Froch vs Ward - who do you pick?
« on: December 17, 2011, 06:04:37 AM »
The super 6 tourney didnt exactly turn out the way many thought it would with all the withdrawals, but the two best fighters are left I believe.  Froch has incredible will power and can take a punch, but Ward is the better technical boxer.  Tough one to call but Ill go for Froch with 11 rnd tko, seeing he is a fellow countryman!

 whoose your pick??

I think Ward will dominate, but I like Froch's style better.  Much more entertaining.

Ward will win in a boring 12 rounds unanimous decision!

Clearly Ward has the superior boxing skills, but Froch is a tough SOB, and I'm from Nottingham too, so I'm going with Froch!!

ps...please can someone post a good link?

Frankie Edgar sitting in 3rd row, good to see there is still an appreciation for the sport by even some of the MMA champions.

You make it seem as though boxing is under appreciated by the public.  The ratings suggest otherwise.

Not at all, i was referring to MMA champions as it isnt very often you see MMA stars / champs (even the ex boxers) sitting at ringside & vice versa. I wouldnt say it is under appreciated but it is definitely in decline (like alot of sports), it needs things like the Super 6 to garner interest again because there really arent any great rivalries out there in any division.

World wide boxing is thriving.  Only in America does it seem to be relegated to a cult sport.

Pacquiao/Marquez did 1.5 million buys here in the states which is phenomenal. 

I think the bulk of revenue promoters receive is from the US market, although I know that fight broke Mexican ratings for a boxing match, but was broadcast on free tv.

Ward is seriously good.  Too fast, too clever, uses some rough tactics too, reminded me of Mayweather a lot - amazing defence.. Hes like a supermiddleweight version of Mayweather... We could be seeing something special here.
