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

[KingKhan1]

Ward is better technically but Froch has more grit. I think ward will win early rounds and Froch will level it 5-5 then i dont know! lol

[Gojira]

You'd think by now, people would stop underestimating Froch.

[The Big Dunn]

Too close for me right now but I'm leaning toward Froch.

[The Hammer]

Headbutt TKO, you mean?

That's the only way he might stop Froch - he forced the Kessler fight to stop with a deliberate, nasty headbutt.

Ward doesn't have much power in his fists, so he uses his head as a weapon.

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.

This is really a fascinating match-up I have to say... because I have no idea how it pans out - Ward does his things and does what he needs to to win and he has the skill set to do basically everything... Froch on the other hand is simply underrated as an overall fighter IMO - I almost bet against him in every fight and he was in everyone of them and to beat him is a tough assignment...

Ward really has to bring it this time... because Froch can rough you up like Ward can... he has ok handspeed and timing, good conditioning, very good chin... more power... this is really a fascinating matchup because I have absolutey no idea what will happen...

But I gotta believe that Ward somehow squeezes it out - probably just a majority decision by a point or something - I think it will be tactical at times but very close

froch definitely lost to dirrell but it was like watching a little brother school his big brother. Although Dirrell showed he was the superior fighter, he was scared to put his foot on the gas and it showed. Had he been more aggresive it would have been decisive.

Ward is very elusive and has shown he can adapt to any fighting style put in front of him. However, many, me included, find it hard to warm to his roughhouse tactics.

Technically, he is more superior then Froch, and has better handspeed and footwork. His intangibles are of an high quality.

Froch has shown time and time again, that no matter how many write him off, underdog or not, he will find a way to win. Through heart and sheer determination, it's hard to find a fighter that wants it more then him. He has great ring endurance, and he has shown to be far better skilled then credited for.

Many say his power is overrated and he hasn't put anyone away at the top, but fighting world class opposition one after another what is expected? He has one of the strongest resume's in the game right now going on the past 5-6 fights.

I believe this fight is going the distance, and i give the edge to Ward in a tough, hard fought battle. Stylistically, i just don't see Froch persuading the judges in the US if the fight goes all 12. Froch will not be a pushover for any dirty tactics, and he'll give as good as he gets.

If the fight does not go the distance in favour of Ward, i see it being similar to the Kessler fight and it'll be due to cuts. Froch has shown to get cut pretty easy in past fights and Ward would try to inflict as much damage to that area if it is to happen.

A Froch stoppage is possible. Froch usually outworks his opponents much more in the mid-to-late rounds, and Ward is there to be hit. He has been, and he will get hit. I think Froch is the stronger of the 2, and i think has better stamina. A late surge for a Froch TKO can't be written off. I don't think either men will get knocked out however.
