Another key to Froch's success was movement and staying out of range. And that's the point of interest. If Ward employs his usual tactics by boring in head-first he just might catch an abrahammer. It'll be interesting to see if Ward's (by some) highly praised adaptability enables him to refrain from his usual battleplan.
Abraham doesn't even know the meaning of counter. Ward will make his way to the inside and **** Abraham. By the time this fight is over, Abraham will be called Mrs. Ward.
I don't think you just need to fight Abraham on the outside to win. As far as I can tell he cannot fight on the inside either. He likes to fight at mid-range so he can line up his opponent and get leverage on his shots. If Ward smoothers him like he did to Green then it would neutralize his power.
Post a pic of their feet as well, because that was the weigh in and Froch could have had this shoes off. I dont know how to post videos but look at the actual footage of them in the ring. The height difference is hard to miss.
Ward has no chance to lose to abraham dont you mean? I would be shocked if abraham landed a lucky punch on ward and thats what it would take, but abraham is slow and his punches are very avoidable, froch even managed it and hes no speed freak so ward should have a pretty comfortable night
And judging by that pic, Kessler is taller than Froch. Do we really believe that? Also, Dirrell is listed at 6ft2 and he and Froch looked closer to the same height.
...for Ward to switch gameplans. I see Ward coming out with the same one he had vs Bika, catching a couple shots between the 4th and the 6th maybe. Then it's AA-Dirrell all over again, Ward's foot & hand speed taking the lead over Turtlewax Arthur. Pretty sure this will be (sic) in Joakland. Ward getting KD in the mid to late rounds would be a shocker either way, especially considering how Froch and Dirrell toyed with AA. Ward getting up and storming back, killing AA from the outside - awesome story for Showtime. Ward being affected, slowing down - 48 different glassjaw threads about Ward here on ESB. Ward by comfortable UD, AA's puncher chance vs a so called versatile fighter is not a good chance at all.
