    Not sure. I think Abraham had more moments against Ward than he did Froch, but I would have to review the tape.

    Who beat Abraham worse, Froch or Ward?

    I'll put a poll up.

    ==========================================
    ==========================================

    Updated info on scoring for the two fights:

    Here are the scores:


    Froch-Abraham
    120-108 CF (12-0 CF rounds)
    120-108 CF (12-0 CF rounds)
    119-109 CF (11-1 CF rounds)

    Ward-Abraham
    120-108 AW (12-0 AW rounds)
    118-111 AW (10-2-1 AW rounds)
    118-110 AW (10-2 AW rounds)

    So, Froch lost a total of 1 round to Abraham on the judges' scorecards (same number of total rounds Pacquiao lost to Mosley); Ward lost a total of 4 rounds on the cards, and drew one other round.

    Froch landed much stiffer stuff and engaged him with his long punches more frequently.

    Abraham is tailor made for Froch. Ward had to overcome a stylistic puzzle. Froch beat him worse but I was impressed with Ward's performance.

    Unlike what the commentators were saying
    Ward is a boxer. Not a boxer puncher where as Froch is a boxer puncher.

    Abraham is now out of the 168 lb picture for good.
    Stays here he is a gate keeper.

    I would rather have seen Froch Vs Ward and Johnson Vs Abraham.
    More pleasant fights.
    Now as long as Froch gets by Johnson - which he should just by
    doing the exact thing he did against Abraham.

    Froch beat him worse, he controlled him from start to finish.

    Ward did well though

    Neither, I thought Andre Dirrell hurt Abraham much more, plus scored a knockdown, and basically busted and bruised Abraham's face up from the first round on.
