    Default Carl froch's new found maturity...can he win the tourney?

    Now everyone here knows that Wacko's a fan of Arthur Abraham...& that I have never liked Froch...but this past weekend when I was layed up on the couch watching the main even after being medicated for ruptured/compressed discs & getting ready for back surgery...I was pleasantly surprised.

    Trust me...I hate it that my guy Arthur lost...but Froch showed out in Wacko's Humble Opinion.

    What the F happened here?!?!

    The guy looked great, patient, focused, & very spot picky. I was impressed...couple that with the fact that his other corner man (woman) is hot as fried pickles...& this guy could be a candidate for the winner of the tourney.

    Really...Froch did well & took the shots just was well as he gave.

    I am always devoted to my fighter & Abraham is my fighter...but Froch did very very well against my guy & i was pleasantly surprised. They all say that Abraham was lacadasial...but I don't think that it'd mattered.

    Froch done goot!!!

    So...is is possible for Froch to win it? Talk to me peeps...talk to me.

    Suffering succotash!!!

    It's WackOff... Holy BBQ'D Horses Ass Batman it's really him.

    I'm on the same boat as you.
    I liked AA more then Froch but I've always said that AA was beatable and he would be beat by a boxer. Someone who would move and box because he stands around for way to long and just waits.

    I agree if Froch can keep it together and keep up this style and maturity me finks he gives Ward one helluva fight.

    Great to see ya' around Wacks miss ya' my man...

    I think he has the potential to do so. This was the first fight at the top where you could see Froch sticking with the gameplan and thinking his way through it. It was a remarkably controlled performance. It shows that Froch can not only bang, but box in his own somewhat unorthodox way.

    I think if he can get through Johnson, then the next important step is to get Ward out of his hometown. Froch should not go there as everything will be stacked against him and Ward will get away with murder. On a level playing field, I think Froch can bust Ward up over the long haul. But it needs to somewhere where rough house tactics and outright cheating are penalised. Ward gets away with far too much and it's almost like Showtime are trying to grant him the tournament.

    For me he's def come from under the radar but after last weekend a HUGE step back and ....wtf moment was due. He really has done all you could ask from a fighter. Style is not pretty but perversely effective and has sparks of excitement created by some lapses.

    Hands low,cocky as fook,flat footed but moves enough and mentally has grown in leaps. Can bang and has an all around size-span factor. Love Johnson to death but can see Froch frustrating him greatly on inside,move out and repeat. Think Wards willingness to come in and force self could be bad vs Froch as well. Has his own cheering section too. Crap, goodluck on the back ordeal Wacks. Enjoy the meds while they last...quick recovery.

    Froch was very impressive against Abraham, but I think he comes up short against Ward.

    I agree with this. Froch will look similar to what he looked like against Dirrell, except Ward will land more. Imo anyway. I hope i'm wrong. Would love to see Froch win the tourney.

    I think all of the remainder of the matches should be in neutral terratory. It's just better.

    I think Froch can win it, especially if they can get them both done quickly.

    He could beat Ward, he'd need to box again, but not overbox and try and out do Ward. He could take his shots but with picking his spots better he could do damage. He's a heavy hitter.
