Comments Thread For: Froch: I'll Walk Though Andre Ward's Shots, Exploit Him

[jvsnypes]

I love this dude. He talks it and then he brings it. I respect Ward's skills,but I like being entertained as well.I think their fight will be one to remember.

lol how is ward chinny?? when has he even been wobbled or visibly hurt??....... not only that but froch really doesn't hit as hard as he thinks hence why just like ward he hasnt ko'd anyone in the tourny. The way Froch talks about his power you would think he could KO Vitali klitschko. Ward all the way!!

Can't lie this is a big reason I pick Froch to beat Ward..I believe Ward not being able to hurt Froch mixed in with Froch doing damage himself will break Ward down..Froch is always in position to punch,and Ward is a great defensive fighter but Frochs reach and the fact he is always ready to answer when hit will be the key to this fight..Not saying Ward has no shot,but he better be ready for War..Neither of these fighters will have an easy night that's for sure..

terrible pre-fight analysis. ward has never shown any inklings that he is a mental midget. mentally, he is a champ. 10 million says ward dominates froch.

ppl seem to 4get that dirrell puzzled this guy for 12rds. i like froch but he is far from special.

I know Froch's your guy but I think Ward CAN hurt Froch. It will be the punches he DOESN"T see coming. Froch throws a lot of wild power shots (usually in the later rounds) and when he misses he throws himself way out of position. Most of his opponents weren't fast enough to exploit that (Dirrell was but seemed more concerned with holding) and I believe Ward can. He will make Froch pay when he misses like that. I also think Ward is going to make Froch miss A LOT. He has great head movement and also has more punching power then people think. This fight could be very similar (in styles) to the Dirrell fight, only Ward is a step ahead of Dirrell in almost all areas. Movement will be the key to frustrating Froch the most. I do expect to see some dirty tactics from both sides. This will be a really good fight though, with a close UD for Ward IMO.

That's one thing that won't happen, Ward won't be broken down.

How do you know that??Ward has never fought a strong puncher like Froch,I believe Both have very strong wills..But I seen Froch take shots better then Ward tbh,and if ya think Ward won't be getting hit in this fight you have another thing coming..Based on how I seen both deal with hard shots,I would think Ward would be broken down before Froch..

I remember Ricky Hatton said the same about Floyd Mayweather and then fight night Hatton was knocked out.

Froch is talking too much crap but he makes many mistakes,he is vulnerable to the right hand because he cant keep his hand up.Another thing is Ward does not get tired as the fight goes on like Johnson,umm this will be a great fight

^^^^^THIS...what next from Froch: Bet the house on him not losing?

Couldn't have said it better.

Froch confessed himself blamed an equilibrium problem as the cause of the taylor K.O....and definitely had another one during the 10th round of the dirrell fight.

You maybe right Ward might be able to hurt Froch,but I just can't see it as of now..Even tho Taylor drop Froch I would not say he was hurt,buzzed yes hurt and ready to be KO'd no..I also think Froch will fight Ward a lil more on the backfoot then anything else..He was putting pressure in the Dirrell fight which is really not his style at all..He is gonna want. Ward coming forward so he can use his jab and so he knows were Ward is at all the time..

I'm not taking nothing away from Ward here this will be a good fight and one I would not be surprised if Ward wins..But people saying this will be easy I just don't see it,both are very good at what they do,and Froch is better then he is giving credit for..

I think Ward's versitility will get him the win, that kid just knows how to find a way to win. I didn't like Froch in the begining but he has used this tourney to improve his abilities. AA got worse after losing but Froch added some wrinkles to his game and made himself into a better fighter.

I think Ward's punching power is underrated. Sure he might not be able to hurt Froch, but I think he'll get Froch's respect. With Ward's good punch repertoire, specifically his jab, I see Froch being the aggressor for the majority of the fight and getting hit cleanly while still being able to land his. This got FOTY written all over it.
