    Ward will win a clear decision. Not surprisingly though, people on here will complain about how the fight wasn't fair.

    I wouldn't count Froch out. He's the type who doesn't capitulate in a loss. Ward will definitely have to earn it, but he wins a decision. Wouldn't be shocked of he stopped him late on either.

    And they'll complain if Froch wins fairly.Funny how so many people are accusing or predicting Froch will complain when he's never been known for it.His only defeat he accepted not long after that he performed poorly.I suspect a lot of Ward fans suspect this won't be the walkover they thought it might be and this is the nerves starting already.
    I suspect Froch is in for the fight of his life and has his work cut out for him,but I hope he rams it right up Ward's ass and we'll see who's complaining.
    If Froch was on the end of an identical fight and verdict as Khan the other night,I would say he lost fair and square and I hope he'd do the same.

    I believe Froch will win by decision.I don't think Ward punches hard enough to keep Froch off of him.I believe that Ward's lack of ko power and Froch's hard chin will be the difference in the fight.

    Ward is a very capable boxer,but lets not forget,Froch has only one loss,and that was down to Frochs laziness,and arrogance.Had Froch fought for 3 minutes of every round instead of landing single shots,and then standing back and admiring his work,he'd have beaten Kessler.As for Froch being feather fisted,well Kessler's chin is proven,and Froch was clearly the bigger puncher in that fight.
    There is also a lot of talk about Froch being a dirty fighter ? This reputation was obviously bestowed on him after the Dirrell debacle,but what does a fighter do,when the guy in front of him just wants to throw single shots,then grab you around the waist ?
    All the ifs,buts,and maybe's will be answered this Saturday,Ward may be the favourite,but Froch keeps winning fights when people have written him off.
    Lets see what happens if the ref stops Wards dirty tactics,or allows Froch to play the same game.

    Draw or a point or two either way. Ward will win more rounds but I see him getting dropped at some point, lets see if he can recover and go on to win.

    With fair officiating, Froch can win this.

    But sadly, it's very rare that American officials are fair to a European boxer.

    he has a good uppercut, hasn't used it much lately but if he does he could take wards head off if it connects.

    Ward by UD.

    One way or another. I actually think Ward has a decnet chance of winning this one without his 'special' plans B, C, and D. But if he can't he will step on Froch's toes, hit him low or in the back of the neck, or complain to get the ref to take points off Froch.. or something else.

    In the US Ward wins.
