I think Froch will be on the recieving end of a bad decision against Ward, Essentially I think that it will be a close fight but that the decision will be given to Ward, Froch will need a knockout to win this fight because Ward is the American hope. Froch will need to box early and look for the knockout later on in the fight, Its the only way I can see Froch winning.
Well the fact the fight won't be in his hometown will help this thread find an answer. Tbh if Froch is gonna win it's gonna be tight on scorecards if it gets that far...so it be open to interpretation.
