    Just because Ward beat Kessler doesn`t mean that Froch wont stand a chance against him. Ward is the better fighter imo no doubt about that, but Froch is.. Froch. And i think people should be very carefull not to overrate Ward in this fight!

    You think Froch is slower?

    Hmmm. I would put my money on Ward, but I think Froch is faster. He's a great counterpuncher, and throws a lot of combinations. If he could gain a little more balance, which is certainly foreseeable with good training, I think he'd be the superior technical fighter.

    Ward would still have the power advantage, of course, and Ward seems to be more relaxed, more confident, in tough situations. However, this could be a GREAT fight. I can't wait.

    A puncher's chance. And the will to find that punch.

    Froch will most likely get schooled. Enjoy

    I'm a huge Froch fan but this will be Ward all day and all night.



    With a bit of luck I just jinxed him.

    Froch should hire Lamon Brewster to poison Wards water bottle. It is for a good cause.

    Froch is tough as hell and has a great chin. I don't see Ward being able to substantially rock him. Any time a man finishes a fight on his feet, he has a chance to pull off an upset.

    I wouldn't put money on him, but fully expect a good showing. And yes, should Ward win I will feel a swell of patriotic pride.

    If it goes to the cards he has zero chance, this is atlantic city and the states, the home of the recent lara robbery, come on, it would be even worse with ward involved, much worse :nut, froch knows this but i dont expect froch to get a stoppage, his punching power at elite level recently does nothing to suggest he can stop ward unless he gets really lucky

    johnsons jamaican, anyone with half a brain knows froch isnt getting a decision in this fight unless he dominates almost every round, were talking about SOG here, undefeated gold medal winning, future p4p no1 prospect, american dude etc and even if froch did totally dominate i wouldnt be suprised if he dropped the decision

    I am a massive froch fan, but am also realistic enough to understand how tough this fight is going to be for him. I make it a 60-40 fight in wards favour.

    I am proper buzzing for this one though as I do believe we are seeing the top 2 in the division!!!
