    Definitely Froch/Ward final with Ward winning.

    Froch will put up a decent fight but he will no have answer for Ward's great inside game. If it was just a boxing match, i would still favor Ward but only slightly but when you consider the inside game difference, Ward wins.

    Once we get some locations on these fights we can say who will win

    I think Froch beats Johnson in an entertaining fight with both guys landing some big shots. I think Ward beats Abraham but I don't think it'll be as easy as most seem to. He should find a way to win but I think he'll have to come through some rough moments.

    Firstly, the Ward-Froch final has to be in a neutral venue. I'm fine with it being in America but it can't be in Oakland, where Froch has no chance of winning a decision. Ward should be too much for Carl but Froch always performs better in the ring than he does on paper. I'm not ready to write off his chances of beating Ward.

    It's all moot - based on what's happened up to this point, I'd be willing to bet money that Abraham pulls out before the next round. At this point, I think it's Ward's tournament to lose though.

    I can't share your enthusiasm for this billy goat.

    The sheer ****in' irony of him whinging about Bika's use of the head !

    He's largely untested against serious competition.

    He took a past-best eye-problemed Kessler by surprise with his tactics.

    Other than that, he has a thin resume.

    Green ?

    Bika ? ( who took at least four rounds off him. Shows the importance of judging to his career)

    Miranda ?



    He may very well win this tournament, but he hasn't impressed me much so far, other than to demonstrate that he could give both BHop and Evander some instruction in the darker side of the game.

    SOG ?

    If the **** mentions his Lord and personal saviour one more time, I'll consider going to Oakland and whackiing his sorry, sanctimonious, foul-mongering ass.:yep




    Conventional wisdom seems to be that AA has been exposed.

    Could be so.

    Maybe even probably.

    But he did beat Taylor, even before he landed the KO shot.

    And he fought eight rounds against a big puncher while dealing with a badly broken jaw.

    And I feel he would very possibly have gotten to the baseball slider Dirrell, if he had had a little more discipline.

    That Dirrell, so far ahead on the scorecards and so close to the end, felt the need to pull such a stunt tells me he felt Artur was closing in.

    Admittedly, he had a ****in' horrendous night against Froch.

    He expected at some point, Froch would mix it up with him and that never happened.

    Froch admitted he was sorely tempted but McCracken was yelling from the corner (Is that allowed ?) to avoid engaging him.

    So, quite possibly, that was all he had. He certainly didn't show any signs of a plan B.

    But why would he ? Plan A had always worked for him before.

    There's some chance he can go home, look at the tapes and make the necessary modifications. As I've already said, Ward is quite good, but, IMO, somewhat overrated.

    I'd like to see their meeting on neutral territory with a Mexican, a Canadian and a Thai judge.

    Perhaps it will make no difference.


    He could well be passe and on the fast track to irrelevance, but I think it's somewhat premature to pen his obituary.

    I picked the first option.

    Abraham will be neutralized/shut down from the outside by Ward, or beat up and mauled on the inside.

    Same will happen to Froch, unless his outboxing suddenly improves by miles.
