Eddie Hearn reported Brook fight 1am, Froch ring walk 2.30.. much earlier than usual for USA fights.
I can stay up for this (if booze intake can be controlled - odds against :rolleyes:).

I can't wait for this. This fight IS my weekend. All roads lead to this fight.
If froch loses Christmas will be ruined due to robbery
I have been waiting for this fight for a long time.
Froch has become one of my favourite fighters, but I think he's out of his depth here. Ward will butt, maul, and box (in that order) his was to a UD.
I hope Froch proves me wrong, he certainly has in the past.
I really want to watch this fight may listen to it on radio 5 and want Froch to win. If he does then he should be sports personality of the year. Why is Khan in it when Carl has done so much more.
Froch 167.5
Ward 168
A lot of folks thought that Peterson was out of his depth against Khan as well, but as it turned out he wasn't. I seriously don't get why Ward is regarded so highly or why Froch seems to be such a big underdog. I mean we are taking about Andre "can't crush a fucking grape" Ward here right?Quote:

I really don't see the fights with Kessler meaning jack shit.
Froch by SD, that's my story and i'm sticking to it. :-X
So let me get this straight, Ward who has 13 paltry KO's in 24 Pro fights and zero at the championship level, is going to knockout Froch, who's never been knocked out, in the 9th round? No offense, but are you a newbee to boxing? Nothing is impossible in boxing, but the only way Froch gets "stopped" is by cuts from Ward's headbutts.Quote:

Just got done with bct this will be the first live fight I've seen in 10 Weeks. Hopefully, Ward doesnt try to play it too cautious. If that happens its gonna be interesting , Froch can hit harder. I wanna see a ko either way.
I wouldn't be all that surprised to see Froch get stopped. I don't think it's likely, but if Jermaine Taylor can put you on your ass, then Andre Ward can probably keep you there if he hits you with enough headbutts right hands.
Except that saying Froch will be stopped is a lot more specific than saying Ward will lose... :rolleyes:Quote:

Yeah, I was just having fun with Mars. :). I think a Froch win is much more likely tan a Ward KO. But I think a Ward decision is much more likely than everything else put together.Quote:
