By Scott Gilfoid: WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (27-1, 20 KO’s) will be watching the Super Six tournament May 14th fight between WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (23-0, 13 KO’s) and former IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (32-2, 26 KO’s) intently to find out more about how good Ward is and to compare how he does against a common opponent, Abraham.

Froch recently defeated Abraham by a lopsided 12 round unanimous decision last year in November and now Froch wants to see how Ward does against Abraham. Abraham and Ward will be battling it out in the semifinals of the Super Six tourney at the Home Depot Center, in Carson, California.

In an interview at livefight.com, Froch said “He [Abraham] only has to land that money shot once and it could turn the fight around. It will be interesting to see Ward against a common opponent. We both fought [Mikkel] Kessler under significantly different circumstances, but this one will hopefully reveal more about out standings in the tournament.”

Yes, there was a huge difference between Froch and Ward in how they did against a common opponent in Kessler. While Ward totally schooled Kessler in whipping him by a 11th round technical decision in November 2009, Froch struggled with Kessler and got beat last year by a 12 round unanimous decision in April. The boxing world saw that Ward was the superior fighter and now Froch wants to see it again with Ward vs. Abraham. The thing of it is Abraham was already badly schooled by Andre Dirrell the fight before Froch, so whatever Froch did with Abraham was more of a sloppy seconds type thing.

Dirrell basically softened up Abraham for Froch. Abraham has no chance of beating Ward, and I think Froch is going to be disappointed if he thinks the Ward-Abraham will be close or if there will be an upset in this fight. There won’t be. Ward is going to dominate Abraham and eliminate him from the Super Six tourney. Instead of worrying about how Ward does against Abraham, Froch needs to be worried about trying to get by his next opponent Glen Johnson on May 21st. I’m giving Johnson an excellent chance of beating Froch and sending him packing.
