Froch by decision. His style will be Ward's kryptonite. Length on the outside, dirty fighting on the inside. He'll dictate with the jab.
I think it's going to be somewhat close but Ward will win. Around 8-4. Froch has an unorthodox style and that's hard for fighters to adapt too but Ward is a level above in skill and he will prevail.
Froch is a better boxer than given credit but, I don't see him out-boxing Ward, who looks to be the more refined and more skilled of the two...If Froch tries to turn it into a brawl, I think Ward might actually win by a wider margin... My money would be on Ward...Froch has surprised me before though, excellent fighter...
Froch will need to knock SOB Ward out to get a split decision.............Ward will have his personal referee and judges, Ward will use his well known "Billy Goat" head butt to try and get a stoppage by illegal headbutt, thus the reason for his personal referee. Froch needs to check out the judges and referee before he fights and no home town or home state for SOB Ward!
Be interesting to see how Wards chin holds up if Froch lands big right hand.. We know Frochs chin can hold up but will Wards..
