    I'm a huge fan of Froch but Ward takes this clearly.

    Inside fighting.
    But at the same time,I have to believe that McCracken has had Froch working on improving his inside game,just in case.He must have,surely?
    Only thing is,Froch tends to abandon the gameplan and his ears become immune to any instruction Rob gives at times.
    I hope this isn't one of those nights.

    I think ward is gonna go big to the body of froch. Remember froch was badly hurt to the body against Kessler and went back to his corner in that fight complaining that Kessler hurt him to the body.

    Also, wards trainer mentioned, he may have a good chin, but they is more than one way to get the stoppage and other areas they could target. Either he was referring to a body attack or maybe cuts. I think it's the former as they must've seen froch has been hurt to the body.

    Ward has better short punches and is better technically. I think ward will do everything in this fight. Fight inside, fight out, have good movement - although I still see iy being a close fight due to froch showing grit to land his punches.

    No brainer. Large edge to Ward.

    Ward has the better inside game.

    Ward of course... he's one of the few boxers I've ever seen that can completely tangle up his opponent inside and still have his right arm free to hit with.

    Has to be Ward. Tighter, shorter, more accurate, and turns his punches over better.

    and anyone who can manhandle Edison Miranda in the inside.... can pretty much manhandle everyone else in the division... including Froch.
