    Has anyone's opinion changed seeing how confident Froch was at the press conference and how rattled ward seemed? I can't believe how good Froch looks he looks happy and in tremendous shape.

    Ward UD, although would love to see Froch give him a good scrap and then win by stoppage late on...

    No, Ward is just too quick or rather Froch is just too slow to win this.

    I can see a Ward stoppage although I'm a big Froch fan. I'm also a massive pessimist!

    Could well just be false confidence. Which is sometimes one of the worst things you can have going into a fight with because you can lose it very quickly once the first bell goes.

    Like pretty much everyone else, I still think Ward should win but I think Froch will make it a lot closer than most seem to think.

    No, Froch is slightly delusional about his abilities.

    I expect him to be massively confident.

    He probably would be if he as fighting Wladimir.

    But honestly that's what makes him a winner, gives him that mad confidence, swagger and mental strength, which can take you a long way.

    I think this will be a hard fight for Ward. Froch has to be careful he's not reckless and be smart in the process of trying to make it a dog fight. His boxing skills are underrated, he has a good jab and he can walk you into punches.

    The main reason this fight is ganna be competitive at least on the cards is that, Froch throws judge friendly punches. What i mean by that is, if he gets hit super clean he always throws back in combinations and tries to have the last word in exchanges which takes what happened to him out of the judges minds. Even if he doesn't land, which he's ganna find hard to do in this fight. Ward will try to smother and handcuff him.
