ANDRE WARD PREDICTIONS
has anyone kept track of Andre Wards' predictions whether he's right or wrong over a period of time? I haven't looked back but i'd be curious to know his track record. He currently has Caleb Plant beating Canelo, and Joshua beating Usyk.

Re: ANDRE WARD PREDICTIONS
On Usyk-Bellew
Speaking to FightHubTV, Ward said: "I'mma go with Bellew. I know everybody's writing Bellew off, but how many times have they done that? I'mma go with the intangibles on this one."
Andre Ward on Joshua-Usyk
“It’s a tough fight to call. Some days I feel like Anthony Joshua is going to go out there and be too big and too strong, any Usyk will have moments but they just won’t be enough. Other days I feel like Usyk, with his movement, his boxing ability — even though he’s a blown up heavyweight, he’s not a natural heavyweight — he’ll still find a way to make things frustrating for Anthony Joshua where he’s missing and he’s countering. I can see him outboxing Anthony Joshua.
“But today I feel like Anthony Joshua will win this fight, and I think it will be in an ugly fashion. I don’t think there’s a pretty way that Anthony Joshua can win this fight unless Usyk just gets tired, neglects defense, and gets caught with a big shot. I see Joshua having a stylistic nightmare early on and then clawing his way back into the fight, finding a way to land just enough punches and outworking Usyk just enough, just enough, to where he can win an ugly decision and maybe even a controversial decision.
“Very difficult fight to call and it’s not a foregone conclusion that Joshua’s gonna win but today, fellas, I’m leaning towards Anthony Joshua.

You do understand that as a boxing commentator part of his job is to say things that keep people talking about boxing right?THESURESHOT wrote: ↑17 Sep 2021, 20:16 has anyone kept track of Andre Wards' predictions whether he's right or wrong over a period of time?

Andre Ward is not paid to make accurate predictions about who will or will not win a fight.
He is paid to talk about fights and say things that keep people talking about boxing.
The existence of this thread is proof that he is good at completing the job he is paid to do.

......and this forum is just one website out of a bzillion.
Ward almost certainly reads these forums as does every other boxing commentator but Twitter, YouTube, Facebook. .etc .........are the ones that are supposed to keep get hits from Andre
