If Ward can't hurt Froch, can he Dirrell him?

[sweetpea87]

Froch is still way too slow and flat-footed. Ward's going to make him look like a bum.

You people overrate ward. His inside fake is predicated on being stringer and the other guy having no inside game.


A la kessler who has no inside game. Froch does and if ward can't hurt him with inside shots those froch combos just might get him a decision. Right now, I see a very close decision either way. 50/50 fight....

Froch has been in with MUCH better comp. And more diverse styles, he has the experience edge and has been able to adjust to his opponents style just as well as ward has.

I like Ward to beat Froch by UD. Ward will not allow Froch to fight at the distance he likes. Ward will fight him on the inside.

Frock fought well on the inside. Even glen said in his post fight interview that froch beat him up on the inside.


Froch not fighting well on the inside is a myth. He's not great but he's good on a world class level and he's smarter and sturdier than he gets credit for.

Ps
war glen johnson, I love that guy

Pps, andre ward is all class

Froch is dead average on the inside.

Ward is much much much better in that catergory, atleast.

I can't see Carl Froch beating Andre Ward.

Then again I have said that about alot of Froch's recent fights.

But Ward is a different animal.

Precisely.

[Sparked_1985]

Ward is a better fighter.

But Froch has beaten better fighters than himself.

I think Froch is being overrated a tad also.

People are forgetting that Froch looked pretty bad against Dirrell. As did Dirrell, but still.

He didn't look great against Kessler or Taylor or nor did he tonight.

He knows how to win and gets the job done but Ward Isn't those guys.

Ward will be by far the toughest fight of his career and I think Carl of all people even adknowledges that.

Froch has the magic mix of chin,power,stamina,determination!.

ward doesnt have the power to hurt froch,he wont be able to keep froch off him.

He can try direll froch,but he isnt even as fast with punching or movement as dirrell is.

ward got drawn into bikas inside fight and his game,froch can drag ward into this type of fight and beat him.

johnson admited he planned and boxed early,but got dragged into frochs type of fight.

ward has not fought as gooder opponents as froch,he doesnt improve by having that,he got an ok win v kessler,but vs green,bika and a inactive recently lost abraham he hasnt had the biggest tests to improve and prove himself enough.

Froch has fought: pascal,taylor,dirrell,kessler,abraham,johnson,

hes made mistakes in fights but hes learnt from them,hes got used to all these styles and improved as a fighter.

Carl the cobra froch will win,it might be dominating,it might be ugly,but he will win someway or another.

Lets be honest, if Froch vs Dirrell was in the US, it is no way he wins that fight, he received a GIFT in Nottingham despite being out-boxed

I like Froch, the man is a BEAST and a WARRIOR...but he can be out-boxed, Dirrell and Kessler proved that...I consider Ward to be better then both of those fighters RIGHT NOW!

So bottom line, if Froch can't get the KO...he will lose by UD

For Froch to look good he needs a sitting target and lets be honest, Johnson and Abraham provided that for him because neither uses Lateral Movement, they either move back or come forward...Froch is actually better at moving lateral then those guys

I see the fight like the Abraham and Kessler fight, Ward darting in and out and side to side and him going to the body A LOT then using the clinch to nullify Froch's Power and to get inside

but to be honest I don't think Ward even needs to get inside to beat Froch, I think he beats him from the outside with SPEED. Ward is not going to eat those Combos from Froch like Johnson and Abraham did, he is going to be MOVING and trying to counter them
