Froch vs Ward looks like a mismatch doesnt it?

Ward has the boxing skill to nullify Froch's offense and will punish Froch for keeping his hands low. Froch has improved alot but Ward has much better fundamentals and is a more rounded fighter, able to fight long distance, medium distance and the inside.

I think they could fight 10 times and Ward would win every time.

There is a reason why Ward has not lost for so long.

 

I rewatched the Ward -- Bika fight. Bika was surprisingly elusive and Ward had a hard time landing clean on him. Bika was also extremely strong and physical on the inside, preventing Ward from getting off by locking arms.

Froch is also strong, but not used to the type of inside mauling and brawling that Ward welcomes.

 

froch isnt nearly as talented but he has heart a nd drive. i think it will be close for a few rounds and then ward will take over. cant wait though

 

Ward has been spoon fed and is coming in thinking its going to be easy

Froch has faced the best the tournament has had to offer

Wards going to rough Froch up when he gets taken out of his comfort zone, Froch is going to rough house back, Points will be taken, Somebodies hitting the canvas knockdown or not, Ward is going to have to hope it goes to scorecards

 

This is no mismatch. This is actually one of the best fights that can be made.

Froch has a massive reach advantage and probably the best jab in the Super 6. He's also been improving every fight, which is noticable by the sharp shots he landed on the inside against Johnson.

Ward is a perfectionist and likely has the edge on the inside, but may not be able to control the fight at range. I suspect that his will be to take this fight on the inside against Froch considering he did so against Green and Bika who also had longer reaches, and one of which is known as a decent outside boxer.

Both guys like to scrap and both are highly skilled.

I think it's an excellent fight, but I slightly favor Ward to take a close decision. Either way, it's very competitive.

 

Son of Otkke will lose to Froch, bring the fight over to europe, lets see how well he does in a unbiased location.

 

Johnson hits harder than ward this will be a big problem for ward if froch feels like he can walk through ward.

 

nice analysis.

 

"SOG's people will demand this fight be in the USA"

Actually, Showtime demanded it three years ago when the contracts were signed.

 

Bika looked great with Ronnie Shields. I think he'd beat Dirrell or maybe even Kessler right now.

 

Doesnt take much.

 

ward is just too skilled for any smw right now. we will see how long he reigns supreme

 

You're right. When Ward won an Olympic Gold medal in Greece he revealed how completely out of his depth he was when he had to fight in an unbiased venue.
