I keep seeing people say Froch was hurt. Tell me when he was hurt? This content is protected Look at his face, does he look hurt?
Ward and his corner are very tactically astute. They don't have a plan but they know the strengths of there opponent and what to avoid and how to avoid it and it works. He's a smart fighter. Froch when he stops war mongering can be very awkward and his jab is top class at times. People see Froch as a ******ed one dimensional brawler and to be honest even as a fan...i can't argue...he really pisses me off at times...he gets told to box and he still wants a war..but i do feel at times people don't understand he's not a one punch knockout artist...he hurts you with each shot and it's the accumulation that takes it's toll on you.
i agree that dirrell was too negative throughout the fight but imo it was similair to haye-valuev,froch was forcing the fight but not successfully
The holding was greatly exagerrated by Froch fans. You wanna see holding, watch the second fight between Danny Williams and McDermott. Dirrell fought a good fight. There's a reason why the move is banned, it's ****in dangerous. Ducking to avoid punches is a part of boxing, clinching is a part of boxing, rabitt punching is not. I'm not saying headbutting is okay, but to say Froch is genuine, while Ward is a cheat......well that's ****ed up.
There is not one thing Froch does better than Kessler. Ward will whoop Froch like he's his daddy. Actually, that's wrong; they won't ever fight, since Froch is almost certainly going to lose his next two fights.
Kessler is very textbook though. He's too predictable. He's better technically than Froch but then again, Jimmy Young was more textbook than Ali. Froch's unorthodox style works in his favour.
Kessler trumps Froch in nearly all catagories; Ward will land even easier, cleaner and harder on Froch than Kessler. Plus, the Dirrell fight showed us that Froch ****ing SUCKS against fighters with movement and speed. And also that his chin isnt anywhere near as great as it's made out to be. Ward will take him out of there imo.
0:59 seconds into this vid. He gets buzzed thats all. Not as if he was going to get knocked out just buzzed. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phta5fkCDTw[/ame]
It wasn't exagerrated at all mate, I was there, he was even taken a point off for it, or was the ref exagerrating as well. Froch throws out all kinds of punches, and ofcourse I don't agree with Rabbit punching, these things are gonna happen, but at least its an illegal PUNCH, not a damn headbutt, which is more dangerous if anything, not to mention the ELBOWS wards was throwing, so yes Ward was cheating compared to Froch, but you can't see that?
Exactly if that's suppost to be the worst thing that happened to Froch, I would say he was never hurt, buzzed is a better description maybe even off balance a little.
Yeah i agree. His back legs comes off floor and that worrys him and he panics as Dirrell is coming in and backs up to ropes. He actually did well and it showed the warrior he is cos 4 seconds later he's back trying to knock Dirrell out.
