Nah, Middlerange is Abraham's bread and butter(the one place he doesn't suck) and if you let him work there he can and will hurt you. The ref wasn't allowing any up close and personal work from either guy, so it was basically all outside for Ward, where he really hasn't been for a while. He should work there more frequently. He was using his combinations a lot more, moving more, and I think he's a little more exciting that way. I like watching him maul on the inside, he's a better infighter than anyone else in the world right now, but he needs to focus on the "completeness" aspect of his game. As it stands now he's the successor to B-Hop's steez. In every way. He's America's crown jewel, the best we have to offer the world stage right now. believe that shit.
Plus stopping abraham is hard as fuck. Look at what dude did against miranda like this:
