    roflmao i dont think any judge has the heart to rob that poor man not 1 more time in life.

    Ward better recongsider his ruff and tumble approach he been using lately get the cardio up and get on his bicycle if he can punch going backwards without tiring he got up single shots and tie up when he gets on the ropes avoid letting glen get inside without a tie up, shoot a right tie up, or shoot the hook spin to the left, or shoot the jab hold throw some dirty punches and let the ref break you.

    but if he beats glenn on the inside and not the out i will have a new respect for this ward guy. I only seen him fight once against bika who i have alot of respect for a very rugged guy. I seen highlights of allen green and ward.

    judging from his facial expessions and the wincing when bika attcked on the inside Im %100 certain his game insnt the inside but again I only seen him fight once he reactions give me the impression that thats not what he does best and this is new territory but still have the potential to master but the glen johnson fight isnt the fight for new territory

    what do yall think? i dont know much about ward just my judgement calls form what i saw against bika

    Johnson is the naturally bigger, stronger man, and he is very much accustomed to trading shots with light heavyweights. He is capable of maintaining effective pressure against Froch for long periods.

    Glen likes to hold a nice high guard almost like a philly shell. Froch holds the left low, and uses an upward jab. Glen will quite naturally be in an excellent postion to come over the top of Froch's jabs with counter rights.

    In order to land less than 50% of your left hooks against Carl Froch you would have to either practice missing, or turn yourself into Arthur Abraham. Glen has an above average Left hook.

    Froch does a good job of defending against looping punches. He does not defend well against nice straight punches.

    Froch seems to be a bit of a slow starter. Glen is more than capable of jumping on your ass right at the opening bell.

    These are the things I would focus on if I were training The Road Warrior for this fight. Go in prepared to make it a war with the 1-2, the 3-2, the lead left hook, and the lead right nice and sharp, and let it all hang out right out of the gate.

    I like your analysis as it's factual and thorough. However, i can't help but feel none of it will matter in regards to johnson winning or even knocking froch out. If both froch and johnson are evenly matched they yes i agree completely with your breakdown. But I just can't elude from the fact that froch may well be presently a class above johnson due to always being a class above and the age factor..

    I have heard some crazy **** in my time but this takes the biscuit.

    Carl Froch will UD Johnson, Johnson hasn't got the pop to bother Froch.

    Johnson is no KO artist alan green is just bad and rjj was way past his best.

    I agree on Froch-Ward for the final, and I can't help myself thinking that Froch is very lucky that Kessler and Dirrell are out of the tournament. He would have lost to any of them in semi-final. It's like if he had won the lottery.

    You ****ing people are truly amazing....

    If you can watch a mentally dejected version of AA be beaten by a Froch jab and come out impressed when it's over theres nothing I can say except that you have **** poor taste.

    Carl Froch isn't half the fighter Glen Johnson is. End of story.

    This will be either a landslide victory for Johnson or a KO late in the fight.

    How anybody else on here can not see that is mind boggling.

    Just rewatched Froch-AA and wow you dumb ****s are in for a surprise...

    Really a great question to ask is
    "Who won and looked the shittier of the two? Ward or Froch?"

    Both looked like horrible excuses for fighters.

    Now ask yourself "How did Glen Johnson look in his last fight?"

    The old man looked brand ****ing new. Sure he beat Green but before the fight nobody gave Glen a chance. And here we are again. Nobody thinks Glenn can take Froch..which really makes me laugh everytime I see it. Especially when you consider how both performed...
    I. Can't. Wait.

    While I'm at it if you ****ers think that **** poor performance by Ward gets him past Johnson you're taking a big ****.

    I think Froch's win over Abraham was more of a testament to how over rated Abraham was than a testament to how good Froch is. Although all these mother****ers on ESB are quick to critisize when a guy is wrong, only MancMexican gave me my props for having AA pegged FOR YEARS!!!!

    I always worry about Glen Johnson getting old over night. That does happen. If it does not happen to Glen, he will give Froch one hell of a fight, but I expect the younger man to score a decision, possibley a controversial one.

    If he would have traded with Abraham he woulda looked like the guy in your avatar. Now correct me if im wrong but that didnt do anything for PWs career now did it.

    Abraham would still **** Pavlik. Pavlik is not near slick enough or smart enough or sober enough to not get hit by Abraham and he has serious power.

    Hey come the **** on man.
    Froch IS a smart fighter. He just looks like he's half shitfaced most of the time(probably tripped over his own feet alot as a kid)
    Froch could've finished Abraham THE ENTIRE ****ING FIGHT!!!

    The main reason I guess I'm so ****ing pissed is Froch didn't and he could've. He had all ****ing night.

    Even if Froch doesnt have the power to knock him unconcious he could've stopped AA at least by the 8th round. When Froch did get AA on the ropes he would open up and hit nothing but ****ing AIR!!
