    The next 2 fights will be in Vegas. But yes if the fight was in the UK or Germant the ref would be strict with Ward. And rightfully so. That said I find it ironic that Hatton seemed to be given much leeway for rough house tactics in the UK but in Vegas he was pretty much limited by the official.

      I don't think Ward would even need to fight like that against Froch. I believe the reason he did so against Green and Bika is because they're dangerous hookers and employing the style he did he took away their best weapons by smothering them. Froch is so effin slow that Ward should be able to just box him without worrying too much about what's coming back.

        But he did a lot of it against Kessler, too...so why do you think he wouldn't try to "box" that way against someone like Froch?

          so if he's getting soundly outboxed, expect the dirty fighting...

            I cant wait to see Ward v. Froch. That's going to be borderline MMA. Straight up those 2 actually "Fight". That's the kind of fight where the loser is potentially never the same.

              Wow, that will be awesome. Froch/Ward MSG would be great.

                It's going to be a fight that spills out of a bar. But in a ring.

                  Ward definitely isn't going to play nice for the sake of gentlemanly loss.

                    If he fights Froch on neutral ground and outclasses him like i think he will do you guys give him credit?

                      Only Hopkins is allowed to use headbutting in his repertoire.
