to say the froch who fought pascal would have given ward a tougher time shows you dont know anhything about boxing. if you cant recognize the incredible improvement froch made since then i question your judgement on anything boxing related. i mean come on, seriously? froch is a diffrent class of fighter now than he was then, he arguably improved more than anyone in boxing. its like saying khan or pacquiao was better pre roach or wlad was better pre steward. ludicrous.
also wards stamina is very good, hes just a smart fighter. he knew he wasnt gonna knock froch out and he knew he had the fight won so there was no reason to take risks.
it was a great performance. he might not have schooled froch the way calzaghe did lacy or hopkins did pavlik but guess what, he wasnt in there with pavlik or lacy. ward wasnt in there with a hypejob like lacy who never beat a single quality fighter in his career or a one dimensional kelly pavlik. he was in there with a fighter who proved himself to be one of the 2 best 168lbers by fighting the best over and over, having the roughest string of fights in boxing. a fighter whos never been soundly beaten, is known to find a way to win in any scenario and belonged in the top 10 p4p. ward might not have outclassed him but he clearly outboxed a real beast which is much more impressive than hopkins' or calzaghes aforementioned wins.
When a guy starts with "Just shows you know nothing about boxing", it really just shows how insecure a person is about his boxing and about himself.
It was a one sided affair and I'm a Carl fan. Ward made him miss all night, caught him constantly with quick, accurate punches and dominated when the fight got inside. Having watched it again only last week, it was every bit as one-sided as I remembered it being.
