    Don't like it. Looks vulnerable to the counter and his speed in throwing it seems to patch over its vulnerability. That being said, Froch isn't the man to counter that punch.

    He switches from southpaw to orthodox back to southpaw in one combination. Which means at various points he squares himself up. A no no in boxing. But it works.

    Cant wait to see Wards gameplan when he fights Froch. Ward has a sizeable reach and height disadvantage. Wonder what Virgil Hill's gameplan is going to be.

    Look how he changes stances while he's throwing combinations.

    I bet we'll see mostly infighting from Ward. And when he's not inside, circling and jumping in with well-timed attacks. I don't think he'll get into a boxing match or a jabbing chess match against Froch.

    You mean Froch has a height and reach advantage right?
