    Maybe he shoulda thrown more right hands. Feels like he barely did. Props to Ward for fighting with that, dude is one tough S.O.B.

      I was begging him to use his right anyway. Froch was open for a straight right all night.

        That looks painful.

        Just makes his performance all the more impressive, not only technically brilliant but also tough as nails.

          Seriously. He coulda countered Froch with a right hand after Froch threw his slow ass jabs.

            Ouuchh! Looks like a knuckle injury. Must have been painful.

            Hopefully he doesn't need surgery.

              Puts Haye's little toe injury to shame lol

              Credit to Ward, he fought really well and even more so with a broken hand.

                I knew something was wrong with him in the late rounds, he sort of abandoned his jab and was more defensive and looked a bit tired.

                I felt the same way, I don't know why he didn't shoot the right hand up top more often, Froch was wide open for it. Maybe he didn't wanna get countered by Froch's own right hand.

                  landing repeated left hooks on a head as hard as froch's is bound to hurt after a while.
                  how come injuries like this don't affect certain fighters whereas they apparently ruin others' fights altogether?- ie haye? ah, haye's was just a bull**** excuse.

                    I'm shocked I haven't seen Freedom in here saying something like "No face, that's not really his hand" or "Hollywood has makeup artists that can make such a photo look real" like he did for the cut.

                      i've alwayts wondered why wards gloves are so big they look like they came out of the novelty section of title magazine


                      its those little hands of his...


                      man, the kid can box, though

                      he was ****ing froch around with that hook with a broken hand, too.
                      what a monster he is.

                      when he stands orthodox he has no pop on his right hand either.


                      kudos
                      nice long rest
                      heal up
                      and then we're all counting on you to whip up on bute
