    His intangibles are reliable, of course, and are what elevate him as a fighter. But no, simply watching him fight is absolutely uninspiring. He's slow, inaccurate and clumsy. The complete opposite of Ward, who one would be hard pressed not to be impressed, by his fight game.

    Ward the favorite - the more talented boxer.

    But - Froch, the more talented fighter, could be Wards nightmare. Before, under and after the fight, Froch will be all over Ward.

    This fight has to be at a neutral ground, and i am sure that referees and others will watch Ward very carefully. Thats all new to Ward.

    If Ward tries to bullies him, Ward will be smash to the grown. Froch to strong and plays it dirty when needed. I could see Frochs strait right or right hook to the chin/back to head and how will Ward react to being under pressure....?

    Yeah but the great thing about Froch is he can block Wards punch's with his face and have very little effect, and land his own bombs which will put Ward up ***** street.:hey

    Froch should lure him in, and then throw the long big right upper cut (witch Kessler should have done every time he came with the head first).....or
    an all out attack pushing Ward backwards. We all know Ward is clever fighter, but what happens if his under pressure all night long from a bigger, stronger and powerful fighter....??

    He's definately stronger and i do wonder how he is going to cope with this, but Ward will be ducking and diving its gonnar be close i think, alot more than the Americans think.

    I said it before the Johnson fight, this is easy work for Ward. Ward is going to get in that ass like a wedgie. Expect a clinic when they fight.

    Ward is probably even better than Hopkins at holding and other none-boxing activities in the ring (such as head butting). NB - some people term these skills (holding, head-butting, holding and hitting etc.) 'in-fighting'.

    So because of his 'in-fighting' abilities Ward should be the clear favorite in this fight.

    ehhh, Kessler beat him - he didnt win there

    If he wasnt fighting in England, that near decision would have went Dirrell's way.

    smashed to the ground? Ward manhandled Miranda, who's quite the ringbully. It was Ward who came out on top over Bika, who tried to out-bully Ward. No, i dont think Froch's gameplan has ANYTHING to do with bullying, let alone trying to answer back.
