Cant wait for tonight! Im a big fan of both of these guys, Froch has one of the best attitudes toward boxing in the game today, a real throwback in the sense he just wants to fight the best and if it has to be on foreign soil so be it. Back to back this guy has squared off against Pascal,Taylor, Dirrell, Kessler, Abraham, Johnson and now Ward! Five of the seven fights away from home and three of them against undefeated fighters. Its impressive. He looks awful, wooden, slow and ungaingly as well as SO easy to hit but the guy is deceptively good and while he's no Willy Pep he dont take the punishment ud expect. His awkward style works for him and i after initially thinking Ward would DOMINATE him am beginning to give Froch a real shot here, this fight is up for grabs.
Ward for his part has really impressed me with his class out of the ring. He dosnt give the memorable soundbites Cobra does but he is intelligent, humble and confident. Inside the ropes he has faced quite a line up too in Kessler, Green, a fight against Tough and rugged dangerman Sakio Bika that he didnt need to take, Abraham and now Froch. Ward has shown how physically strong and tough he is along the way as well as demonstrating his skills. He fights well in both the orthodox and southpaw stance, is sharp to counter shots and has quick reflexes, hands and feet. The guy is good and a top pound for pounder in my opinion, I mean they dont just give Gold medals away. Its his inside game that has impressed me the most though, its probably the best in the sport right now. I find his fights highly watchable too going against the view that he is boring...
This fight is fascinating and i cant wait to see how it unfolds!
I just hope the winner isnt instantly bombarded with questions about Bute, whoever sees this tournament through deserves his moment of glory
Bute should face the winner but dont spoil the moment after all the work thats been put in over the two years
