Is the TKO the best bet for Froch with Ward's eye damage?

    Not a lot has been made of the damage to Ward's eye that caused the original Super Six final to be postponed.

    If Froch targets it, do you reckon he could get a stoppage or is Ward too good defensively for that?

    It's one of the things I asked Buncey on the final boxing podcast of 2011

    Ward's eye was cut in the first round Vs Edison Miranda via a Headbutt.

    Ward was able to win the fight via a shut out or 118 - 110 at most, his eye didnt bother him much.

    But there is a big difference between Froch and Miranda. I dont think Froch is that much of an accurate puncher to continously target that cut.

    "Would you bet 14k on Khan to win" was a better thread title than this one ;)

    Maybe - "Would you bet 14k on Froch to win by TKO cos of wards cut" ;)

    Dont think froch is fast or accurate enough to target the cut, besides ward has good movement. My money is on ward outright, although I think he will win a wide UD.
