somwhere between 8-4 rounds or 9-3 rounds in favor of ward. ward will lose the first two rounds trying to figure out froch, then probably lose a round in the middle where ward is just taking one of those breather rounds.
i have - 75% Ward by decision 20% Froch by KO 5% Ward by KO only if Ward decides to cross the line and risk to KO when he has Froch tired and hurt
Right now i think Ward would take the decision. But if he wants any respect for winning the S6 he should get on a plane and fight in England this time, nothing else seems fair imo.
Ward has all his fights in his own territory with his judges and referees. It's time Ward fought somewhere else. Froch will have to knock Ward out to get a split decision! Ward cheats. Why does Ward get everything his way? The others have to travel thousands of miles, while Ward stays at home. Ward is afraid to fight away from home. Ward should grow up................
I like Froch, but I would like Andre to win. Just want to kill the 'undefeated guys gets his first loss in 2011' thing. Andre Ward TKO 9 Froch.
Well i will root for Froch. Ward coming as always with his 'style'. If Froch can win theres only way & thats the not boxing, fighting.
Everyone knew who it would be in the SS finals. No surprise here. Likewise, everyone knows that Ward will easily defeat Froch. In this case, as well as all others, with the exception of freak accidents, the better boxer always prevails. Everyone here knows that Ward will box circles around "hands-at-his waist with poor reflexes" Froch. As I see it, Froch has a 1/10 chance at defeating Ward, or you could substitute; It would be a pink moon before Froch gets a win over the superior skilled Ward.
^^^^^THIS. That's why I see a potential KO for Ward. Currently nobody hits hooks to the body better than Ward IMO. And there is NO granite in the word kidney-shot.
I actually am really excited for this one, more so than haye v Klitschko. I think it will be close, Ive become a big fan of Froch lately, but theres no doubting Ward is favoured, but I think Froch has a good shout in this, every time he fights we see a different side to him, and he can hit pretty hard. I am adament that there is no way Ward is TKOing/KOing Froch, he will always fire back, and his recovery rate is top notch. Seriously guys, if you any of you think Ward is going to stop Froch you are way wrong, go check up on his previous fights. He has NEVER been in serious trouble, even when dropped against Taylor. Watch Froch vs Pascal.
Ward by decision to the unified WBA/WBC SMW. But I agree, more props if he beats Froch either in a neutral country or at Nottingham. But more likely, it will be in Vegas or NYC at the Garden.
