How will the super six play out?

Same goes for Glen Johnson. Anyway pretty close to how i see it going. I see Johnson lasting the distance vs Froch, and Ward winning clearly in the both fights.

 

Froch vs Johnson: Froch should win. It will be tough but i see him grinding it out and having to batten down hatches late on as ever with Glenn who likes to force issue late on. Must remember Green was ahead on cards when Glenn found that right hand..i don't see him Ko'ing Froch but i think he will make a great fight but Froch shown he can stick to plan and will win via UD in a hard fought affair.

Ward vs Abraham: Ward massive favorite. As you say can't right AA off but end of the day with way Ward conducts himself i expect to see plenty lateral movement and attacking off angles and reseting before more feinting before making AA lift his leaden feet some more.

The only difference between this fight and Dirrell and Froch is fact Ward i don't think has there reach which means AA may at times get closer and Ward can leap in but i don't even see that being a factor. UD 120-108.....AA Needs to pull something out...wait and see.

Final: Ward vs Froch: Ward favorite for me, shown he can be dirty and gritty against Bika and also had a grizzled vet's mindset to go along with his athleticism and skills. Froch will have to produce performance of his career. He will make a go of it.

Ward can be got to if you really take it to him and Froch's awkwardness does cause guys issues. Fighters look on and say ''he ain't all that'' step in there with him and he seems to have a way of getting to you.

Easy pick is Ward to Win via UD but there's a long way to go and more to learn about Ward but i'm a fan of the kid and my head says he will win it. Even though Froch has been my boy since day!

Froch's jab and awkwardness is what makes it a very interesting battle.

 

Why is froch's habit of picking up round horrible?

 

If Froch approaches the Johnson fight as he did the one against Abraham then he wins... easily. Like the official judges, I had Green beating Johnson after 7 becaue he outboxed him. Froch can easily do that for 12 but if he gets into a war, and underestimates Johnson's power, then he could lose.

 

The more i look at Froch-Ward ( if it happens of course ), i just cant see Froch letting himself get out hustled by Ward, just can't see it happening. Interesting fight, discuss it more if it happens.

 

Hopefully Froch gets the platform to showcase his talent in 2011. Lillis saying in BM this month that Sky are now likely to pick up both super six semi finals but it would be more reassuring to hear something more concrete.

 

Froch is going to be too fresh for Johnson. Froch, thank god has shown his ringsmanship and totally outfoxed his opponent and negated his best asset, power. I think froch learnt his lesson against Taylor and dirrell at this level. You can't **** about, you've got to win the best way you can, and in style if possible.
Ward is going to have to close distance against froch all fight I reckon. I can see froch jabbing off the back foot all night if he has to. If he is smart enough he can make ward chase this fight.
IMO it cone down to froch ward, and who makes the other fight their fight rather than who forces the issue. Can't wait for the conclusion

 

Ha ha, was just thinking picking up rounds is a great habit!

 

I just think if Ward tries to be clever and tee off on Froch up close he will be surprised whats gonna come back at him. Ill say it now, in a physical fight Ward will not beat Froch, Froch just won't let it happen. And im still undecided if Ward can totally outbox Froch from distance over 12. He ain't a runner like Dirrell, he can be caught.

 

Agree pretty much completely with this. :good

 

I agree and think this is where ward will come unstuck. If froch fights like he did against Abraham, ward will have to come on. Froch has reach and it seems he has the intelligence. As much as ward can rough up froch can too. However, based on performances, ward goes in as favourite, and leaves froch with everything to prove. This could be where froch shows his worth or comes up short against someone world class. IMO on the night it's a pick em

 

The fight that intrigues me most is Froch vs Ward.

I was really impressed with how Froch did an about turn and boxed to a plan against Abraham...... I felt it was something he was capable of doing in patches but not something his ego would allow him to achieve.

He's forever been full of this ''I'm a hard puncher and have a granite chin'' stuff

Ward is pretty adaptable and isn't worried about headbutting or any other illegal stuff, which is unusual for a fairly young American fighter..... not mentioning any names :hey
