    One thing I must praise froch on...

    he almost never is in a dull fight...

    can't say the same for that other guy. you know ward


    however, there's much to praise froch about. I think this was froch's greatest accomplishment. johnson (even at the age of 42 and at the weight of 168 lbs) is still a tough customer.

    Froch showed in this fight his versatility. Froch can box and move. He can brawl. He can shoe-shine. He can close strong.

    The Cobra has grown on me.

    What Froch needs now is better head movement and defense against the right hand... good thing he has a good chin or he'd be in trouble. They better patch that defensive flaw fast imho... Ward can take advantage of that.

    Great post. He has grown on me a lot too. He was a relative unknown until the taylor fight...I kinda started liking him after that fight.

      When he doubles that jab the dude is unstoppable he needs to make that a staple in his upcoming fight,also he needs to start rolling with punches Johnson hit him with massive shots a guy a little quicker might ko Froch.
      With that said i enjoy watching Froch fight the dude is a bad mofo.

        I'm joining this group of Pro-Froch. Guy showed he has an iron chin and an exciting fighter. Although, Ward showed heart and skills in his last fight too. Hard to say who will win, honestly.

          froch has done nothing but grow on me more and more. although he beat a favorite of mine, glenn johnson, froch has been a true deliverer of good action exciting fights, worth every penny of the money that i spend to watch it!!!!!

          i'm rooting for froch to win the super six!!!!

          i'd like to root for my countrymen, but, ward hasn't provided me with a good showing yet worth my time or money..... very, very sad to say...... i'd love nothing more than to be supportive of ward but he has never delivered in any respects of fan friendly fights, excitement, or even a bit of drama, none of that........... ward is flat in my opinion......

          it's like watching an uneducated in the sweet science bernard hopkins fight, ward does what bhop does, SOMETIMES, without the slickness and craft that makes it sweet and enjoyable to watch......... i can go on and on about how i don't like ward, but like i said, it's like watching a guy who is brute with his game and doesn't make it fun to watch.........

          ward does not deliver as far as excitement or in giving you something to really watch......................

          go froch!

              The dude just grows on you. Like Tarver said tonight, the guy just has charisma and a swagger about him. He is tough, and he knows he is tough. And knows he is good too, his confidence is unflailing

                Nice to see him finally getting the props he deserves. I have met him a few times in Nottingham and he is a down to earth, friendly guy as well

                  didnt like froch at first because of the way he was barely able to beat taylor and dirrell and had the nerve to brag about those wins...

                  but he's conducting himself better now, improving with each fight and showing resilience. he's a true warrior and even though panda will be rooting for ward, panda expects the best froch to appear this fall
