本周六早拉斯维加斯的梅威瑟VS麦格雷戈大战，IBF\WBA\WBO轻重量级冠军安德烈·沃德有一个前排座位，是ESPN报道团队的一部分。
很多人认为麦格雷戈很难在梅威瑟手底下走到十个回合，沃德也是一样。所以，首先沃德说认为梅威瑟老了，状态明显下滑，甚至他根本就不应该被一个没有拳击经验的人击中，甚至应该退休了，麦格雷戈表现的比预期的要好。
沃德还质疑梅威瑟有几次把背部完全亮给麦格雷戈，把手放在头上的行为，一些专家认为梅威瑟这是在试图引诱麦克格雷戈去做违法的事情。
沃德说；“我不明白梅威瑟为什么把背部亮给麦格雷戈，我个人是不会这么做的，我们也被教导不要去做，你必须时刻保护自己。如果因为某种原因麦格雷戈失去了冷静，用拳头猛砸梅威瑟的后面，他可能真的会很受伤。虽然我们也看到了几记锤击拳，但我认为麦克格雷戈已经表现出了很大的克制。作为一个职业人士，我们一定要引以为戒。”

Many saw the fight as a complete mismatch with McGregor likely getting stopped in the first half of the contest. Very few expected him to survive until the tenth round.
IBF, WBA, WBO light heavyweight champion Andre Ward had a ringside seat and was part of the coverage team for ESPN.
The man who many regard as the current best pound-for-pound fighter in boxing, expected a more dominant performance from Mayweather. He felt Mayweather, now 40 years old, was finally showing signs of his age. And like many others, Ward was surprised that McGregor performed as well as he did.
“I expected a lot less from McGregor and I expected a little bit more from Floyd Mayweather. I think Floyd showed his age a little bit. He’s still got a lot left in the tank, but when you start seeing yourself getting hit with punches you typically won’t get hit with, especially against a guy with no experience, and you’re not offensively getting off and throwing like you should be - it’s time to hang it up. It’s not that you don’t have it, but you want to leave before you don’t have it anymore," Ward said.
Ward was also questioning some of Mayweather's tactics in the fight. There were several instances where Mayweather completely turned his back on McGregor and placed his hands over his head. Some experts felt that Mayweather was attempting to entice McGregor to do something illegal.
“I didn’t understand Floyd giving McGregor his back. That’s something that personally I don’t do and we are taught not to do. You’ve got to protect yourself at all times. If for some reason McGregor lost his cool and hit Floyd with a meaningful punch behind the head - Floyd can be really, really hurt. So I don’t understand that. I think McGregor showed a lot of restraint even those we saw a few hammer punches. We’ll take that from a guy doing this pretty much all his life," Ward said. |
