ward will outbox froch easy... he might even knock froch down.
Outbox, yes... put him on the canvas, no... Miranda has been down at least 7 times in his career and Ward didn't even get close to knocking him down. Froch has been down once, against Taylor. Taylor's not that heavy handed, but at this point you'd have to say he hits harder than Ward.
I was really impressed by Ward for most of the fight, he has some skills. When he was trading in the first couple rounds he was fluid, and showed a lot of variety in his game. The last couple rounds were boring, but he's more exciting than P. Will
It's hard to say because Froch's gameplan against Taylor might have been to get outboxed for the first 7/8 rounds. Then Froch stepped up and won the later rounds and got the KO in the last.
Froch isn't a great boxer. But it would be interesting to see him against a different opponent who doesn't have stamina issues.
True True...And a fight i will watch 4 sure...
Ward has the Shotime machine backing him, but I don't see the titleholders won't wanting to fight this guy. He's winning lopsided decisions which and he's boring as shit in the process. Paul Williams wins lopsided decisions and people think he's boring, Ward is on another level.
Can't wait until Dirrell takes him out of the picture.
Would anyone else be salivating at the mouth for a Ward-Dirrell matchup!!!!! :boxing:
Not Yet, in a couple of years when they both have belts hell yeah...
Yeah, I'm a fan.
But I'm not the type of fan who thinks Froch can beat everybody at 168. But I do think that he can beat Ward. Miranda and Froch are both 1-dimensional. But Froch actually works the body, doesn't throw wild shots that nearly leads to him falling over...
Can't remember which round it was but Miranda threw a shot and nearly fell over sideways.
Plus Froch has better stamina and work-rate then Miranda.
Im not sure Guv i aint seen enough of froch really to comment..
I saw that one fight against Taylor and he was getting outboxed a little in there..
From what i saw of Ward and what i saw of Froch i'd say Ward right now but it would be a interesting fight
You're right atleast Froch knows how to throw more punches then just a hard right... Terrible... That is the only weapon Miranda has...
Naw, give him credit Miranda has a mean ass headbutt too. One of the best Ive seen since Holyfield.
Ward couldn't even knockdown or stop a shot Miranda
Dude is nothing special, he would get KTFO by Froch
Just cause he didn't KO someone doesn't mean that he's no good. I think the boy is special. How many times did the guy get hit tonight. And it's not that Miranda was "shot". Every opponent of Ward ends up looking this confused. You seen him fight Ravelo or Rubin Williams? Those guys didn't do a damn thing against Dre'. Not saying that they're elite but nobodys touchin Dre. Its not anything in particular or any one punch (with one punch power) that you look for in Ward. It's everything; he's the complete package. He uses every punch effectively. He can fight going forward and backwards and has great ring generalship. He will be a handful for ANY fighter he fights.
This kid hasn't lost a fight since he was 12.
Froch put more pressure on his opponents and seems to have more dimensions than Miranda, he's mentally very strong as well and I still think Ward is vulnerable, not as much as I thought he was but I still think he is. I got Froch beating him.
Shit that shocked me Silencer
I thought you was gonna say Ward...
Im not sure Taylor was outboxing him clean..
I think Ward is mentally strong enough to hold it together and do the same sort of thing he did against Miranda 2nite
Froch does have some power but it might have been that Taylor was more winded at the end of the fight and that coupled with Froch landing did him in. It will be an interesting match up. Ward does look like he is lacking some power so keeping Froch around for 12 rounds will be dangerous.
Pascal and Taylor are formidable themselves, just as well schooled as Ward and Ward doesn't have the power to hurt Froch. Froch is ugly but to count him out would be beyond foolish
