      and i do think froch stunned ward with a counter left at the end of a round and somewhere in the 12th another left hook early made ward run run run

      all in all, froch is not a big ****er but a heavy handed dude and ward is indeed feather fisted
      Yeah okay, nobody likes getting there head snapped back by a featherfisted fighter.

        And that was with his head
        And the last guy Froch hurt was even before the Super 6.

            The only one getting stunned and getting backed up in last night's fight was Carl Froch. Froch even had a cheap shot sucker punch on the break and Ward didn't even flinch.

            Neither of the two have scored a knock down, let alone a knock out in the Super 6. Nobody in the Super 6 has been fazed by Froch's tremendously overrated power. He has this overly exaggerated overrated "granite" chin, when he was stunned by Johnson, Dirrell, and knocked down and hurt by Taylor, but the few clean punches landed on Ward, did nothing to him in the Super 6.

            Not once in last night's fight did I see a Froch right hand that landed cleanly, stun or even catch Ward's attention. While Ward's jabs and left hooks had Froch thinking twice about trading with Ward.

            Ward being put on a high standard cause he is one of the best young American stars. He has to KO his opponents, but it's okay for his opponents to go on and fight without stopping or hurting anyone.
            Ward landed flush shot after flush shot on Froch and never hurt him even while landing over 40% of his power punches thrown. Usually when anyone lands that high it results in the fighter being landed on getting ko'd or looking like they had been in a car crash, that did not happen because Ward is a pillow puncher even if highly skilled, crafty, and athletic.

              you're right, there are fighters that like to get punched in the face

              or maybe you should stop taking the term "featherfisted" so literally?
              ask your mom to slap you around for awhile, it's possible she's a heavy hitter like ward

                Froch's power is certainly overrated.

                His drastic 0% KO Ratio since the tornument started was a testament to that. There were people who said Froch was going to KO Ward, simply no way that was ever going to happen.

                As for Ward, he can't punch too hard but I think he has more than enough pop to atleast make people respect him and not just waltz straight up to him and walk though him.

                  Fact is Froch's power is overrated by himself and his fans. He's not the big puncher he thinks he is. And Ward was powerful enough that Froch didn't go with his plan of "walking right through" Ward's "light" punches.


                  Good luck to all future fighters who only have "Ward is a light puncher, and I can knock him out" to look forward to, to win. They're gonna have a hard time.

                  You know who are real light punchers? Malignaggi, fighters can walk right through his punches. He caught Khan plenty of times, cleanly, and Khan wasn't bothered by them at all. Wars a light puncher? Yeah okay.

                      You look quite silly making a thread like this, why you mad brah? Your guy won he is very skilled and an excellent athlete and boxer.

                      This would be the equivalent of me making a thread trying to claim Froch is not slow like some ppl say and the reason being because.....look!!! he just landed a punch!!!
