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.Comment

froch was my pick to win the tourney...i thought it would be vs kessler though not ward...he is tough & almost all his fights are good...Comment

Froch was untested for a large portion of his career and people wondered when he was going to fight anyone good and know how good froch really is.
Pascal was his first test and he hasnt looked back since. He has made up for it.Comment

Yeah Froch has grown on me as well...I gave him props for the Taylor fight but I felt he lost the Dirrell fight and I was really disgusted with how he spoke about that fight. He acted like he dominated. But anyways, even though his style is unorthodox he is very effective (Jim Kelly). He is a very smart fighter. Ward will have his have to bring his A game to win this one but Andre is special enough and I think he will win.Comment

Froch is what Kelly Pavlik should have been. While both have had practically the same type of physical gifts (along with non gifts) and style, Froch has shown he has the Mental toughness to not only get through a loss, but to become even more determined and better after it.
He is building one impressive resume.Comment

Great to see the Cobra get the respect he deserves. He's a very hard man, and he has skills and swagger. Not flashy skills, but skills all the same.
Ward is the most talented SMW out there, but he doesn't have the pop to trouble Froch. Should be very interesting.Comment

It is funny though. Froch and Pavlik both have incredible chins. Only Talyor was able to truly hurt them. It shows how underrated Taylor's power was.Comment
