How can Froch beat Ward?

froch needs to make it an ugly fight...

All i know is i'm really looking forward to this fight. Two of the best guys in the division facing each other is great for the sport. Wonder where the bought will be held? Surely not LA? Las Vegas maybe?

Froch will have to use a style similar to what Glenn Johnson tried to use against him last night. We know that Froch can take a solid punch so now we know for sure that Ward will not be able to stop Froch. Froch will have to get to what other Ward opponents have failed to do. Test Ward's chin properly. If he can apply pressure and actually get to Andre we might have a pretty good fight on our hands.

He needs to keep pumping his jab in Ward's face and body, even if he's getting countered or beaten to the punch. Rough him up like no one's business in the clinch, I'm talking rabbit punches, wrestling, anything to get Ward uncomfortable. Vary his speed, explode with combinations of hooks, bodyshots and uppercuts every so often. If Ward tries to headbutt him, give him an elbow or toss him to the floor and hope he injures his ankle or wrist. In other words be a total rough-housing bitch.

Ward isn't a pressure fighter. Honestly, I think Ward would rather fight Froch on the inside rather than from the outside where Froch can use his jab and put Ward at the end of his punches. And you think fighting on the inside isn't putting pressure! Ward can fight effective both going forward and going backwards. I guess you haven't seen many of his fights!

Froch is simply too naive (not to mention slow) in believing he can counter punch ward on the back foot. Ward ain't no 42 year old. Ward isn't a pressure fighter.

Froch already exposed his strrategy on the fight. He doesn't believe Ward is as good coming forward as he is going backwards. With the right ref who wont let Ward hold-and-hit, is chances to win will surely increase. Also u have to consider that Froch has fought without the benefit of hometown advantage through out the tournament. IMHO this experience will give Froch a minor edge in a close fight where every inch counts. froch can steal rounds by hurting ward or backing him up...but he's also said he's going to let ward come at him which is really stupid imho Froch is simply too naive (not to mention slow) in believing he can counter punch ward on the back foot.

The so-called formula that Froch and his coach have developed has an antidote-A Ward Hook to the kidney which are not as granite as Froch chin!!!

Horrible style matchup for Froch.. i am a huge fan but Ward will have his number sadly That's what I'm afraid of. Ward is incredibly skilled, athletically gifted and extremely clever in the ring. He only cares about winning and he doesn't care how he looks doing so. He is going to be very difficult for Froch to beat.

Froch has to really hurt Ward (the earlier the better), and change his behavior, make him afraid to fight back. If Ward gets too comfortable, he's going to amass a lead based on activity and accuracy that Froch can't stop without a knockout. that was everyones game plan if you havent noticed

Adopt a completely different strategy. Froch will probably have to walk Ward down, and make things ruff in there. The speed difference is a problem for Froch. Closing the distance is his chance landing hard combinations, hoping he can rock Ward.

He's going to have to get in his face and give ward a dose of his own medicine.

use manny's PED's is the only way, i mean ward is smart fast and have a beautiful jab he knows go to the body too if Froch keeps his hands downs, mmmmmmmm EZ for ward

i am a huge froch fan, but i cant see him beating ward the speed is the difference for me, ward is just too quick, unless froch gets ward in a war and kos him, he has lost this
