Yeah thats right, I said it. I know theres plenty of great matchups from now till then but I cant wait till Ward kills Froch. I'm sorry guys but I dont see anything great about Froch. fool keeps his hands low all the time, making his defense garbage. Doesnt have head movement or good footwork, the only thing he has is decent power. No way He beats Ward, I just dont see it. Ward has superior speed, accuracy,skills,defense, how is Froch to beat him? Lucky punch? Now I do say this is the tourney final it should be (There were in it since the start of it) I only wish Kessler didnt get hurt because the rematch would've been a better fight then Ward-Froch. I just hope it lands in Vegas so I can go and see my boy win the tourney and become the #1 SMW!! I flew to Oakland just to see him fight Kessler so I've been rolling with him ever since. What you guys think? and If you think Froch has a chance please put how you think hes gonna do it because I dont see it. I dont gambale often but this is the fight I put $3000 on Ward
Ward's jaw is suspect, Froch's is solid, and that means that while Ward is a completely superior boxer and on paper should win, he could easily get those whiskers whacked and lose ugly.
Wards chin is supsect? well maybe I havent seen it because his defense is preety good. If somehow Ward gets upset then it wont be ugly, it would be a very very close fight
He got dropped by Darnell Boone and got rocked by Kenny Kost in his second fight. I'm not sure he's ready to go on a Top 10 GJ list, but he certainly doesn't have a granite chin.
Froch as grown on me since this tourney began. Although I believe that he lost to Dirrell in the opening round he's definitely gotten a new fan and I'm looking forward to Ward / Froch even though I think it's going to be a fairly ugly fight.
Im going for a Froch SD/Close UD, the way I see it, Froch will walk through everything Ward throws, he will go in wear and tear style, try to break Ward down, Froch also hits hard, I can see him going to the body often and early, then mixing it up alot more as the fight goes on. I think Froch's punchs that land WILL do more damage than Ward's, and it will utimately slow him down, Froch comes on stronger towards the end of the fight. Ward has the skills to beat Froch, but I think Froch wants it more and it would take a freight train to stop him winning. Dont say Froch hasn't got a chance cos you know thats just not true.
for me wards the favorite but but froch has a chance. ward didn't dominate bika like he should of, and froch can use the same rough tactics in the fight. use his stregnth and power to out muscle ward. froch works hard for 12 rounds and throws plenty of shots so ward will have to be on his toes through out the whole fight. its a close decision win for ward. not a dominant win as u predict.
I agree performance wise in this tournament this surely has to either be a Ward wide UD or a big upset!
Ward is a highly skilled fighter, what he lacks in power he more than makes it up in ring generalship. i can see him winning by UD or late stop
