I went Froch to win (obviously 
). Seriously, though. I don't think it will be easy for either guy. I think Ward probably starts as favourite. He's the skillster and Froch is the powerful boxer who has less skills. I don't think Froch is a bad boxer by any means though. Most fans i spoke to before the Abraham fight (especially Brits) all had Abraham decapitating Froch. How wrong they were. And some say Taylor outboxed Froch for 12 rounds. Well, a boxing bout lasts for 36 minutes maximum and not for 35 minutes and 45 seconds. Ward is a skillster and has also shown he can mix it up a bit like he did in his fight with Sakio Bika. Froch can also get into a scrap (Pascal, Kessler) or box clever (Abraham).
I'm going Froch by points (probably split decision) and a knockdown might prove to be the key point in the fight.
I hope Froch stays busy in this one. I think he might try to outbox Ward and that could be his downfall. Froch is a pretty decent boxer as he showed against Abraham and Johnson but he does take a lot of punches and Ward is more skillful. I hope Froch doesn't get lazy and just throws his punches flimsily like he sometimes does. He's going to need to be at his best. But the same can be said of Ward too. Whoever wins is my p4p ranked number 5 in the World just below Floyd, Marquez, Pacquiao and Martinez.
