    So this is a neutral location for Ward, but an away location for Froch? :blood

    Ward is fighting at home in the US. Distance don't mean jack ****, he's in his home country. Tough luck, few thousands of Ward fans in the Bay.

    Otherwise all of Calzaghe's fights outside of Wales but in the UK against non-UK fighters, and all of Bute's fights in Canada as he is Romanian, would have been "away" fights. Don't make it a double-standard.

    Probably but i hope not. Froch is far more entertaining.

    If Ward boxes smart, I think he will win handily.

    Ward is still getting better. I dont see how Froch will be able to deal w/ Andres short combinations. Froch is a little feather fisted, His best asset is his heart but vs Ward that will work against him. Could be a stoppage by accumalation of punches.
    Ward easy TKO.

    Ward will land the right hand all night with Froch's low left. I see a Bhop type performance, right hand then hold.

    The semi finals and finals were already contracted to be in the states.
    You think Glen would have fought at home when he could have made much more cash in the UK ?

    Froch is a tough and gritty fighter, but Ward got more versatility in his ability.
    Ward by wide margin UD.

    I reckon this will be an extremely close fight and we may see Ward get dropped.

    I'll always tune into a froch fight but conventional wisdom tells me he loses this battle. Ward's as sharp as Dirrel but with 2x the grit. Styles make fights and Ward can adjust if need be.

    And we have another connoisseur here.And may i ask when was the last time Ward won by TKO from accumulation of punches?that's right,he "tko" the beast Shelby Pudwil.In fact,fraud have scored only 1,one,numero uno,unul,ein KO in his entire pro career,over another beast,Glen LaPlante,that's how feather fisted he is.There is no chance he is tko Froch,none,get that in your nuthugger empty head!!!!

    Hey,Ward has been fine tuning his punching technique over the last 12 weeks,apparently he's a power puncher now,and will KO one of the most durable fighters in the world. :rofl
