I said up there, Ward is under rated he is a very skilled fighter but if Froch pulls this one he is made, he can write his own cheques fighting Bute and Hopkins.Quote:

I just sometimes get bored watching him , ward is far from exciting , but i cant knock the guy too much he has proved he deserves to be where he is by beating everyone he has faced .Ido like Froch not just because im british , but he actually wants to fight the best and he has a unbelivable will to win which i admire greatly , just hopes he fights at distance like he did against Abraham behind his long jab and then unload power rights, this is a tough one to call for me , but am edging towards Froch on points only because he doesnt need to wory about Wards power .Just hope its a great fight .
As you said, at the end of the day, Froch and Ward deserved to be where they are. It'll be a tactical fight and I like Ward's chances.Quote:

Ward just has more in his repertoire than Froch and for the first time for Froch, he's facing someone with the desire that matches his. Would I be shocked if Froch eeked out a close decision by having the stronger punches and maybe staggering Ward a few times? No. To me, it's just more likely Ward takes it like 8-4/9-3. How happy is Fenster that the S6 is finally finishing?Quote:

It seems like most believe that SOG will dominate Froch, there was even some twit on this thread, who thinks, Ward will win every round, but I don't see that at all. When has anyone completely dominated Froch? Just sayin' Froch may lose the fight, but he'll make it competitive, this isn't going to be a piece of cake for Ward like some fans seem to think, and it's not out of the realm of possibility that Froch wins this fight.Quote:

Froch needs to fight his fight, keep the pressure on, and don't let Ward dictate the action.Quote:
