it was a harder fight then would seem, he had to keep out of harms way while geing inside and out the whole fight as he knew froch can land big.....he fought a very good fight and is rightly the number 1 super mid in the world now

The fight went as I thought it would bar the fact that Ward was a little frazzled by the end. I figured he'd be in complete control by the championship rounds, as we all know what way Froch fights when he is behind on the scorecards and so I thought that Ward ward have him all figured out but then I guess that is true testament to Froch as an irresistible force once he his fitness comes into play. I mean it's almost Marciano like, how he can just commit to power punching and walk through shots like that round after round.
However the main thing that upset Forch was Wards ability to bully Froch back to the ropes when ever he wanted to. That really messed Froch up. Although Ward did a lot of things right that night, that was really the only thing Ward did that actually stopped Froch being Froch. (if that makes sense?)

The only time the fight was anywhere near tough for Ward was maybe the last 3 rounds when Froch knew he needed the knockout to win and was really pushing forward. Other than that it was a great display from Ward. His skill level is up there with the best in the sport.

No not really. He didn't accelerate his obvious advantages and lead late and can be blamed for settling but had invested enough to have that. Froch had a couple of combos late that gave him some pause but I didn't see Ward forced into tough.

It was about as one sided a fight as I've seen. I don't know what fight two of the judges were watching - 115 to 113? You've got be kidding. I struggled to give Froch anything at all.
I hadn't seen Froch fight for a long time prior to last night and I couldn't believe how bad he was. How someone as stiff, predictable and frankly amateurish as him has got anywhere near a world title genuinely baffles me. Says it all about the state of the division. The fact that he was calling out Calzaghe a while back is laughable.
As for Ward, sure he looked pretty good, but I didn't see anything to get too excited about.

The fight was one sided. I dont know what some these guys were watching.
someone even mentioned that froch was dominating for a few rounds. Lol he never did. Froch couldnt put together any offense.
Ward had his way and it was an easy victory.
