I agree. It will be a closer fight than the Abraham was or the Green fight. I actually thought the Bika fight was competitive for a bit. Ward just has more in his repertoire than Froch and for the first time for Froch, he's facing someone with the desire that matches his. Would I be shocked if Froch eeked out a close decision by having the stronger punches and maybe staggering Ward a few times? No. To me, it's just more likely Ward takes it like 8-4/9-3. How happy is Fenster that the S6 is finally finishing?
I think the S6 has been great for matching fighters tough. It makes "champions" like Bute look really weak when you consider the S6 competitors schedules.

I only ever said it wouldn't work as planned. I was proved right when Taylor retired after the first fight. Let alone other fighters being replaced, rows about home advantage, arguments about money, injuries delaying bouts, promoter/fighter fall-outs etc.

Just about every reason I gave for why it wouldn't work happened.
