:lol1: Why does it always have to get personal by calling people armchair fans & such? I could be anybody for all you know.
You think the reason was to do with Bika's power, but I am entitled to my own opinion & did see that fight and would say it wasn't so much his power but his awkward style & ruggedness. Bika is wild and makes just about everybody look bad.
It was a scrappy fight with both using forearms, clinching, headbutts etc (Mainly Bika trying to make it a dog fight which he did)
Bika made Ward fight his style of fight which just shows how versatile Ward is IMO
Golovkin is a middleweight who hasn't fought anybody of note...
:lol1:
Armchairboy, I'll take that as a no then:lol1:
Bute UD.Too much speed and i honestly think Bute will get Froch's respect with his power would not be suprised him LB stopped the Cobra although that is my worry for Bute aswell Froch will be the best puncher he has faced.Should be an interesting night.WAR BUTE
No he isn't, Bika and Miranda punch harder.
Who cares.
Elite fighters (we'll see if Bute's in that class) overcome raucous atmospheres -ever see the Mayweather Hatton at the mgm grand?
In Froch's last fight all he went on about is POWER, POWER, POWER-and he got exposed..now he's off on LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION (which IMO will have little bearings on the outcome of this fight). Skills pay the bills not supporters!

I don't care if you box for fun you're still an armchair fan compared to Ward.
Next you'll be telling us how Froch has better one punch K.O power than Golovkin!
Froch tends to wear guys down from an accumulation of shots. But if you put those sort of guys Bika's knocked out against Froch he'd do the same thing & often did earlier in his career.
Froch has the power to rock, drop & K.O elite level fighters, Bika doesn't and never has IMO
Not implying Bika can't crack but I think Froch hits quite a bit harder personally & when Glen Johnson says you hit hard it stands for something.
Froch hit Ward flush dirtily after the bell rang in one round in thier fight and it didn't put a dent on Wards face. I reiterate Froch has good not great power. Ward even said Bika and I quote "is his toughest fight to this date". The reason why has a lot to do with the power Bika has.
Who would know better YOU the armchair fan or Ward?

It wasn't Bikas power that made it a tough fight for Ward it was more his style.
By your logic Bika hits harder than Kessler and AA as well.
Never said Bika's power was the only reason the fight was tough-it's a factor you can't count out. Ward was not deterred by Froch so-called Power, power, power talk (he even laughed it off to Virgil in the corner) and roughed him. Funny enough he's kept that power, power power talk to the background in this fight and has started this new location, location, location nonsense.
Bute UD.Too much speed and i honestly think Bute will get Froch's respect with his power would not be suprised him LB stopped the Cobra although that is my worry for Bute aswell Froch will be the best puncher he has faced.Should be an interesting night.WAR BUTE
What makes you think that? Neither have ever knocked out anybody above journeyman status. I don't think they have dropped anybody of note ever.
Miranda may well hit harder but Bika certainly doesn't.
Journeyman or not, Bika has one punch K.O power. How long has it been since Froch K.O'd someone with one punch? Froch has good power and that's it.
Last fight this bitter man kept yapping on about POWER, POWER, POWER, now the fool is hopping in this LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION nonsense. Focus on your gameplan and not on fool's gold.
There is gonna be no payback, Bat. You know this. I know you're a big fan of Kessler. But Ward is just on another level. The only payback I can see is a robbery? If that's what you mean.
THIS (and why this fight won't be happening).
this thread illustrates the current state of boxing. The sport has become so boring that fans who sign up for the most popular boxing website create threads about a floyd mayweather fight almost 3 years ago.
Ok guys. Blames cortez. Floyd cheated. Hatton won, odh beat floyd. Castillo beat floyd. Floyd ducks. Now that 2004-2009 is covered can we get back to 2011.
^^^^this^^^^
having been in the gym with ward for the last few months im gonna say ... just watch dec. 17th and you'll see why.
Rumor has it the black russian aka the future of the light heavyweights was in town (The Bay):boxing::)
Andre, you're in superb condition. You're the better pure boxer with better speed and Froch is a tough S.O.B. Don't fight his fight. Take him to school and if you see an opportunity to take him out, do it. Just don't be reckless.
^^^^^This^^^^^
Ward TKO 6th round.
I believe that Dirrell on his game could beat Ward.
Ward would go through Froch's resume undefeated IMO.
On the other hand, we all know that Froch can't go through Ward's resume undefeated.
^^^^^THIS^^^^
And IMHO Bika is actually tougher & stronger than Froch.
Good for him.
Doesnt change the fact that he just isnt a very good boxer.
btw HattonBot, how are your wanker compatriots on esbritishbias.com doing these days?
Relax Brock put down the pom poms and watch the fight again. You might want to get the showtime feed instead of the British feed. It is clear as can be. Anyway, I'm rooting for Froch this weekend I think it is going to be a great fight.
@Stanly Ketchel Brock is an alt/ExhattonBot from that british bias esb site. Ignore the fool.
Good for him.

??????????????????????????????
Exactly...
Now I can put you on my ignore list!
this should be another classic matchup with two guys who are almost at the pinnacle of their careers.
Judging from the johnson vs froch fight i dont see froch being able to deal with the speed and superior boxing ability ward brings. It's good to be confident but i have a feeling that froch has underestimated ward as a powder puff guy that he feels he will dominate. I see this being his greatest miscalculation.
Number one: I think froch thinks he is the stronger fighter, ward seems to be extremely strong physically.
Secondly, froch thinks ward will not be able to hurt him and that he is gunning for the ko. This could be a bit of subterfuge as i've seen froch say this and then obviously have a strategy of boxing (froch vs abraham). If he tries to box ward that would probably be a huge mistake, but my point is there are many ways to knock a guy out, ward may not be able to 1 punch ko froch(i actually think he lands the right punch he just could do that) but he could definitely get that stoppage a number of other ways.
I see ward doing a number on froch, delivering a masterpiece.
