However, the crucial point is that he is a light-welterweight and not a welterweight. I expect him to put up a good fight, maybe even drop Berto, but ultimately get overwhelmed and possibly stopped. I like Ward is taking on a new level of opposition. It will, as Mr Dower aludes to, give us an idea of where Ward stands. If he doesn't beat Miranda, he won't be able to compete with the likes of Bute, Froch, Kessler, Taylor etc. This is another fight with the potential for the winning fighter to comeback from a rocky moment to win by stoppage. It's not as easy to call, but I'll stick my neck out and say Ward.
