Rewatching Ward-Froch. Amazing how completely SOG schooled him.

    What were your scorecards? It's tough to find many rounds to give Froch.

    2 rds max.

    That left hook just worked for ward like a beauty.

    He couldnt miss with it. If he did Froch would apologise.

    ward was tiring, if it was a 15 rounder, ward would have collapsed just like jermain taylor.

    That is the true definition of the term "one sided." Credit Froch for continuing to press for the win rather than shelling up and waiting for the final bell.

    Imagine Bute trying to fight Froch with one hand.

    His tiring late rounds is perfectly justifiable.

    Ward did what he was expected to against a slow ponderous plodder. Calzaghe would have won the fight far more emphatically

    froch may have won the 11th and that's about it, and if you view the round you can see that ward sort of hit a wall and became sloppy as a result. he got a second wind during the interim and gutted out the final round imo, but yes, a strong case can be made for ward making a clean sweep of all the rounds in that bout.

    some people are viewing froch's recent fights and supposing that he may be able to put up a good fight and possibly even beat ward in a rematch. I simply do not see it. stylistically, froch hasn't progressed. he's still the same crude but effective boxer and extremely tough man, whereas, ward has tightened up his game. nevertheless, froch, a guy that ward whitewashed, may be ward's toughest challenge at 168.

    Froch isn't a plodder. He has decent footspeed and movement.

    You wouldn't know since you're used to watching meatheads in armbars pressed against a cage!
