Now bore i go into this i want to do a few disclaimers first.
1) froch got beaten by 4 rounds imo, which is what i predicted, even though im a massive froch fan. He just wasnt use to inside game(even though he was more compatitive than khan was on the inside). He got easily beaten.
2) When i say blue print i mean a tactic that would make ward struggle, not necessarily lose the fight.
Anyway. Froch, bar round 5 whihc he won imo, got his tactics completely wrong. I still think he would have lost due to losing the inside war. But rounds 5, and 10-12 i felt he really had ward imo.
Its a very course way to beat wards as hes going to out box anyone in terms of skill. But the guy literally has poor power. For a guy that landed 100 more shots than froch, it was froch that finshed far stronger, wards face was busted up, and looked shattered.
To beat ward i think you have to accepot you are going to be tagged. WAhich is fine as he doesnt have knocked out power. EAVEN AT LOWER LEVELS HES struggled for power.
Froch should have started how he started with pascal. Also done more body shots as its an easier target, and saps energy in later rounds.
Froch did to many single jabs, which wasted valueble time and energy with littel results.
Froch is a better fighter, ward is a b etter boxer.Whether it was pride or not, froch barring the 5th round tried to outbox ward, which lead to one way traffic.
If this fight was done again and froch gets heavy sdparring with inside fighters(this could be applicable to kessler, bute etc) i honestly think the score cards would have been alot closer and genuwinely 115 113, or the other way round.
