Comments Thread For: Carl Froch: If I Hit Ward's Jaw, I'll Do Serious Damage

[Boxingtech718v2]

People also call Ward Feather fisted but his punches obviously have decent pop or fighters would just walk him down. He just doesn't have that killer finishing instinct. That would be the one thing I think he lacks as a fighter.

Also after facing Bute I think Ward moves up in weight. He looks skinny as hell at SMW. If he eats 2 decent meals he will be a LHW.

Ward is special. Froch has a point that if he hits Ward on the chin, that's if he hits him flush. Ward is not scared to use Hopkins tactics with Froch and we don't know what kind of chin Ward has. Ward did dominate the guy (Kessler) that Froch loss to. Take this into consideration, Ward by UD, maybe KO.

Someone said Bika was getting to Ward and Froch is no Bika. If you are going to use that ****** analogy then apparantly you forgot that Ward DOMINATED Kessler who barely won a round. Guess what? The same fighter Ward reduced to nothing - beat Froch.

But he cheated with 13 un answered headbutts that busted Kessler up and upset the rhythm of the fight...In most fans eyes the Kessler is not a clean win for Ward !

Froch should come to the ring dressed in this costume.

i was at that fight, and i can say it looked like Ward had an off night. not only that, but Bika wasnt getting any help from the judge. Ward elbowed him at one point. Bika was just as rough, but the ref was quick to warn him and free Andre up, but as soon as Bika found himself in the disadvantage, no ref. expected, but it was a really close fight that Ward barley won on points, yet the scores had him totally dominating.

Ward is prepared but he didnt have as easy of a night against Abraham than Froch did, plus Arthur wasnt the same fighter. Kessler seemed really lost in Oakland when Ward whooped him, but to be fair, the headbutts played a huge part in his downfall. Kessler fighting at home against Froch was a much different fighter all together. I want to see Ward on the road, so he can silence some of his critics. Both men deserve to be the best @ 168. I just happened to think Froch is the bigger personality, which in boxing terms means absolutely nothing.

I agree with everything but the Kessler fight..At first sight I thought there might have been some dirty stuff going on,but when I watch it back it was a master class by Ward..Kessler just did not have an answer for it..

It's not a ****** analogy it's to show Ward is hittable unlike so many believe on this site...So what Froch lost to Kessler,most felt it was a fight that could have went either way..And the main thing is styles make fights and Bika's style gave Ward all kinds of problems and Froch is was better then Bika that's the point bro..

Froch has never really shown that type of power. He's an accumulation fighter. He won't accumulate enough landed punches to stop Ward.

I honestly am disgusted by Ward's style. He never really seems to land that cleanly or with good combinations. He just lands a jab or a right hand and then immediately follows it up with his head, pushing it into his opponent's head (I mean look at how many cuts Kessler had from Ward's head) or chest and then clinching with his opponent in an extremely tedious fashion.

He is obviously a good fighter as he has beaten some good opposition but I really hope we see a more of an open fight. Froch's fights always seem to be exciting with very little clinching and good open battles fought in the inside, outside against the ropes and in the centre of the ring. He also doesn't lead with his head seemingly deliberately trying to attack his opponent illegally, as Ward does.

If you go back through Ward's fights they are extremely boring. His style is not conducive to becoming a true star as per Mayweather, Pacquaio or Martinez. I truly hope Froch wins this fight as the path he has taken to get to this final not only warrants it, but I believe it would be extremely good for the image of boxing.

Although I should say against Abraham Ward did open up very nicely whilst still displaying speed, good defence and excellent footwork.

I think uppercut is the right puch for Froch, against any opponent. He has a nice uppercut and he showed that against guys like Reid and Rybacki.
