It will come down to Wards speed, pace and ability to fight better on the inside. Carl will keep it long for a round or two whilst Ward settles but once the battle lines are drawn Ward will pin himself to Frochs chest and plain outwork him.
Carl admires his work for too long and left it late vs old man Johnson. Against a guy wont wont fade in the late rounds but instead gains momentum I think Carl will be looking at the other guy getting his hands raised after 12.
Carl is the power puncher of the two and Ward wont be able to hurt him so it will be a frustrating night more than a painful night.
Be interesting to see how Carl reacts to getting headbutted. I think it might get ugly cuz Carl wont allow and opponent to take liberties.

Interesting one this, I don't buy Ward yet, yes he was impressive against Kessler, but also look at his last 3
Green (it's green)
Bika (bika roughed him up at times and found success, but Bika is a b level fighter and didn't have it to capitalise)
Abraham (Abraham actually OUTBOXED ward at the start of the fight and was getting through with those slow punches of his, then he remembered he was arthur abraham and turned back into a walking punchbag)
Now looking at this i can see froch having a chance, if abraham can have success on the outside, theres no reason froch can't, and froch throws volume unlike AA, he is also taller and longer reach as opposed to shorter with t rex arms like Abe, If Bika had success when it got rough, so can froch who is as teak tough and if froch could hang with johnson inside he can hang with ward.
don't get me wrong, Ward is the favorite and rightfully so, but Froch is no joke and he seems to save his best performances for must win fights, he has a chance here
