Im looking fprward to see Frochs physical strength against Ward. Look at Wards fight with Bika. Bika had good success against him by just fighting wild. Froch is a slightly more refined version. I think Ward will struggle with Froch who has good stamina and will still be strong in the last few rounds. I can see a very close decision either way but hope Froch wins. No one enjoys watching Ward smother opponents. Hatton got moaned at about it in his fights but with Ward its skillfull!

I dont know why refs let it go on. Ok let the action continue but no effective punches can be thrown from a clinch anyway! It comes to something when part of your game plan is to have to hold. Froch doesnt mind taking a shot to give one and wont be intimidated as some were to let his hands go against Ward.
