    Based on what I saw last night Froch schools the billygoat and knocks him out with an uppercut. Froch has the best uppercut at 168 bar none.

    Bute has the best uppercut in the super middleweight class.

    Yeah I believe that Froch and Dirrell would be the ones to give Ward the most trouble in the ring, Froch is deceptively awkward and he doesn't come straight forward like Kessler did against Ward, he is too smart for that. If Froch gets by Johnson, I see an interesting final lining up for the super six and wouldn't be surprised if Froch takes it. I just hope that the fight is in England and that Ward finally has to travel.

    I was waiting to see if AA would throw an uppercut last night, it was there for him but of course he didn't. Towards the end of the fight AA did manage to counter Ward's jab by coming over top of it with his right hand 3 times i think. A Froch-Ward fight interestes me alot. # 1 matchup will be the battle of their jabs.

    Pretty sure it's already been decided that tha finals would be in Vegas. I'd like to see it in England too but i imagine it'll be on "neutral" (lol) territory in Vegas.

    I think Froch-Ward would be a close fight and if it did take place in England it might swing it for Froch

    Froch just has to stay on his feet in England for the fight to swing his way ..It be a good match but hopefully this happens in Vegas ..

    Could you elaborate? Because while Ward and Dirrell DO have huge physical and stylistic advantages over Abraham...it's not like Froch doesn't have huge physical and stylistic advantages over him too.

    Froch was always a rangey long-range boxer before the Pascal fight, and could really turn it on in sparring.

    Nope he didnt watch the fight again

    Also there is no chance this fight happens in the U.K. after all the money showtime have put into it. The semis and finals have both been booked in the states right at the beginning of the tourney. Even tho both the semis would have done better gates in europe but oh well

    Well yes i will give Froch his credit...He hands down put on the best performance of the 3 against AA.

    Dirrell actually did the most damage, landed shots very flush and busted AA up and had him bleeding, and scored a KD. It's a shame Dirrell had to ruin his performance by acting like a ***** and faking a seizure.

    Froch has come a long way and proved to be a better and smarter fighter then everyone thought.
