By Scott Gilfoid: World Boxing Council (WBC) super middleweight champion Carl Froch was seen training hard during a sparring session with knockout artist Tony Bellew on Sky Sports Ringside the other day trying to get ready for WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KO’s) on December 17th in the Super Six tournament finals at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Froch wants to win badly you can tell, as he complained about wanting but not getting James DeGale to spar him. But is it really worth it all these gyrations Froch is going through to get ready for this fight. Sometimes it doesn’t matter what you do. You can train like a dog, eat the right foods, have the best trainer and have great sparring, and yet you still lose.

I think that’s going to be the case for Froch. You have to start with great talent in your body otherwise you’re facing an uphill climb. Ward is just blessed. The guys got amazing hand speed, cat-like reflexes, fast feet, and a serious mind that absorbs everything that’s taught to him. If you were to build the perfect fighter from head to toe, it would be Ward. He’s like a computer.

Ward doesn’t forget anything and he’s got amazing physical tools that he was born with. We saw what Ward did to Mikkel Kessler in 2009 when he just make a monkey out of him in one of the easiest wins of the Super Six tournament for Ward. Later on, we saw Froch get whipped by the same Kessler.

That gives you a pretty clear idea of what’s going to happen to Froch on December 17th. He’s going to be getting hit with shots that he’ll see coming until they’ve already landed and he’s going to look like’s fighting in quicksand all night long. I see this as Ward’s easiest fight of the tournament, even easier than the Kessler and Allan Green fights. Froch is too slow, too limited and too robotic to win this fight. He’s going to get humiliated big time in this fight.

What can you do, though? The past has already shown us what Froch will likely do when he starts getting spanked royally. He’ll probably go ape and start throwing Ward around. I really hope not, because not only will it look bad for boxing fans to have to watch Froch lose his composure, but it won’t work because Froch will get points taken off. Remember, this fight is taking place in the United States, not Nottingham, England.

Froch won’t be able to get away with body slamming Ward and/or bludgeoning him with rabbit shots, and holding and hitting. If Froch resorts to those measures, he’ll lose points and quickly get disqualified. I hope that doesn’t happen but the past has a way of repeating itself sometimes. I think Froch can deal with getting beaten, but I think if it gets beat real bad like the way it was in the Andre Dirrell fight, we may see Froch go primitive and star fouling like mad dog.
