Well that was a bit of a random comment.

In Atlantic city yeah its true but so what?

What streets are you talking about? Because in the streets of England, London and Nottingham to be exact, people would definitely know who they are.

I meant the streets where they are standing in the picture since they are standing in Times Square, NY

Haye's a jynx. Bad news.

This was my first thought as well.

Then I thought:

Good.

WAR ANDRE WARD!!!

He does everytime, I hope he does batter Ward but its not going to be easy. Froch will need to make it an ugly scrap to win.

i think froch has two game plans he should go into the fight with for a chance to win: he should first see if he can take advantage of his reach, and range, and somehow keep ward on the end of his jab and straight right hand. fighting off the back foot occasionally mixing it up with an uppercut or combination to the body. . . i do think he has just as good as a jab as ward. . maybe he if he's patient enough, and content with making it a "boring fight", he can get ward to walk into his punches.

however, the more likely scenario (if he has a chance to win) is what you suggested: simply make it an ugly scrap; hold and hit if you have to, maul him in close, throw him around a little bit, and just take risks by trying to be throw in greater volume, risk notwithstanding. . .

I'm rooting for Froch all the way it would be awesome if he wins the Super Six. Having said that Ward has the most difficult style. Cobra should use his long reach and do everything he can to win.

On paper it's difficult to see how Carl wins. Ward has more speed on the outside and a better inside fighting game. Maybe Froch's sheer awkwardness, heavy hands and will to win will shine through.

If Jermain Taylor wasnt a front runner, he beats Froch by 5 rounds..
Ward is a better boxer than Taylor..and smarter..

I reckon Ward will win 9-3

that's what im counting on. . id rather see froch win, but im pretty sure ward will win. . i look at bika, who is an extremely awkward fighter, but not nearly as good as froch, and he was able to tag ward, and rough him up some. .

taylor was putting it on froch for the first half of that fight, but froch was gradually piling the damage on while walking through fire. . .

thing is, taylor has a lot more of a punch than ward, and is more willing to get hit himself, to land punches. . . also i think froch has improved a lot since that fight; he seems to finally realize how good his jab is when he uses it. . .


im still seeing the same decision as you, though. . 117-111'ish type decision.

Haye sure got fat in a hurry. He was rocking a massive gut at the Khan fight. Anywho, war Froch! He is one of my favorite fighters out there, but I don't see how he beats Ward.
