      And that way he can increase his amazing current 0% KO Ratio since the Super Six started.

          looking forward very much to this fight in spite of two inevitabilities

          1:
          it's going to the scorecards. the only way i see the fight ending early is on a cut from a clash of heads


          2:
          ward is going to come out on top.


          he;s -290 i think. thats decent odds to be honest. i dont think froch has a prayer.

            I want to see a good fight, may the best man win. I'm kind of pulling for Froch though because he has proventhe most to me so far. Ward had some hometown cooking location-wise, scoring-wise, and referee-wise in some of his fights while Froch always seems to be the underdog or the guy having to take certain chances to make fights happen.

              Umm I truly don't get the point of this post,one fight is different then the last..I did not call for Carl to win any other fight by KO,I just have a feeling about this one here..Oh and BTW none of Froch's opponents(I believe)outside of Johnson have ever been KO'd..If Froch fights a smart fight Ward is gonna be KO'd...

                what fighter has been scoring KO's in the super six? aside from abraham stretching taylor? johnson stretched green too. . . but that's what happens when young, prime, excellent fighters fight. . . you get two way fights. . .

                i think ward will win, but it's foolish to count froch out. . . he proved he can fight on the inside against johnson, proved he can counter punch and read and react against johnson and kessler. . . he has a good jab. a very god jab that comes from the waist at an upward angle which is harder to see and time. . . has a chin like a rock and a gas tank that gets 50 miles to the gallon and never runs out. . .

                he's not as fast as ward, but i think his reflexes are on par with ward. . . it will be very interesting to see how it plays out.

                  Where are you lost?

                  What are you basing the idea of Froch KO'ing Ward off?

                  Ward's visibly weak chin?

                  Or Froch's brutal 0% KO Ratio since the start of the tornument?

                  Or perhaps it's that Ward has fought bigger punchers (Abraham) and better fighters (Kessler) and not been knocked out?

                  Picking Froch to beat Ward is one thing, but picking him to knock him out is something else.

                  It's not happening.

                    Don't forget to add IYO because that's what it is your opinion..As well as mine that if Froch fights a smart fight he will KO Ward...Better fighters??Froch will be a way tougher fight then both Kessler and Abraham,and I base Froch KO'ing Ward on styles..Froch has the style to touch Ward more then any other fighter Ward has been in with,he also has the stamina and strength to get out of clinches and be physical with Ward...Look to the Bika fight(which I felt Ward won but it was much closer then the cards indicated)Bika with that awkward style was able to touch Ward up,and he does not have half the boxing ability that Froch has..

                      I don't see on what basis that tis fight will be a way tougher fight than the Kessler fight. Is Froch really superior to Mikkel Kessler? Frankly, no he's not.

                      Anyway, I bet you all your points, 583,836,486.86 points, that Ward doesn't get stopped by Froch.
