    All Froch has is a long jab and good chin.

    Ward has hand speed, combos (not just gangly slow flurries), all sorts of ****.

    If Froch is the fighter he is and claims to be he will get knocked out in this fight. The only way he does not knocked out is if he tries to stop winning and tries to survive.

    Why do you come to this conclusion? Why are you basically quoting near if not word for word what Wards trainer said in the interview?:huh

    That's exactly what's been said by Virgil.

    Ajose is doing well by the way. Hopefully he'll get a big one soon :good

    Might be clutching at straws but hopefully their styles clash to the point where Froch gets tangled up with Ward, and is able to break up Ward's rhythm by ruffling his feathers. I kind of think their styles could clash to, what with Froch being so tall and lanky and Ward who fights small and comes in with his head. You can easily see them getting tangled up when they go into an exchange imo

    Guys it is just not what Virgil Hill is saying it is something I have analysed for quite a while watching both guys. I like both chaps very much but Froch style and approach and his lack of respect for Ward will help do him in. He really thinks Ward cannot punch which is a mistake. There is a reason tough guys go into survival mode when they get in there with Ward who is a very adept fighter both on the inside and outside. Ward has pound for pound skills. He is not the type that can be bullied. Class and substance. If Ward fights technical then he will lose on points. If he thinks he is going to walk through Ward he will take a sustained beating and get knocked out.
