Abel Sanchez: GGG knocks out Andre Ward

[jas]

No.

Since when has ward become easy to hit

He's also very physically strong

I see a ward decision

[REMOVE SHARK 55]

What's wrong with Ward's team sending a contract? That's how fights get made.
Not twitter call outs, not talking in interviews, not emails from a lawyer.

As Weebler said earlier Abel's calling Ward's bluff I highly doubt GGG want's Ward at 168 even if they do send a contract. He's still got unfinished business in the division e.g. Cotto and Peter. BTW I think he'll stop both but it still needs to be done & then he can start thinking about Ward.

Credit he beat the mechanical, good yet basic Kessler and Froch but I just do not see a great boxer like people talk about or a guy that skilled. Hes no Roman G, Floyd, Rigo etc
He really does win fights via headbutts, lowblows & elbows.

He moves well, one of the best jabs in the sport but outside of that hes just a spoiler. Its quite sad because he can dictate distance well with his jab and footwork.

All I seen when watching him fight Bika (was so good seeing him out-Ward, Ward) & Abraham (before I fell asleep was)
Jab, slip, headbutt, clinch.
Parry, jab, clinch.
Clinch, elbow
Clich, forearm to throat, elbow

Kovalev knocks him spark out & on topic I don't think Ward beats GGG anymore, not from watching him just.
I really aren't sure he'd beat a DeGale or Andre Dirrell. He just don't impress me he just spoils and knocks the fight out of opposition with illegal tactics.

Hes like a big Carlos Molina. Hideous style! Seems a nice guy but I am not sure how anyone can be a fan of his style.

I think hes overrated (good, effective as hell if hes allowed to fight like an MMA fighter but not elite or close to) and fought flattering opposition, he'll inevitably lose when he fights someone who isn't robotic, slow as hell on their feet and doesn't fight at his pace but I can assume people will say inactivity ruined him. Truth is he isn't all that.
Elite fighters don't give 5 rounds up to Bika and get outboxed by Arthur Abrahams of the world until he gassed, that is reality.

I dunno, styles make fights, many would argue FMJ gave up 5 rounds to Maidana.

He can always move down again. They could even fight at a catchweight of 166 or something like Sturm.

That is a very good point though he was in the prime of his life and Floyd is an old man though I do think Madonna is just a bad style match up in general.

The Abraham fight was worrying, I recalled he done well early but he outjabbed and outlanded Ward, he made no adjustments or nothing Abraham seemed to buzz him then just stopped working for some reason and made it target practice.

I'm really not sold on Ward as an elite or top p4p. Highly effective if he is allowed to fight his fight in a similar way to Carlos Molina.

If anybody can bring the pain it could well be GGG he's so unorthodox and always in a position to punch. However I think it's abit over the top Abel predicting a KO of arguably the best super middleweight of the past, present and future. If it was Kovalev the man from the heavier division I wouldn't grimace if anyone predicted a stoppage.

GGG doesn't bring his punches back...he drops everything to his waist.

There is too much of a gap between the guys he's been fighting and Ward.

If you're not sold on Ward as a top p4p fighter then I know you're not sold on GGG.

[Skip Bayless]

Thos will be a great fight, I think it will happen next year

[Hype job]

Golovkin stops him like the rest of em, what makes Ward any different? If Darnell Boone made him do the Booty Dew GGG can flatten him for sure.

I'm not sold on GGG but I think he has the style and tools needed to defeat Ward, also don't think Ward has enough pop to command GGGs respect. Hes going to give Ward kittens merely with his jab and non stop stalking. Unlike against Froch and Kessler, Ward won't have one shot to look out for.

I don't think Ward has a great chin or the best of gas tanks and I think we'd really see that if he was pushed at a pace he wasn't comfortable with coupled with GGGs bodyshots.

Then again I think Kovalev absolutely walks through Ward. Hes a better fighter for sure but I see that going down the Cleverly route, maybe sooner. No way Ward goes 12 with The Krusher.
