He was Gassy because GJ lit his ribs up badly. Body work can do that to a fighter. Which is why I'm surprised GJ didn't work the body more.
maybe ward can lit up froch's body too?
ward is pretty dynamic and very smart i think he wud have gotten alot out of watching this fight.
froch is very strange, u never get the same fight with him.
Wow...this is one of those cases where, even though the loser lost the majority of the rounds, he was always was a punch combination or two from crippling the body and scoring a knockout.
Johnson wasn't going to win by decision, but he looked good enough that, even at 42, people will want to watch him fight.
Hopkins and Johnson are two tough SOBs.
Massive respect for Froch for having a great chin and showing heart in withstanding those body shots.
So hyped for Ward-Froch!!
me too too but less now.
before i think it wud be close.
now i think ward with the right game plan will outbox froch pretty easily.
that left hand low by froch is just asking to be hit by ward, i cant see ward knocking froch out.
froch seemed gassy as hell tonite. low out put by his standard. he fights like that and ward will box his ass off all nite
