How did many rounds did you give to Froch against Ward? Can Froch beat him?

Discussion in 'British Boxing Forum' started by Nafflad26, May 17, 2013.


  1. I can't remember exactly but maybe 3 which includes 2 of the last 3

    Carl's problem which we be the same challenge again is that the rounds he won were exceptionally hard work for froch,physically so tough whereas ward can win rounds without expending too much.in the previous fight when ward wanting to call the shots he did

    I've read Carl say recently ward doesn't hit hard,I think he is rewriting history as the biggest surprise for me was ward hurting Carl on a number of occasions and out manning him.

    This hurt froch more than anything and makes a rematch such a tough ask,if ward the boxer also has more strength and inside game what can Carl do

    Froch is man enough to take this fight again but If he does it will take a tactical master stroke from McCracken to get Carl in the fight

    Would be frochs defining moment and a genuine top 10 all time British win if he could do it

    Two.

    He's just not good enough on the inside to deal with Ward.

    Ward did not put a clinic on against Froch at all. Just rewatched.
    Ward looked more composed than Froch, which gives a better impression of control, but try watching the fight without any commentary or sound, and you can see why the judges watched a close fight.
    Ward was leaning and holding which isnt a clinic, like many would like to dream it was. Ward definately didnt close the show.

    Rewatched and scored.


    Round 1 . Even round
    Round 2 . Ward
    Round 3 . Even
    Round 4 . Ward, full of holding and leaning
    Round 5 . Froch, clinical finish to the round
    Round 6 . Ward, close round
    Round 7 . Ward, full of holding and leaning
    Round 8 . Ward, full of holding and leaning
    Round 9 . Froch, tough round to call
    Round 10. Ward, tough round to call
    Round 11. Froch, but Ward holding and leaning
    Round 12. Froch

    A close win to Ward but not a clinic,

    A SMW clinic was Jones/Toney, Calzaghe/Lacy, Kessler/Andrade, etc

    Ward seemed to be struggling at the end, as he did against Bika and Froch is an old SMW.


    4 rounds to Froch with 2 even and 6 rounds to Ward

    116/114 Ward

    :nut. There's marginal bias, and then there's taking the peas.

    What a ridiculous comment backed up by absolutely nothing other than the fact that you base your opinions based on commentary and what others say. Basically a yes man.

    1. I scored the 1st round even, and of the 3 official judges it was 2/1 for Ward which showed that the round could be viewed either way
    2. 2nd round I scored to Ward, same as all 3 judges
    3. I scored even, and of the 3 official judges it was 2/1 for Froch which showed that the round could be viewed either way
    4. I scored for Ward and of the 3 official judges it was 2/1 for Ward
    5. I scored for Froch which all of the official judges did
    6. I scored for Ward which all of the official judges did
    7. I scored for Ward which all of the official judges did
    8. I scored for Ward which all of the official judges did
    9. I scored for Froch and of the 3 official judges it was 2/1 for Ward which showed that the round could be viewed either way
    10. I scored for Ward and of the 3 official judges it was 2/1 for Ward which showed that the round could be viewed either way
    11. I scored for Froch and of the 3 official judges it was 2/1 for Froch which showed that the round could be viewed either way
    12. I scored for Froch and of the 3 official judges it was 2/1 for Ward which showed that the round could be viewed either way

    Lets see your scorecard and justification, then we can have a real chuckle :yep at a yes man

    Your british your biased to Froch
    Anyone who knows how to score a fight will know it was not close, Froch got schooled
    My scorecard I gave Froch 1 round, he probaby coulda had 3 maximum
    If Froch was american you woulda had him winning
    And don't mention the judges scorecards they were terrible

    Can't remember how many rounds I gave to Froch but it was a dominant display by Ward except for the last few rounds. Remember being a bit stunned by two of the score cards having it closer than it felt like it was.

    What I will say for Froch is that it would've actually been an interesting 15 rounder! Ward showed unbelievable core strength to boss Froch around for the most part but he definitely looked like he'd shot his bolt way before the end, with the last few rounds being Froch's best of the whole fight. Gotta give Froch credit for that after the way the fight had gone for the most part, and he was actually looking the physically stronger and fresher at the end.

    Scored 2, maybe 3 for Froch. Certainly no 'master class' by Ward, but a near-schooling still. I'm mild on Ward, and you can count me as one American who'd really like him to fight abroad even if just a few times...at least Canada, dammit! :lol: (Btw, been to Japan/SK & Mexico myself (no short holidays, many months each), planning much more)

    :patsch Yeah lolbailey, when you cant post a scorecard, justify your opinion or decide how many rounds you gave to Froch :nut. If you think you gave him 3 that is only 1 different to what I gave him :lol:.
    Real thing that stands out here is that you are on the British forum trying to defend the fact that Ward couldnt completely dominate an old slow past best SMW who was coming off a Mdec over an old SMW journeyman

    He asked you for a scorecard numbnuts. If you're going to slate his then at least have the decency to show us how you had it. If you haven't even scored the fight you're probably best piping down.
