      Froch already exposed his strrategy on the fight. He doesn't believe Ward is as good coming forward as he is going backwards. With the right ref who wont let Ward hold-and-hit, is chances to win will surely increase.

      Also u have to consider that Froch has fought without the benefit of hometown advantage through out the tournament. IMHO this experience will give Froch a minor edge in a close fight where every inch counts.

        He gonna be in for a surprise then! The so-called formula that Froch and his coach have developed has an antidote-A Ward Hook to the kidney which are not as granite as Froch chin!!!

          froch can steal rounds by hurting ward or backing him up...but he's also said he's going to let ward come at him which is really ****** imho

            Froch is simply too naive (not to mention slow) in believing he can counter punch ward on the back foot. Ward ain't no 42 year old.

              Ward isn't a pressure fighter. Honestly, I think Ward would rather fight Froch on the inside rather than from the outside where Froch can use his jab and put Ward at the end of his punches.

                And you think fighting on the inside isn't putting pressure! Ward can fight effective both going forward and going backwards. I guess you haven't seen many of his fights!

                  He needs to keep pumping his jab in Ward's face and body, even if he's getting countered or beaten to the punch. Rough him up like no one's business in the clinch, I'm talking rabbit punches, wrestling, anything to get Ward uncomfortable. Vary his speed, explode with combinations of hooks, bodyshots and uppercuts every so often. If Ward tries to headbutt him, give him an elbow or toss him to the floor and hope he injures his ankle or wrist. In other words be a total rough-housing bitch.

                    Froch will have to use a style similar to what Glenn Johnson tried to use against him last night. We know that Froch can take a solid punch so now we know for sure that Ward will not be able to stop Froch.

                    Froch will have to get to what other Ward opponents have failed to do. Test Ward's chin properly. If he can apply pressure and actually get to Andre we might have a pretty good fight on our hands.

                      All i know is i'm really looking forward to this fight. Two of the best guys in the division facing each other is great for the sport.

                      Wonder where the bought will be held? Surely not LA? Las Vegas maybe?
