      I'm actually rooting for Froch but Ward's hold-n-hit style might trouble Froch. Team Froch better get a ref that wont let Ward hold-n-hit.

        Dirrell laid one blueprint for how to beat Froch even though he didn't get the win. And Kessler showed another way to beat Froch.

        As of yet no one has shown how to beat Ward. But let's see if this strategy of making him come forward will work.

          With Ward, u gotta be 1 step ahead of his adaptability. Abraham kept Ward nervous in the first 4 rounds until he adapted.

          Froch should charge Ward in the first 4 rounds, let him adapt to that, then box him after the adaptation. And while he's adapting to that, throw something else in there, maybe some rough/housing on the inside. Ward may retaliate, but depending on the ref Froch orders, Ward may get penalized before Froch does.... Seen it happen before

            Yeah, Dirrel showed one way to beat Froch but Dirrel has better footwork then Ward, better reach and might be a little faster, it might not be possible for Ward to pull off that gameplan.

              Dirrell showed in glimpses a gameplan to beat Froch but he wasn't able to pull it off.

              Ward is better than Dirrell. Maybe not faster, but he has more tools in the box and is able to adapt his game to any opponent. I think it's a very hard fight for Froch, but an interesting one and the right one for the super six finale.

                  The game plan on how to beat Froch has already been written. When facing a guy like Ward, that's far from good. Hence, why I have Ward taking this by wide UD.

                    Lets not forget that Taylor had him dead to rights untill he gassed at the end.
