Did ward think froch was tough as fuck half way through?
Was froch thinking of doing gardening whilst marching forward?
What do you think froch was thinking around round 6,7,8? And vice versa
Only got round to watching that fight a month or two after it happened, Saw highlight's and read a few bit's in forum's about this fight (too busy sometimes to sit n watch fight's) I tend to catch up on youtube, anyway i set a bit of time aside to watch it...

I was expecting some sensational schooling like a i.e hopkins vs pavlik or calzaghe vs lacy type fight going on what i have read in forum's etc however i was suprised to see it was far from it!

A clear UD for ward no doubt but it certainly was no whitewash, all i saw was the younger/faster man content to rack up another points win, what struck me was that froch actually proved to be the fitter man as ward was f***ed towards the latter part of the fight (he was timewatching and holding to buy time) froch is a man of steel, crazy stamina!

Ward started well, carl began to get back into the fight midway and the latter half was fairly even with froch going for broke and ward sitting back on his laurels..

Ward seem's to switch off and tire a little in the latter part of fight's (he did it vs bika too).

Ward is very good with upright, european style fighter's (predictable guy's like kessler) but how would he cope with the serious workrate or awkward angle's that i.e a calzaghe would pose!

One could argue that the wear n tear of froch's previous escapades and his style of fighting played a part in this fight not to mention he is mid 30's now and fight's worldwide! The froch that beat pascal would have maybe given ward an even tougher time imo....that being said i think ward's speed and physicality would always make me favour him over froch.

I have so much respect for froch it's unreal. So happy when he won his 3rd belt.
