The Night Andre Ward Decimated Froch

[@CYMotorsport]

Can’t deny Froch’s chin is granite. Ward absolutely peppered him in the final my god.

[@yourlegalassistant]

Froch got wobbled or dropped in many fights. Pascal, Taylor, Kessler, Dirrel, Ward, Groves all rocked him.

[@johngreenhorn8853]

​@@yourlegalassistantHow many of those stopped him ?

[@yourlegalassistant]

@@johngreenhorn8853 granite chin is someone GGG or Bivol. Who never wobbled. If a soft puncher like groves put him down, Canelo would have taken his head clean off.

I remember this fight clearly and thinking at the time that Froch was anything more than an average champion who basically got schooled. In hindsight I realise that Ward was a very special talent and of course that fact he made Froch look very ordinary was a testament to his ability and nothing to do with if Froch being bad. He was a future hall of famer and that don't come easy

So you want more rounds so that the boxer you are rooting for will win? Got it, but that's not how it works. Frock knew the fight was for 12 rounds. Maybe, some of andre ward's fans may want the fight to end at 8 rounds, giving him even a wider margin of victory.

[@elnick1000]

Ward rightfully won the fight, but what is wierd, I gave Froch the last two rounds, which some others did as well. But John Stewart gave the last two rounds to Ward. Had Stewart done the same as I did, He would have given his card to Froch. Also Keane, who had the widest score of 118-110 was from Britain. What was so funny for me was that after Froch got his revenge against Kessler by descision, the announcers from the USA asked Froch who he would want to fight next between Kessler (a third time) or Ward. Froch answer was, that it a tough one. Found that funny, as one would think that he would want to et revenge for his loss to Ward.

[@design-dwg5785]

I think he knew that Ward had his number and that fighting him again would likely result in a loss. I don't think he had the confidence of taking on Ward again after how one sided the first fight was. Froch would have also wanted the fight in the UK and Ward would never have agreed to that.

[@design-dwg5785]

Ward basically schooled Froch in this fight. He had superior boxing skills (no surprise as Froch was never known for his slickness in the ring) and it felt like he was nullifying Froch all the way through as you were watching it. Froch appeared more and more helpless as the fight progressed and Ward never looked hurt at all. Having said that, Ward was always boring to watch, he was a pretty dirty fighter and retired relatively early which is probably why nobody really speaks about him when discussing the greats. I'd be surprised if he was any neutral's favourite fighter tbh.

[@davidandrews5510]

I rated Ward highly as a boxer. One thing that irked me though is that he is the only fighter in the super six tournament that didn’t travel abroad to face an opponent.
