Ward vs Froch....Atlantic city

[MMASUX]

So it looks like the fight will be in Atlantic city NJ.

Andre Ward-Carl Froch Super Six final set for Atlantic City - ESPN

[Tam Seddon]

I can't wait for this one, has the potential to be a good contest. I really hope Froch can do it, he's put in some much hard work and has beaten some great fighters along the way. He does deserve to be in this final, he's facing a tough fighter in Ward and it won't be easy for Froch. I can see why carl is the underdog in many peoples eyes, but Froch has the ability to adapt to different fighting styles and I think that what will make this interesting. Both men offer a lot to the table in terms of their styles and I think it's going to be a case of who wants it more. Both man have the potential to win the fight, just hope Froch can win this and fight Kessler again.

In AC, it will be a very neutral ground. Actually, because Froch's fans travel (they came to the Taylor fight I was at), he may have more fans than Ward there.

[Mars_ax]

That beats having the fight in Los Angeles, I imagine Froch will have as many fans as Ward does in Atlantic City.

I picture this being a ugly fight that can go either way, but i'll be pulling for Froch.

That's going to be one of those "It's gonna be fun nights."

If it's Jersey isn't it likely Steve Smoger gets this one? I suspect both fighters would be comfortable with him and they both seem to be "just let me fight" kind of guys.

I suspect Ward is just a little too skilled in too many areas.

My guess is many close rounds but an 8-4, 7-5, kind of thing for Ward.

This is Ring 1 and 2 right? So we'll have a Ring, and in my view, legit champion LOVE THAT!

I agree, a legit champ. With so many BS belts and champions this will be one of the few legit champions out there. I expect a very tatical fight with Ward winning a UD.

To be honest. I can't see Froch winning a round, let alone the fight. I can see and 120-108 scorecard for all three judges scorecards. It's gonna be a total and utter shut out for ward.

[Taffturner]

Ward is slick but froch has the power and work rate to trouble any one, i think frochs underated and doesnt get the credit he deserves, frochs been in with tough top class fighters for his last 6 or so fights now and only kesslers beat him which was close decsion, i think froch has a genuine chance of winning this fight! and will giv a really good account of himself even if he does get beat

[armyash]

If the Froch who fought Johnson shows up he will find it very tough. I thought Froch clearly beat Johnson but he did not look that good.

right now i'm thinking Ward UD but plenty of time to think about the fight in depth and change my mind. Froch needs to be in the mindset that he needs to lay it all on the line and rip the titles from ward. He aint going to win a boxing match, the way he carries his arms and still hasn't been knocked out amazes me. People have been criticizing him for it since his early pro days so he isn't going to change it anytime soon.

Would love to see Froch get the victory. I love how he has no problem travelling and hasn't waited until the end of his career to go for the big names, his intentions have been known since before he was British champ, he's tough as nails, loves a fight and is cocky - great combination!

Will froch work rate and stamina overwhelm Amy ward that turns up Ward is easier to hit that dirrell

[Mar]

Fight could be on cybertron for all it matters. Love carl, but ward will have no problems boxing him if not fighting him and if that don't work mauling him.

[Dropanuke]

What if the fight took place on veridian 5??

[Dropanuke]

Seriously though, froch isn't dumb like Abraham and Allen green or bika as ward can't smother froch as froch will keep away and out range ward

[erics44]

Froch by KO

I agree. It will be a closer fight than the Abraham was or the Green fight. I actually thought the Bika fight was competitive for a bit. 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?
