    I was at the fight I am an American and rooted for both guys

    I have followed Froch for the most part

    but tonight I left the arena thinking what kept him up

    he got hit with some real bombs from Johnson

    and his response was hit back

    the fans were incredibly loyal and Froch put on a show to be proud of

    tough to say Ward is a good boxer tight defense accurate puncher

    Froch tends to take 3 or 4 rounds to get going he may want to be solid from the beginning it will be close

    im a fan of froch but he is an underdog in my opinion

    but he has done this

    dealt with the jab of kessler

    dealt with the speed of dirrel

    dealt with the power of johnson

    got off the deck and came from behind vs taylor

    ward is still untested in some of those categories

    froch is exactley the guy to give you a baptism by fire

    gonna be an interesting fight

    froch will not hide or let ward do his usual

    froch will fight back and dig deep and even get rough if needed

    Ward will do a Taylor (without the early KD), but not gas out.

    Ward has been tested and is the genuine article. Go through his career and you will see what I mean. Froch was not really able to deal with Dirrell's speed. Many thought he lost that fight and he did lose to Kessler. I think he is a real good tough fighter and champion but I have to go with Ward who I think is a real pound for pound contender. I think Ward will take him to school.

    carl must up his workrate,i have nightmares while watching him,i find myself wanting to thro shots for him,"work,work you *******!" also he has a natural 'flinch' when he gets hit and often looks more hurt than he actually is-which adds to his awkwardness.his power suffers greatly as he also throws shots from an almost upright position.i really feel for rob in most of carls fights he must get very frustrated when the blank expression comes over him.

    Johnson is a very awkward customer, I can't believe how much grief Froch is getting for beating him.

    I can't understand why they make so much out of Froch beating Dirrell(very close,perhaps even Froch lost),Kessler(whom he lost to) and Abraham(over rated and clearly a middle) and Johnson(tough but limited and 42 years old).
    Against Ward he will be fighting a young,faster version of Dirrell.I can't this going any way but an easy UD for Ward.I like Froch but he is being promoted as a giant killer,which he isn't.

    Ward victory will prove Kessler win.

    haha same

    i don't know if it's because he's always looking to land a bomb and doesn't want to just fire jabs/hit gloves

    Let's face it, he can't do any worse than Kessler did against Ward.

    You can't doubt Froch's heart. He he has plenty of it but as said, he's doesnt work hard enough and is slow. Against technical boxers with speed he will always struggle if they box on the outside.
