Arthur Abraham ist ein Feigling gewesen, so wie es Carl Froch gesagt hat. Keine Technik und nur dreinschlagen ist seine These. Henry Maske war im mehrfach überlegen .
Wards lead left jab is the ultimate tool. Every young boxer should train to have a jab like that, it penetrates , it probes, it keeps the opponent honest, its out there fast and strong all the time, it creates openings everywhere. Sweetness!
Ward also had the benefit of being a left handed orthodox fighter. It added to the power, authority, and dexterity of his jab. Also why the likes of Cotto, De La Hoya, and Cooney had powerful jabs, though I think Ward has the best out of them.
@@drinfernoddsI think is jab to the body Ward throws often is a work of art. Very simplistic, but effective and momentarily takes the wind out of opponents
FSMNoodlyAppendage yea u don't have to have the reach advantage to jab. short guys can use the up jab to find a way in or stop an over aggressive bigger man in his tracks. there's no excuse not to jab
Andre Ward is fundamentally sound everywhere. He's really amazing to watch. If you take one aspect of the fight away from him, he'll fallback to something else until he makes you give it back.
How should he not be #2 P4P? He dominated his opposition in the super six, Abraham, Kessler, Froch, and Bika. Not to mention he dismantled Chad Dawson, another world champion. Come on now, Ward is the truth.
why won't he fight GGG if he's #2 p4p? they both HBO. Otherwise, why doesn't he go up to light heavy weight since he has nothing to prove at 168...exccept beat GGG or Chavez Jr.
brian b you guys should reallu follow boxing.Tripple G said hes not ready for Andre Ward.those where his exact words. TRIPPLE G Dont want the fight.besides 3G career would come crashing down if he fougt ward

If you followed boxing you would know triple G already lost to Ward once, look it up. And so yes he's scared. Still think GGG deserves the same pay as Chavez Jr if the two were to fight on ppv ??? Maybe you work for Bob Arum if so. Good for Chavez get your money!!
What's up with people loving Golovkin and hating Ward or loving Ward and hating Golovkin? Can't you appreciate both athletes? They're both incredible, both respect their opponents, and both are good ambassadors to the sport. Golovkin is trying to clean out 160 and he is staying there until he has fought all the big names there. Ward still wants some big names at 168 namely Chavez before he moves up to 175. Golovkin has the opportunity to fight light middleweights who will most likely be moving up in the near future like Canelo and Lara. Eventually Ward and Golovkin will fight but you don't have to hate one and love the other.
This polarization makes people blind. If you like Ward, then GGG is a shity fighter. If you like Pacquiao, then Mayweather doesn't know how to fight. And vice-versa.
I'm not worshipping GGG. That's my favorite fighter out there right now but at 68 Ward might wear him down and get the decision. He's a bigger guy that knows how to wear down shorter power punchers. He can stink out the fight until the opponent looses some enthusiasm the way hopkins does. However Golovkin is more scientific than pacquiao. He doesn't waste movement and I don't think he's on ped's like pacquiao obviously was throughout his career. Quillin won't fight him, daniel Jacobs won't, cotto won't. He's waiting for big money fights with smaller guys at catch weights. Ward is waiting on golovkin to fight before he moves up to fight kovalev. Ward is a big 168 he fought at 178 in the Olympics. I'm not a pactard, marquez beat him every time.
Nah, that fights pretty close even with wards natural size advantage. If he's a coward why has it taken so long for peter quillin, and miguel cotto to accept a fight with him? He keeps trying to unify the division and no one wants to take the risk.
Ward is an awesome fighter with tremendous skills, and I think everyone has to give him all the credit for cleaning out the SMW division. He's also a classy champion who is old school in his approach. Would love to see him fight Kovalev, Stevenson , G3 or Quillan ...even at catch weights. Big respect to Ward!
There are still fights to be had at super middleweight. He could face the Dirrell brothers, Groves, and DeGale, or if Ward would like to earn some real money he could rematch Froch and Kessler in their home countries. Not that I ever see him fighting outside of the US in his career, if indeed he ever fights again.
felipe melque go back and watch the fight after round 2 and cut the sound down notice that max and Jim were mesmerized by Sergey power Andre Ward was scoring most people just don’t notice because max and Jim were power struck and Harold letterman had the most bullshit card ever
Abraham has always used his strength as an 'x' factor in his fights. But he found out here that Andre is a very strong fighter. He realized it early on and knew he was in trouble.
Its very strange that any fighter who has been in with Andre Ward are so well dominated that they never consider rematches. GGG is very good but his chances are limited but Kovalev its a much closer fight because of his combination punching, speed and he also has power. That's an even fight.
Haters? Sounds like you're making up some invisible boogeyman to argue with. I've never heard anyone say ward was anything but a great fighter but you go on slaying those dragons
a boring , ultra defensive, anti boxer. And when he can't win he resorts to nut punches. nothing like the attacking black champions that built middleweight boxing into a multi-million dollar thrilling, entertaining spetacle : Julian Jackson, Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns, Gerald McClellan, Chris Eubank, Nigel Ben. Ward took a shit on the sport and ran off like a thief with all the money.
Thank you Andre you did it tremdous heart determination agility technique and timing speed I didn't get to see you fight like this before until now A+ for you and a little of Mayweather style jab own !
I've heard about this guy and this is the first fight of him that I'm watching. I love technical fighters, especially when i hear they've won gold medals in the Olympics. GGG is next on my list.
I mentioned this in another upload, Ward has a solid build, but he looks so much smaller than his opponents. Even here, Arbraham moved up from middle and he looks like he is two divisions bigger than Ward. Part of what makes Ward special though, great skill and deceptively strong.
Jacobs was just a better fighter all around than Quillin. You saw what happened when Mayweather fought canelo who was also a bigger puncher because Mayweather was a superior defensive fighter. I don't think GGG has no chance at all but I think Ward has the edge.
more important then age is the experience of the fighter. if you look at triple Gs record he doesn't have any experience at all against a fighter like ward who has already perfected his style. it would be his first time but I agree its a great fight. and you definitely have a point about canelos weight disadvantage.
LOL dude im talking about as a pro, which you know isnt the same. He hasn't fought anybody as pro and im pretty sure nobody can disagree with that. not saying I don't think hes good fighter but its just the truth.
oh ok a fanboy.... yet you just dismissed canelos amateur backround who fought internationally as well. though not as deep as triple gs you just said canelo lost to Floyd cause of experience. but your right I am a boy whos 15. also ranked number one at 154 in the country and number 7 in the world. joey spencer look me up. what have you done homie?? that ends that didcussion
That jab is great from Ward the best punch in Boxing to control your opponent from coming in aggressively sticking that jab in his face. It will help you on Defense too Boxers need to start using it more.
Nice going for Ward, his holding did not work here much, though. His shots are light, did not shook Arthur. All Ward can is hold, clinch, and hit when he stops holding. Good moving with his head, so body shots would get him down. Good, but not great.
The more I look at Ward, the more I see the stance, hand positions, and punching angles of Bernard Hopkins. I think Andre is a bit more refined, smoother, though not as creative.
@@khmer_sputnik ward would of beat both no problems had all the skills to do so. Can in fight, jab your head off and mix it up you name it just lacked the power punch but my god he wouldnt of worried with either of those men
Floyd Mayweather is the number 1 best Boxer in the World and Andre Ward is the 2nd Best. There are No other Boxer's in the game that even come close to these two guys period!
Fuck Duckweather he won't fight Danny Swift Garcia, Timothy Bradley, GGG or Manny Pacquiao Pac even offered to fight him for free!!!! Floyd doesn't deserve #1 P4P it belongs to Ward!!!!!
realbws94 you can't really say bhop was out of his prime especially when his prime was 30- 45 years old .. his skill is what made him so good . Bhop was still definitely a beast . Maybe Roy because he seemed to age must faster than bhop
Ward is a good fighter, a consistent fighter who’s style is made for winning...doesn't always look pretty; tends to hold to much and doesn't throw enough punches for my liking . But he’s undefeated and his record is impressive so no one can say anything bad about him
enjoyed every minute of this fight…could watxmch it million times i just hate how fast arthur gassed out lmao all them wild ass power punches he was really tryna take ward head off sheesh
doing the stay in your house deep dive on divisions from 2010- 2015. up to 168 now. it was a strong era in this division. lot of good fighters and great time of european and uk based fighters. 168 is usually an international division. lot of good fighters froch, abraham, ward, kessler, bute and good fringe guys taylor, stieglitz, bika, smith plus up and comers dirrell brothers degale paschal and groves. the super six created an environment where the best guys all fought each other. the unquestioned man of the era was andre ward who beat most everybody and retired undefeated. the super six created the opportunity to fight much of the top and he took full advantage. froch would have been the best of most eras and had a great career as 2nd best. Ward became highly respected p4p but did not become the big money star in the usa probably due to the international flavor of his best wins and the 168 and later 175 divisions. i have noticed in 160 and up in 2010 to 2015, it was a great era for Germany. big crowds, lots of champions. of course the klitschos at heavyweight. felix sturm at middleweight. abraham and stieglitz at 68. marco huck and glowacki at cruiserweight. i don't know how much money they were making but they had the action.
Stuffed if I can work the scoring system out. When I was fighting you got scored shit-all for hitting a guys gloves or elbows, you had to hit the front part of the body. According to my count Arthur won the first three rounds and lost the fourth yet the judges scored it even or Ward ahead. What fight are these guys looking at?
Was an interesting and even fight the first 4 rounds after that it got very one sided Ward being the better boxer technically and more stamina you know
Froch dominated Abraham from start to finish, flawless performance look how ward is struggling first half of the fight (not to mention the headbutting)
***** ward may have won but it was no where near the shutout as in froch-abraham.. keep dreaming Actually froch got the better of ward on several occasions But i am not in the mood to make a highlight video for your viewing pleasure Ps froch KOs ward in a rematch if ever
That was not a dominant performance, the fight was close and Abraham threw more power punches. Ward was just a bit more accurate, especially with his jabs. This was not a particularly fan-friendly fight. People want GGG, Kovalev and Stevenson type of fighters who can really hurt boxers, knock them down in an impressive fashion.
It is very good Andre stayed at abe because he looked like he could have teed off any time andre put no hurts or slow downs on opponet opponet looked dangerous every round
