    You didnt miss anything .....
    Arthur threw F.A , and Ward landed a similar amount .

    On the other hand , Glen Jonson and Carl Froch should be a flat out - toe 2 toe battle .

    looks like abraham has been exposed in his last few fights and been found wanting.

    Agreed with Wild Dodger, the fight was poor enough, Andre Ward was always going to win this one, pop off with a few combinations while Arthur did the square root of **** all.

    Carl Froch is actually one of my favourite fighters now, his resume is pretty stacked recently and he comes to fight 99% of the time. At the very least it'll be interesting.

    He's entertaining for sure, but i can't see him beating Ward unless it's a screw job, like the Dirrell fight, or Ward picks up an injury. Ward nearly has it all in his arsenal- he can box or brawl, if needs be, and he can also take a punch. The only thing he doesn't seem to have is ko power.

    Froch should beat Johnson. Although Johnson is the kind of guy that could cause Froch problems, especially if Froch has one eye on the final already.

    Yeah Ward has it all really, he could easily go down the route Direll did and just pick him off from a distance, not get caught up in any scraps and he'll win comfortably enough

    Ward reminds me of Floyd. He is a quality opertaor who never loses the cool and never over exerts himself. Very calculating, patient , and most of all, disciplined. He doesn't get carried away or careless. Never being lulled into a war or made to become over confident and risk getting countered by a KO shot.

    He did dominate Arthur throughout. Good all around display. I expect Froch to press Ward hard, and that should make Ward up his game to compete. I predict a great clash of styles and a close affair.

    Hope Froch comes through against Johnson because i could see a really good fight between himself and Ward. Ward has ability but i'd fancy Froch to walk through his shots and get some shots off of his own. Should make for an entertaining fight.

    AA was shocking btw. An intimidating middleweight definitely but now unable to bully opponents he has little else to offer.

    I think Ward will be far too good for Froch providing Froch beats Johnson.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,380 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    Considering Ward outclassed Kessler, i can't even seen Froch making it a close contest- well it might be for the first few rounds, but then i see Ward pulling away. Ward will pick Froch off from the outside, Froch will miss a lot, and in the process be made to look fairly crude, and romp home to a comfortable points win.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,986 ✭✭✭Spazdarn


    Ward will win it by 3-4 rounds I'd say...

    We're all presuming froch will get past Johnson here , and he probably will .

    But should johnson win this , it would lead to a horrible style clash for the supersix final .
