Do you Euro's really think that Carl "Slobra" Froch has a chance against the S.O.G?

    I think Froch will give Ward trouble. Bika gave Ward all he could handle and Froch is twice the pressure fighter Bika is.

    I think Froch loses his temper big time as Son of goat tries to head butt his face off.

    Froch will fight dirty back and be penalised by the referee time and again, while ol **** eye gets away with it.

    Ward does tend to hang his jaw out now and again, so its all about how Froch deals with the odds being heavily stacked against him.

    If you think Froch has a suspect chin after been down once after getting sloppy against Taylor who was a world class operator, then id love to hear your opinion of Ward getting dropped by Darnell Boone and put on ***** street against Kenny Kost. Both journeymen who are definetley not noted as punchers.

    Froch sucks at applying pressure. Not good at it. He best fighting off the back foot using his reach and length advantage. When he has to come forward, i.e Dirrell and Kessler he looks bad.

    Actually Jim Grey asked Dirrell if he could fight his friend. And Dirrell said for millions of dollars he could. Never heard Dirrell say he didnt want the fight. Come on you have more sense then the other limeys on here.


    She was talking about Abraham. and Dirrells wife is fine and she ghetto.

    Froch actually beat Pascal and didn't hit the canvas either.:rofl



    Sounds so easy doesn't it ......




    I quite like Bradley tbh, but Khan has the speed to see him off possibly ...





    This guy coulda been so much more, undoubted talent but serial ducker and dodger ...

    We're doin O.K, Britain is buzzing with appreciation for the Sport, It's a place where Arenas are jam-packed, unlike the U.S I'm afraid.


    This is what I'm talking about, born and bred pinoy but such is the scarcity of homegrown heroes the US will claim him anyway lol


    Irrelevant, the lack of US fighters should be your concern, Khan and Froch could conceivably get on there and level it up with you guys ....

    The biggest avantage of Froch is Ward power. If Froch cannot be hurt by Ward, I see Froch putting a lot of pressure and put Ward outside his confort zone.

    But first we need to see how Ward will boxe against AA. If he do the same inside stuff and dont use the "blue print" Dirrell and Froch used, he may win, but it will also show that Ward is starting to get unidimensional himself.

    And that has what to do with anything? You taking Pascal over Hopkins? You iz that stupid son?
    Ward will make EZ work of Froch.
    Yeah. possibly. :rofl
    Hey that ducker dropped Hatton like a stack of bricks. :hat
    Nobody cares.
    Nonito is homegrown. Lived and trained most of his life in America. Fought for the US national team.

    Dont be mad cuz fighters actually strive to fight and earn a living here instead of smelly ole Britain.
    Again what lack of US fighters clown? Do I have to list them again?

    Khan maybe. Froch? :rofl You'll never even it up with Amerca. Ward, Hopkins will both be on the list in a few months. That'll give the USA 5 fighters in the top 10 p4p. You better hope Calzaghe comes out of retirement limey.

    Bika was doing very good, but he wasnt able to continu with his game plan because of his stamina. After that, Ward looked better and better, he was going in his groove, getting back confidence, etc. Froch has great stamina, so it will be interesting to see how Ward will handle this.

    I think Ward is favorite, but theres a lot of ? that makes that fights not so easy to call. In another word, I will not put too much money in Ward. And again, I will wait the next stage before trying to call the fight.

    When Froch has to apply pressure he struggles. Against AA and the early part of the Kessler fight he looked good because he was able to fight using his jab and length at a distance.

    Froch is not a pressure fighter. He fights out of the mongoose style using his jab.

    People still have this misconception about him.


    Froch has one advantage in this fight. And that is Ward might not box Froch but use the same style he's used in his last coupe fights. this will give Froch some opportunities to make the fight ugly.

    Let's say your right. Cant a boxer work and improve certain side of their craft?

    The problem right now, is Ward used the same (or about so) "strategy" in his last couple of fight. If we say that Ward can change and adapt, I guess we need to give the same to Froch.

    I think it will be a great fight. Froch is always entertaining!
