[Video]Staredown: Andre Ward vs. Carl Froch

[V.WEBB]

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.

How is that a weakness? Ward is pretty versatile as a fighter, despite what he's shown with his inside fighting lately.

I don't see how that's a weakness at all, that's a strength in this fight. Ward is a better inside fighter than Froch, and when Froch realizes that Ward can manhandle him that will be the fight, it will be over when that happens.

Ward MUST go inside in order to win he can't let Froch stay on the outside and throw 60+ punches a round. No way Ward will get a decision like that.

Good chat, Froch seems the more confident and assured guy although Ward came over well also.

I thought Ward came across better in that but i'll be cheering on the cobra (even though im pretty sure he'll lose)

Half the time i dont think Froch realises wtf he's saying. He just rambles on saying the first thing that comes into his head. did u see the fight camp 360 when he's talking to hearn and he cant even remember what he said in the press conference even though he told the press to quote him on it lol?

So activity alone will win rounds for Froch? Ward can box from the outside as well. Believe that. He's a boxer and he's always been.

The "obvious" winner here seems to be Ward as he is the better rounded athlete and boxer, but I have learnt my lesson so many times thinking Froch won't make it, and then he does it again, that there is no way anyone can write Carl Froch off and be almost dead certain that Ward wins this.

This is going to be a bloody good fight. Ward knows he won't be able to rough Froch up because he will get the same back. Ward is fighting a real dog here and one that won't quit, has a tough chin and can fight to the end.

If Ward does win then he gets massive credit & likewise if Froch wins he gets massive credit.

I get that feeling.

I get the feeling Froch is delusional. And because he outboxed Abraham and Glen Johnson feels he is some kind of master boxer.

Showtime, who genuinely know literally nothing about Carl Froch and what he is like as a fighter have jumped on that and now the majority of fans outside the UK also feel that Froch is some great skilled master boxer.

Which of course has helped his ego.

I think he thinks he can outbox Ward. The guy couldn't outbox Jermain Taylor.


Also, in terms of not knowing what he's saying, he sounds like an absolute idiot in this staredown.

"When Dirrell went down on one knee, I was like, what the **** is he doing....idiot".

"So then I did it aswell"
