    im going out on a limb and saying Froch by a late stoppage, the pressure is on Froch and he always fights well under it

    Pascal - Vacant World Title - FOTY
    Taylor - Taylor favourit - FOTY
    Dirrell - Froch Favourite - SD
    Kessler - Froch favourite - Loss
    Abraham - Abraham favourite - Froch dominated
    Johnson - Froch favourite - close fight
    Ward - Ward is the favourite . . . . Carl is bringing those belts home

    8/1 with the bookies in some places for Froch to stop ward.

    Ward by close decision in a competitive fight.

    I'm rooting for Carl Froch though, and I believe he is a live underdog.

    I am actually somewhat afraid of this.

    What if theres controversially no controversy?

    One thing i hate about boxing is the excuses are flying all ready.

    Noob question:

    I have never actually seen either guy fight:patsch. I was thinking of giving this a go. On a sliding scale of 1 to 10, 1 being Klitschko-Ibragimov, 10 being Gatti-Ward (or any FOTY), where do you guys think this will rank?

    I know, I know, there's Youtube but I have bad Internet management and my GBs are running low:-(

    Your poll results are considerably closer than the prediction league breakdown.

    Can't see Froch beating Ward without an interactive ref.....Smoger let's em go, and that's a good thing for us when the fighters are both keeping it clean but tight in the trenches, but we all know what Ward likes to do while in the inside.:-(

    I expect Ward to win, but Carl always seems to surprise me...

    I fear that it will be a somewhat stinker hovering around 3-4 on your scale.
