    Thats just Bollocks and the revese arguement can be applied.

    Froch ain't American therefore he must be protected and ****.

    This psychoanalysis babble is always useless in boxing. How many guys have apparently lost fights at weigh ins?

    And how many times have I ever called it at a weigh-in... Never.

    I'm not talking about how the fight is going to go.

    Once again.....

    I am saying it is ironic that Ward would acuse Froch of wanting to be in control when it is crystal to me that Ward is trying to stay in control.

    That is it, that is what I am saying.

    Nah, it's not.

    I assure you that if the Brit forum wasn't so pro-Froch that this blatant favourtism wouldn't be taking place. If Ward was British, and beat Kessler, Green and Bika decisively at home he'd be lavished in praise, if Froch was American and received that decision at home against Dirrell he would've been severely chastised.

    I'm not saying that 100% of the people would be of that opinion, but many would be, and don't pretend that they wouldn't.

    I'm not pretending anything, I just don't agree with you regarding the Dirrell decision. And if my memory serves me right didn't the US TV have Froch winning whilst the UK had him losing?

    In control of what? It's just babble IMO, its meaningless. It's a contrived situation where they both have to sit there and talk bollocks, its expected of them so they're talking about shite like who needs to be in control.

    The only thing that matters is who controls distance in this fight. Which is going to be Andre Ward, and I do think deep down even the Froch backers are struggling to convince themselves he's going to win this one. Thats my psychobabble on the fight :D

    An you talk like I have no separate mind from 'the brit frum'.

    Despite how obviously uneducated you have shown me to be I have my own mind and I call fights how I see them.

    I'm not struggling and I will be placing a decent stake with the bookies.

    I am 100% confident in my boy Froch. Carl will be behind but he'll catch upto SOB late on.

    So which side of the fence are you on, the PK trademark 'walk through feather fisted Ward macho man' performance or the 'outbox Ward from range with the jab' one?

    Genuinely, I'm not trying to be a smart ass for once. They're both baffling to me so perhaps someone can explain one for me in a fight where Froch is outmatched in nearly every department.

    So? TyC Sport Argentina had Seda beating Narvaez:lol:, I fail to see how that is relevant.

    Dirrell is the only one from that fight who actually landed clean punches, hence he deserved the decision. The only people who disagree seem to think Froch won because Dirrell ''was a *****'', unfortunately the other man being a ***** doesn't win you rounds, especially when he's punching you and you're failing to hit him.

    And I'm not saying you have the exact same thought process as the entire forum, I said a lot of people here have a similar mindset, which is to find any way to downplay any fighter who is seen as a threat to Froch, which happens daily.

    ^^TFFP I'd say Froch has a better chin..power and stamina(i think) Ward definitely has more advantages going into this fight.

    Thats a loaded question.

    Thats like me saying to you there is no possible way England can win the World cup but tell me how they are going to do it.

    I think Froch's jab will be the Key and when Ward loses his discipline as he has in virtually every fight he will be punished with Froch's right hand. Ward has looked constantly open the the uppercut throughout his career and this also happens to be a shot Froch throws with real venom.

    Honestly the way people go on about Ward you would actually think he is the SOG. He's not invincible, have you not seen the Bika fight or him getting dropped by a journyman. He has flaws.

    And as for outmatched in all departments there is no way on earth you will ever convince me that Ward is tougher than Froch!!!

    Well actually if you want to go with punch stats they also had Froch the winner.

    If someone lands 100 glancing blows and the opponent only lands 3 clean shots I gonna declare the winner the guy who landed the 100 glancing blows.

    The relevance of the T.v. was you saying how Bias us brits are.
