WARD vs FROCH!!! who wins and why?

[J_C]

Yes Abraham was a slight favourite even with the British bookies for the Froch fight. 8/11 kind of odds he was. I also admit although pretty much a pick em, at that point in time pre fight I probably was edging towards an Abraham win.

Regarding the threads original question though, this match up does point toward a Ward Pts win. I thought Dirrell outpointed Froch (as did the majority) and Taylor would have outpointed him if it had gone the distance. If you had Froch beating Direll then ok but he still struggled bigtime with him. Dirrell and Taylor are both slick type boxers and Ward can do similar to them but is also better at mixing it. I think Froch is at his best when theres a clear fightplan to carry out (eg.Abraham, Johnson) but its hard to do that clear of a plan for Ward. Im a Froch fan and I hope he wins for sure but common sense points towards Ward winning more rounds than Froch, be it 7 or be it 9 or whatever. I wouldnt be a jot surprised should Froch make it real close and Ward gets a much disputed win however.
