Andre Ward vs. Arthur Abraham 14.05.2011 HD

[@daryllsantos6332]

It's insane how defensively responsible Ward is. He's like a program with no glitches.

[@DanWotanBarrett]

bingo: word

[@tumisomarebane2536]

Duudde!!

[@beni1958]

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 .

[@mariusloveless7880]

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!

[@drinfernodds]

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.

[@2freezing]

@@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

[@drinfernodds]

@@2freezing yep, his strong hand compounded the damage he could inflict with the body jab.

[@Ho11is2Ho11ywood]

This fight is proof the jab is the most important and under-appreciated punch in boxing.

[@Ho11is2Ho11ywood]

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

[@musicclassic5938]

[@didakeepa]

+Igor Pospekhin not really Kovalev more of an inside banger

[@tumisomarebane2536]

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.

[@jcshelley4907]

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.

[@brianb889]

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.

[@Tremelle_]

brian b GGG doesn't want to fight him yet that's why. Has nothing to do with ward. Ward has called GGG out a few times already

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!!

[@MrColelbarry]

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.

[@josegenuino5706]

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.

[@realbws94]

E - Money youre the only that i see hating right now.

[@MrColelbarry]

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.

[@MrColelbarry]

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.

[@MrColelbarry]

I would like to see the Lara fight.

[@xerakis5620]

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!

[@chromativore561]

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.

[@musicclassic5938]

After Kovaev cleans up the LHW division it would be good for him to fight Ward, but Kovalev might want to move up to cruiser weight.

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.

[@holyspiritfor]

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.

[@ImmanelBoxing]

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.

so im 3 quarters german and 1 quarter hungarian

[@Brad45420]

i can only count and pray in german and understand a little. i look sundlandisch i dont know aht that means. and im proud of my opa. he didmt have a choice what he did so the second sentence says something about me being proud of him and yes im proud of him. i have his k98 rifle from the war and his luger. but im not a skin head or anything. he lost all his leg muscle and his 2 fingers. but my oma helped jews escape. so it evens out i think. i think if you go on my google page there is a pic of my opa in russia if im not mistaken. i know he was forced to join the army when he was 16. my mom left austria when she was 8 so she has a vocab of a 8 yr old but my opa spoke 4 languages. im american so i wont waste your time saying im fluent in german or hungarian,

[@Brad45420]

there you can click on my google plus page and see it for yourself. im a proud german but my opa was my best friend as a child and i loved him and he never even talked about what he did in the war we just knew he was a pow and fought on the eastern front and he didnt have a few fingers and his leg muscles werent there on his one leg. its not like he talked about it

Ward’s fight against Kessler should have been stopped and the win given to Kessler after the disqualification of Ward. Watch the two Kovalev fights and the corruption is in plain sight.

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.

[@gamalierestradajr]

Ward vs GGG. Andre Ward wears him down & wins in later rounds by unanimous decision. GGG will get gassed after 5-6 rounds. If he gets countered well by Ward early, in even less rounds 3-4. Body shots would be the key to victory & if Ward lands a few he might even win by knockout in 7-8 rds.

[@musicclassic5938]

If Ward loses at lease one power shot from GGG he is finished and Kovalev will kill this whimp

[@SuperGeronimo999]

Igor Pospekhin Rosado fought 7 rounds, hasn't been down once, and he's a light-middleweight. Stevens is 170cm, and went 8 rounds. Both have been knocked out before, Ward has NEVER been knocked out, and he goes down from one power shot of GGG? Dream on! Kovalev couldn't even kill a 50 year old Hopkins, who got embarrassed by Chad Dawson. Watch what Ward did to him, he ended his career. Oh, and Kovalev got soft skin. He got barely hit against Cleverly, but got cut in 2nd round. Against Agnew he got two cuts. Ward is a dirty fighter, watch what he did to Kessler. He would win a UD against Golovkin, and win by stoppage against Kovalev. Kovalev has been hurt by ONE Hopkins counter, he even admit it. Hopkins hasn't had a knockout since 2004, Ward had atleast 14. Kovalev is hittable, Agnew showed it. If he doesn't get stopped the conventional way, Ward will headbutt him until it gets stopped, like he did with Kessler.

[@asam3622]

SuperGeronimo999 Why are you openly supporting dirty tactics and headbutts like they are allowed, or even encouraged, by boxing regulation? Ward would not have half the success he does if he fought outside of his home town of Oakland with a ref who actually knows what the rules are. Is Ward an elite fighter? Of course he is, not denying that one bit. However, condoning the use of excessive holding, punching while holding, leading in with his head, and headbutting as if it's supposed to be a part of the game and indicates ring intelligence is utter nonsense and not sportsmanlike at all. He can be as humble as he wants outside of the ring, but inside, he is just a talented fighter mucked by a boring style to casuals and dirty tactics that piss me off, and I consider myself to be a boxing enthusiast...

[@SuperGeronimo999]

Asam Alshaef Not even sure if you're serious or not. Where am i supporting dirty tactics? I am just saying, if Ward is still the same, and fights the same, he'll beat Kovalev, no doubt about it.

[@asam3622]

You said, and I quote, "Ward is a dirty fighter, watch what he did to Kessler. He would win a UD against Golovkin, and win by stoppage against Kovalev." You just admitted he was a dirty fighter, and seemed to point that out as one of the reason why he'll win against those guys, and you support and fanboy over Ward apparently so it seems like you're supporting dirty tactics being used...Just how it seems when I read it. You cannot deny that Ward should have been deducted points AT LEAST 1 time in every fight he's been and he should have been DQd against Kessler. I almost vomited when I watched it, it was despicable and is partly the reason why I don't watch Ward fights anymore.

[@nowillywonka2314]

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

[@benjamjohn9690]

(120-108), (118-110),(118-111) that is great performance from SOG.

[@ivanruiz289]

Annoyed that this Ref would constantly call for a break whenever they got close together. C'mon let them have a few inside exchanges!

[@jeremiasimano7271]

The ref is favoring ward of what his doing ,the ref negates the infighting action!

[@MRxROID]

what a robbery....abraham beat ward close fight but he had better accuracy, better punches/harder punches, more power punches. defense wise was better made ward lose most. i think kovalev is going to beat ward....badly and ggg would KO or beat ward in a one sided fight

[@markant9534]

+MRxROID I think using a high guard expertly like Abraham may be the only way to stop someone with as many moves as Ward from hitting you!

[@markant9534]

***** Why would I be biased? What does FOH mean?

[@JayOliMo]

Those punch stats had to be wrong. Abraham barely touched Ward! What in the hell were they counting?

[@anyonei2356]

Abraham not looking very confident before fight

[@eugenefrost595]

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?

[@Mektek19]

Can always count on you brother

[@brethren4life152]

What happened to Arthur Abraham? Did he return?

[@robertg305]

Arthur Abraham and Joshua Clottey fight so similar. Hide in that high guard and give rounds away

[@tipayatipa]

Всегда приятно, когда высококлассный боксёр побеждает примитивного дуболома, делающего ставку на то,что в обмене плюхами его голова и кулаки окажутся более чугунными ) Браво, Уорд!

[@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

Abraham must be tough as nails. He fought 9 rounds against Miranda with a broken jaw? Damn!

[@nerisramos7600]

QUIEN ME DISE CUANTAS VECES AMARRÓ ANDREY WORD A ARTUR.....

[@WeFreestyleForever]

24:05 What is the fucking ref stopping the fight for??! Let them fight!!! This guy sucks. Boxing is a physical sport with IN-FIGHTING. He keeps breaking them up as soon as they get close. WTF

[@WeFreestyleForever]

28:10 WHAT IS HE STOPPING THE FIGHT FOR??????!!!!!!!!

[@7thvenom]

I love all of the ggg fan boys that fallow all of Andre Wards fights and know deep in down inside that ggg will never fight Ward cause everyone knows ggg does not have the skill lolol ggg is fighting guys 2 weight classes below him and Ward is moving up to fight Kovalev.Ward is building a legacy by fighting big fights ggg will not be talked about in 4 years after he can not run from real fights.

[@broli28]

Was that "Hurricane" Carter in Wards corner?

[@JoNSOKOOL]

Fantastic fight.

[@1m349]

What song did ward come out too?

[@jerryoshea3116]

Now this was one of the first fights where he ( Ward)wasn't useing his head& he fought well..Some of his other fights he deserved points being docked..

[@andresmelendez6831]

In that ring there’s only one man fighting

[@MrMarco855]

Excessive holding without being penalized is ruining the sport. It's boring, doesn't resemble boxing at all and is cheating.......

[@lucu01]

i'm so behind on Ward, but so far from two fights I've watched, he puts on a clinic. My word he speaks and mumbles in jabs and body punches, that shell cover up and movement, very very intelligent and aware, present boxer. Arthur just looks lost here

[@kerryholder1635]

That little 5'5" boxer will get killed by Ward. People that don't know shit about boxing need to stop posting stupid comments

[@stevejurado8069]

Man the ref. was quite annoying stepping in to often for my liking , but what hell of a bout.. Must commend mr ward for a valiant effort... both men showed there toughness . Great fight.
