Charlie Ward on his Official Twitter page has a profile picture of him fighting Joao Carvahlo just after taking a straight left to the face and reeling from the punch. Anybody else find that extremely crass to say the least?

I think it's an absolute disgrace to set your profile picture to a punch that may have played a part in ending another man's life. There. It's said. I'm sure plenty won't be bothered by it but i think it's a really insensitive, d1ck move on Wards part.

Everyone interrupts things differently. Don't forget Ward has to live with what he did in the ring. That must be impossible. I don't think it's fair people sit on their high horses and judge him on that. I don't know why he picked that picture, but I'd very much doubt it's for 'crass' reasons.

On my personal twitter account I'll hold on to my right to block who i choose but on an open forum i accept the bad with the majority thats good being in the spotlight I'm lucky enough to hold right now for this brief period of time. However the recent attacks towards charlie are really saddening and disappointing. I had just posted the dangers of believing the 'absolute' style posts of someone who actually doesn't have the slightest notion of whats actually going on and so many of you are so fast to immediately assume the worst. Do none of you actually have any friends who are not obsessed with social media? If you do, thats Charlie. He has zero idea about Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. As difficult as that might be for you to imagine. As of today ive taken over his page so posts moving forward I'll accept responsibility for. As for twitter, whoever set up his account is ignoring my dms. As some of you may know i had to follow it so i could dm. Kinda sad the worst is immediately assumed, then accepted as a given. Bizarre you would think dollery following it, who i dont think has even met Charlie, would somehow lend weight to the assumed fact Charlie has any control over it. Guys, just try a small bit of critical thinking before jumping to utmost offence.

If we assume that this is an official account, which it may not and looks like it isn't, then the criticism of the photo is valid. I post on here under a user name but if I did have a facebook or twitter account under my real name and I went to a job interview, HR for that company would be searching through that social media account to check me out. They would not limit it to the Engineering posts, though it would be an engineering job I would be interviewing for, but to everything. It may or may not be right but it is the reality of the situation. You question others ability for critical thinking but I would question are you engaging in this type of thinking yourself? It's quite logical for people to have a problem with that photo considering what happened and assuming it's actually the individual himself owning the account. At the end of the day it's a storm in a tea cup that can, and looks like will be, easily resolved.
