Ward could probably outbox Froch on the outside but Ward's biggest weakness in this fight is his preference to go inside, that will make it Carl's kind of fight (not necessarily an inside fight, but a rough one), it gives Froch a chance. The ref didn't allow Ward to go on the inside against Abraham and it worked in Ward's favour.

Ward can work on the inside as good as anyone. That is where he does most of his rough housing. I got Ward by UD. I am getting Showtime just for this fight.Comment

Goddamn I'm so bummed out that Froch is going to lose a sloppy, foul filled, ugly UD. He's just so ****ing entertaining that I don't want to see him lose his confidence again like he did after Kessler. I'm rooting for him, but like some others have said, Ward looks to be the heir apparent to Hopkins in the sport. A crafty guy who does everything well, and is willing to foul the **** out of you to win ugly.Comment

In many cultures it is impolite to stare. In this case, the Showtime Producers suggested that they stare. IComment

This is America, we don't give a shyte about other cultures. Who cares about being polite when you are going to get punched in the face by the guy sitting across from youComment

This should be another classic matchup with two guys who are almost at the pinnacle of their careers.
Judging from the Johnson vs Froch fight I dont see Froch being able to deal with the speed and superior boxing ability Ward brings. It's good to be confident but I have a feeling that Froch has underestimated Ward as a Powder puff guy that he feels he will dominate. I see this being his greatest miscalculation.
Number one: I think Froch thinks he is the stronger fighter, Ward seems to be extremely strong physically.
Secondly, Froch thinks Ward will not be able to hurt him and that he is gunning for the KO. This could be a bit of subterfuge as I've seen Froch say this and then obviously have a strategy of boxing (Froch vs Abraham). If he tries to box Ward that would probably be a huge mistake, but my point is there are many ways to Knock a guy out, Ward may not be able to 1 punch KO Froch(I actually think he lands the right punch he just could do that) but he could definitely get that stoppage a number of other ways.
I see Ward doing a number on Froch, delivering a masterpiece.Comment
