    Only narrowly though, most people know the threat Froch raises. Abraham had Ward stunned late in their fight, so he can be hurt too and Froch will land.

      Abraham never had Ward hurt LATE in their fight. Ward took some good shotsthe first 4 rounds or so, but he came back and beat Abraham without much trouble at all.

        I didn't say hurt, I said stunned. Abraham caught him good a couple of times late in the fight and looked to be getting places then Ward stuck his head in.

          Pretty much everyone is taking Ward in this fight and he should win but props to Freddy for picking Ward to win the whole thing from the start. I myself had Ward winning it from the start as well. Most people had the two green Americans as stepping stones and both performed very well and were the best two fighters in the tournament. It's especially funny to look back and think that Abraham was the odds on favorite. He was the worst fighter in this tourney(Taylor was arguably better until the kayo).

            Color me SHOCKED!!!!
            Lol Medved despises both american and english fighters. . .


            But who doesn't give ward credit? roach is making it out like he doesn't get the props he deserves? last i checked he is in a lot of folks pound for pound list. . .


            At first I liked Ward by shutout, but with Froch you never can really tell. . . He's got an extremely long and awkward jab he shoots from weird angles, arguably the toughest bastard in the game, and has stamina second to none.

            I think his first plan should be to try to keep ward at the end of his jab, followed by a straight right and a uppercut from time to time. . . if ward is able to time his jab and shoot the straight right in, and pick his shots off, then he should GO TO WAR and start pressuring Ward and just making it an ugly brawl. . .

              Ward is going to embarrass Froch.
