Carl Froch vs. Andre Ward: Super Six Final - Official Poll

[The Hammer]

except froch will be there 2 weeks before the fight so that will have no effect on him at all. you act like he's gonna get off the plane an hour before the fight. ****** terrible comment as usual. keep it up.

Interesting how you constantly bash and ridicule European fighters for not fighting outside their home country, while you approve of Ward doing the same thing.

You really hate Europeans, don't you, daggum?

You like the idea of Ward having all his Super Six fights in the US while everyone else had to travel.

Froch impressed me last night but I still think Ward wins 118-110 in a boring fight. Freedom, do you really believe your own bull**** or are you just anti-American>

that Froch uppercut will be a valuable tool when when Ward leans forward

Froch's uppercut success rate against world class opposition must be something like 2.7%. It's really not an effective punch.

I'm a Froch fan and don't particularly like Ward at all, but some of you are seriously underestimating him. People talk about his supposedly weak chin, but who in this tournament has come close to testing it? He's a bit like Mayweather in that you may land the odd punch on him, but it's very, very difficult to land more than single shots at a time. I expect Froch to be Ward's toughest fight in the tourney, but I just can't see him winning this fight. The super six format suits the guy who has the most facets to his game, and that's been Ward from the start. Ward UD.

Froch said he was comfortable against johnson..... the arrogant bum..... ward will own you

Neutral zone would make it fair. Because this fight is going to decision. And excuses will be made.


I would love to see Froch win but in all objectivity, Ward will win. Just too good, he is able to adapt to any style.

He brawled Green, boxed Kessler, swarmed Abraham. Dude is ridiculous.

Well said.

Beat Bika at his own dirty game, and outboxed Miranda too.

Just has too many styles. I have seen Froch use 2 different styles, which is also good. But how can you beat a guy that has fought 5 different styles with 5 different guys. Impossible. You can watch all the tapes of his you want, you don't know what exactly you're gonna get.

Who will win?

Will neutral officials make a difference? Will the deck be stacked against Carl Froch?

Will Andre Ward refuse to have the fight anywhere except California, so he can have a crooked referee like Jack Reiss who lets him headbutt, hit off the break and hit while holding?

I think the fight should be in the UK, since Ward has had ALL his Super Six fights in the USA, while Froch has had only one at home.

My prediction: with a fair referee who stops Ward from cheating with head butts and other fouls, Froch will stop him in a late round.

if you were man enough to ever step in the ring you'd know that holding and all the other tricks are part of the game. also

My prediction: with a fair referee who stops Ward from cheating with head butts and other fouls, Froch will stop him in a late round.

Froch hasn't come close to stopping anybody in this tournament. In fact, with the exception of Taylor, who had well documented stamina issues, Froch has never stopped a world class opponent.

So bearing that in mind, what leads you to believe Froch will stop Ward, who rarely gets hit clean or with more than single punches at a time?

[-Kev-]

Yes it will. This is a very good fight.

Froch has the power to end it at any moment.

I think this fight might look a bit like the Taylor fight, Minus the knockdowns.

Ward made a good point, in subtly saying power is overrated when you are an up and comer.

There's only been 2 TKO wins, and 1 knock down in the tourney, and that was my boy Taylor who was a KO loss streak barring the Lacy fight. And Green who was hit in the back of the head, and Abraham was knocked down by Dirrell.

It's hard to keep those KO's going when you are fighting the best. That's why Froch has 0 KO's in the Super 6 Tourney. Four 12 round decisions in a row, with not even one knock down.

Who will win?

Ward UD over Froch.
Ward out grinds Froch.
The key will be Ward's mobility and movement.

Most likely outcome 116-112 or 117-111.

Neither has enough combos/power to KO the other dude out.

The viewers of this fight are left wanting something more.

I am rooting for Froch but Ward is gonna win by UD.
