I disagree to an extent about Ward. Froch may very well beat him, if they fight, but I just think Ward has a very difficult style for many to face, unless you have very good timing and jab (something which Froch seems to abandon for stretches).
I just think Ward-Froch is a pick 'em fight as well.Comment

I agree that Froch will have to be on his A game to beat Ward. I didn't say he'd beat him easily, but as long as he's on his A game, he should be the strong favourite to win. He does have a very good jab when he's on his A game, and decent timing. His timing was badly off in the first half of the Taylor fight but it was very good indeed for the last four rounds of that fight.
But hey, it's worked so far, right?Comment

Although as far as keeping his hands up is concerned, the time he needs to do that is when he is moving out of range. That's when he keeps getting caught unnecessarily. He keeps saying he is working on doing exactly that, but he keeps forgetting to do it in the heat of the battle.
He doesn't need to keep them up the rest of the time. Keeping them low allows him to counter from difficult to see angles. But he does need to start keeping them up when moving out of range. And he knows it.
Hmmmm ... he can only get away with it for so long. But he knows that as well, so we'll see what happens against Dirrell. He did say after the Taylor fight that it was his own fault that he'd started so badly, because he didn't listen to his corner.Comment
