Froch by stoppage, for some reason boxing has a habit of repeating recent events. the agbeko low blows - dirrel low blow the month of upsets then the eye troubles of margarito . . . . . got a feeling the same thing will happen to ward
The cookie will crumble. Miranda, Kessler, Green and Abraham. They all submitted. Bika was the only one to keep pushing.
I can smell another robbery here, the thought of an American fighter not winning this in America? Close fight wide decision given to Ward.
Yeah and Jim Watt said it on Sky Sports about Ward.Many people worked it out for themselves before that.It's not rocket science.People have theories and opinions without having to hear or be told them.
"This ain't the Carl Froch show" either. On the other hand, Froch made Ward uncomfortable by looking him in the eye and saying "I can knock you out. With either hand." - Ward didn't see it coming, and didn't have a counter-argument. You saw Froch getting frustrated against Dirrell because of the negativity, the movement & speed exhibited by Dirrell right? He roughed him up pretty good. He didn't cut the ring off in a textbook way, but he eventually got something going in rounds 7-8-9 that could turn the tide against Ward (oddly enough Dirrell came back in 10th all fired up). It's a possibility, and like I said I give it a 20% chance. Kessler who had been clowned by prospect Ward, and past it Miranda didn't have the warrior like heart & attitude Froch seems to be bearing here. By the way, Pac Man is a bad example to use. Didn't he change trainers and improve both his timing & punching technique? I don't see Ward "improving" a lot more technically speaking. I'm referring to shear heavy handed power, which Ward never had. Virgil Hunter said to Froch, "there's two kinds of power, one of them is the long accumulation (...)" - that's the only, slight chance Ward has of 'accumulating' enough on Froch's proven chin. I don't see that happening, but that's just me I guess.
I think froch is coming out guns blazing trying to knock his head off, lets face it ward is the superior boxer if he turns it into a boxing match he gets schooled, so the alternative is war, try to ko him, he cant do **** back cause he has no power and froch has a great chin, if he wants to get rough headbutt him right back, try to open that cut again etc. WAR!
For me this is the most intreuging fight of the year. Froch has every physical advantage besides speed, and has improved more than anyone else since the beggining of the Super Six. IMO he'll actually come out and try to Box with Ward because he's longer, when that fails and he's realised Ward can't hurt him, he'll turn into the old Carl and we'll potentially have a fight. Ward wants to keep the pace measured, but if he's pushed (and Froch is the man to do that) it'll be intersting to see what he has inside, and how good his chin is. Ward is the solid favourite, and Froch is a VERY live underdog.
I've already given my thoughts above, and I really am excited for this fight, more than any other this year. A kid I'm training in the gym (very knowledgeable for 14) thinks this fight could look like Khan vs Maidana.
