Froch vs. Ward - Saturday fight/chat thread

[erics44]

Ward has a suspect chin and his best win was against Kessler, a fight he won with his head

also by the interview given on boxnation by kessler the ward camp was a bit naughty in the build up

all his other big wins his opponents have been soundly beaten by other fighters and in a much ore convincing mannor (Bika, Abraham, Green)

He has spent the whole of the supersix fighting at home, 2 of those fights in his home town

he has also had a much easier route to the final than froch

Ward is overrated

Froch by KO

[Mattyhitman]

Whoever loses this fight, will they be vilified and courted around the forum as a bum that should never of been fighting in the tournament in the first place ? I wonder....


Anywho, I see Ward taking the fight, but would love to see Carl take it to him and win. Froch gets hit far to easy for my liking, but does have great heart and some sound skills so hopefully he will pull it out.

I agree with most of what you're saying eric, Ward headbutted, fouled his way to win over Kessler in yet another fight in his hometown. Ward has also had a much easier route to the final than Froch, and I do believe he's a tad overrated. What I don't agree with is Froch winning by KO, that just isn't very likely, although i'd love seeing it. Realistically, if Froch wins at all it will be by a close, somewhat controversial decision, probably a SD.
BTW, I have nothing but disdain for Ward, but he is good at that shit that he does, it wins him fights, so this will be a tough fight for Carl.

Ward was out on his feet against Bika so I think a KO is a possibility

I have just wrote a 3,500 word article on Froch's progression in the super six and my views on the Ward fight. Hopefully it will be on the main site in time for the fight, Ill post it as soon as its on the website.

Got quite a lot of my views about the fight on it, there was so much to talk about. So excited for the fight though, really hope Froch can do it.

Looking forward to it, Tam.

Unless I'm mistaken, the match is for the Ring Magazine Belt as well, right? Meaning, it is for the lineal championship at super middleweight. It's a big deal for the division.

[Dropanuke]

Here are the facts.
If ward comes forward like against Kessler then ward will be ktfo in 4 as he will walk on to uppercuts.
If he boxes on the back foot froch will march him down like grass as froch is harder tougher than haggler and has more stamina and power.
If froch catches ward with any shots that Johnson took then ward is fucked!!
A ward fan would be foolish to disagree

[NUCLEAR BULL]

i think this fight may suprise people with how good it will be. Both guys like to make it ugly and know the other does likewise, watch for headbutt, elbows, holding and hitting.....that aside ward has very good speed and movement and froch is strong and brave

[LobowolfXXX]

This thread is amazing to me.

Its going to be a good fight thats for sure..


Where is everyone watching later? Any decent reliable links?

What kind of dumb-ass question is that?

How come FROCH's baby hair is blonde

It happens sometimes. My Mum was dark blonde as a kid and it gradually turned darker over the years. People with blue eyes are a bit weird.

last round

ward struggled badly with bika and out of all wards opponents so far you could mosly liken froch to bika in the way that they are both rough rugged tough men who can mix it and live with the heads and elbows

froch is a lot better than bika tho

i honestly dont understand why ward is so much the favourite, his one shinning result was against kessler and in that fight all of the damage was done by the head

which other fight have we seen this superstar that everyone raves about?
