    Both Ward & Froch get deducted points for either an elbow or a headbutt, Ward wins a tough UD mostly spent in the pocket 9-3, maybe 8-4. I give that scenario an honest 80% chance...

    ..the other 20% involving a Froch KO/TKO late in the fight by accumulation of power hooks & uppercuts on a more static (than usual) Ward :D

    Draw.

    Ward win maybe 1 more round than Froch but Ward also gets dropped at some point.

    It will be extremely close either way.

    I think Ward takes a UD.

    To me Ward is a better inisde fighter than The Cobra and will look to work him over in there.

    Don't know about anyone else, but i think Ward is gonna play the bully role in this fight. He's gonna try and work inside and Froch will try and maintain distance to avoid Ward's faster combos and rough inside stuff.

    Should be a nice competitive fight. I wouldnt be shocked if Froch pulls an upset, but I don't expect it.

    I think Froch will most likely stop Ward at some point. Ward simply doesn't have the power to keep Froch off.

    2 now, but I think it was up to nearly 40 votes altogether before anyone went for it.

    :think Are people that mistrustful of Carl's chances to get the nod in the US?

    America is on par, if not worse than Germany for robberies, so it is likely.

    I'm gonna go with Ward by UD. This will set up an undefeated showdown w/ Lucian Bute for the Undisputed Super Middleweight Champion of the World.

    Would Froch vs. Bute (with Froch having beaten Ward) not also be for the Undisputed Super Middleweight Championship of the World? :think


    ...or would Kessler then enter into & murk up the picture, with the recent win over Froch still looming?

    Come off it. Fighters get robbed in America and Germany far more frequently than here.

    It is simply because of money.

    Big fights in America make more than Germany, and in Germany they make more than the UK - As a general rule.

    Also Ward beat Kessler before Kessler beat Froch.

    Cheering for Froch, but if I were betting it would be on Ward (points).

    Bite him Froch!!!

    I think "homeboy" Ward will win on points and give Kessler a rematch next summer,
    to prove that he is not that big a coward.

    but I hope that Froch win on KO in round 2!
