relearn how to box, or just retire. Anyone with any type of boxing skill just completely outclasses him.

[Gandalf]

If only fights were fifteen rounds, the final three would never be dull with AA. He always looks as though he can land that punch as his opponent tires. It's just a shame that he doesn't try to win any of the other rounds. I thought he won that final round.

Still, very good performance from Ward and it wasn't all that dirty. I wish commentators wouldn't compliment a fighter in his ability to hold though.

[No Contest]

Ward looked a little bit better I don't blame him for the fight sucking, it was more of AA just being a turtle and having no offense.

yeah I think Ward is top 5 p4p right now right behind Martinez and Donaire. He just looks so awkward and hard to beat. He proved he can cope with adversity too.
