...too much holding and clinching,i think froch has a helluva chance in beating him!!! ........................................thoughs!
I think it depends a lot on the referee. Will it be someone like the one from Martinez v Williams or someone like the one from Ward v Bika. Ward shouldn't be allowed to clinch headbutt or pin his opponent with the head so much. Other than that I don't think Froch can fight the kind of fight that Bika did. I think Froch can be outboxed by Ward if he uses his hands speed and footwork, not only that but Froch doesn't really know how to fight at close range, so he must keep Ward at long range. Is he able to do that? I also think Ward has better reflexes. Ward by UD is the most probable outcome. All things seems to be in Ward's advantage.
I disagree. He got a chance sure but only a slim one IMO. It was 2 different kind of fights bc the opponents very like the Ying & Yang. Bika was agressive, active, good handspeed, awkard and unpredictable... Abraham wasn't doing anything in there. Interesting fight anyway because Froch always finds a way to surprise me in a good way. But Ward should change SOG to DOG. He got some real dog in him. Bika wanted to test him but at the end he was the one who showed frustration.
Of course a boxer will show frustration when he needs to ko you and you hug him half the fight... and the referee doesn't even pretend to separate the two fighter.
You would hope it takes place at neutral venue with neutral officials, if that were to happen then WAR Froch
