Andre Ward hasn?t stopped any of his seven opponents the past three years, save one Shelby Pudwill. But he has brutalized every one of them.
True, Ward hasn?t even been knocking opponents down. But the standing eight counts seem to be lasting eight rounds.
?After three or four rounds, they don?t want to fight Andre anymore,? says his trainer, Virgil Hunter. ?They want to protect themselves. They don?t want to take a beating. They start turning and start protecting themselves. A beating is career-threatening, and this is what he is capable of doing to you.?
But Hunter is not expecting Carl Froch to retreat in Saturday?s Super Six tournament championship match in Atlantic City on Showtime.
