That is what he must do to beat ward, ward has good foot movement and hand speed, better than froch, so in general he will be able to hit 1-2 and get out of there more times than not...
I think if froch can cut the ring off in the fight, landing his shots and being comfortable in the fight then he can beat him, but if he is not able to do it well then i see ward taking the fight 8 rounds to 4 or 7-5
I hope froch starts planning after he beats johnson on his movement, that will be the key, ward isa very cautious fighter, he stays away from the danger spots, froch needs to work on wards habits and trying to move with him to land
In watching the fight last night I noticed when Abraham was using his jab he was very effective against Ward. I expect that Froch will use his excellent long jab to control Ward and then drop the hard left hook or overhand right to win this fight.(If he gets past Glen Johnson, which is by no means a walk in the park)
I love how everybody is already putting Froch in the finals. Dont be so quick now. Glen Johnson will eat this man up if Froch isnt at his best, and can do it even if he is at his best. Thats the problem with most fight fans and fighters, and boxing enthusiaists. You ASSUME TOO DAMN MUCH. Froch wont circle or step off against Johnson, he doesnt do that. Johnson will use his jab and get in Froch's chest all night long. Watch!!!! Johnson will be there and it will be a close affair. I rocking with Glencoffe Johnson, because he has more will than any fighter at this moment in the tourney.
Froch does not have good foot movement and can't fight inside. That's what I think too. Johnson could get robbed AGAIN.

Ward - Froch will be like Ward - Kessler.
Kessler BEAT Froch. Froch doesn't have good movement.
But could be a lot closer. Ward by UD.

froch needs to fight dirty to have any chance of beating ward. if you look at the bika fight he was roughing up ward and made it competitive, thats exactly what froch needs to do.
thing is froch will not have to go looking for ward. ward isnt gonna be running scared like dirrell( who outboxed the hell outa froch) he will be up in froch's grill bullying him around. and when ward isnt on the inside roughing froch up he will be countering the hell out of him. im more confident in ward to win this tourney with ease then i have been about anything in a long time...save the pacman-margarito fight lol
froch will expect a robbery,so he will be going for a knockout,and atleast get a knockdown or two on ward.
I can see froch improving his boxing,behind the jab/s,at his range,trying to improve his speed and more so him timing to counter and catch ward.Improving his defence a little too.
He can just wildly chase down and land on ward,but it would be better if he improved more and closed down the ring nicely.
I do think dirrell is faster for moving and hitting than ward is,so froch will be able to handle ward and has been kinda prepared well by facing dirrell,and even kessler who could move well and punch pretty fast.
I can just see ward not being able to hurt froch,if froch cant get hurt,and has no fear from wards power,then he will just walk through everything and catch ward enough to knock him out.
Froch dont get tired either!.
Even abraham manged to catch ward with big shots early,and hes slow as hell.
johnson is the tougher fight tbh.
War will get the decision no matter what it's a US fight and Showtime has engineered it so Ward wins just look at how much priase they were singing Taylor when they fought and look at the scorecards compared to press row scoring.
Froch's getting jobbed it's that simple no matter how well he does all Ward has to do is grab him and make the fight look competitive to walk away with the 'w'.
i hope to god froch does not take the fight in america, he has no chance if he is fighting in the usa
