Froch vs. Ward - Saturday fight/chat thread

[Beanz]

The Cobra's reach advantage could be crucial. Ward I think expects Froch to bring it on early and go toe to toe. Froch lighter weight seems to indicate a different approach. I think McCracken instructs Carl to use his jab early in establishing a points advantage and to stop Ward from leading head first and cutting Froch. Second half of the fight as Ward slows then The Cobra strikes. Froch's not got as fast hands as Ward but throws from good unexpected angles. In close Frochs uppercuts could discourage Andre and after softening him up and slowing him down I think Froch Stops Ward late.

If this starts out as a jabbing war, it's not going to be Froch establishing a points advantage.

Froch isn't going to out-slick or out-box Ward, that's not his game. Ward likes to control/dictate the action, that's not something Carl can't afford to let him do. Froch needs to fight smart, but make a war of it, he's taller than Ward and got the edge in reach as well as power, make full use of it.

Both fighters look great.

I'm torn between getting up/staying up to watch it, and just going to bed and watching tomorrow. Now that I don't have sky though, if I don't watch fights at the time i usually can't be bothered to watch once I know the result.

I'm reckoning Froch takes it narrowly, 114-111, with Ward getting knocked down.
