    As much as I love Froch I see this being a schooling which could be painful to watch. I hope I am wrong but I think Ward takes it in a 118-110 kinda deal.

    I havnet voted because i have never been this unsure over a fight.

    I think its going to be an extremely hard night for both men. I think ward will take the first 3 rounds with his speed and movement but I can see Froch stepping it up and he will be so strong mentally that he is going to hunt ward down. I think either a Ward UD or Froch late TKO/KO.

    If Ward fights cagey and just does enough to edge the rounds, then Froch will end up virtually giving the fight away. Carl is a bit arrogant and will assume that close rounds are going his way and will coast to a loss, then moan about how he was robbed.

    However, if Ward starts to try and really put the pressure on, then Froch will step it up and turn things ugly.

    A UD for Ward seems the likely outcome, but I'm sure Froch and his team won't go into the fight without a solid gameplan.

    All i can say is he has to step up his game after that terrible performance against Johnson, he gotta do something more effective. not sure how it would go down though.

    :huh
    Terrible performance? Thought it was pretty good actually. Although I didn't like him taking those right hands.
    And this is Johnson we're talking about. When was the last time a top worldclass fighter had an easy time with him?

    i think Froch might struggle to get a decision, in more than 1 way

    Might be a bit too high profile a fight for a spot of home cooking?

    Dunno what you expected, but that was pretty much how much aggro I expected Glencoffe to give Frochy tbh :huh

    I felt he won close but clear, as good as a fighter of Frochys calibre to deal with a fighter of Johnsons skillset IMO :thumbsup

    Froch did not impress me at all against Johnson. I thought he was horrible for large portions of the fight. [I got too tired to notice what was going on after about the 8th].

    He needs to tone down the ridiculous, robotic RJJ style nonsense too.

    I expected much more.
