By Scott Gilfoid: WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (28-1, 20 KO’s) and WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KO’s) is one of those types of fights that doesn’t matter where it takes place. They could put it on Jupiter or Pluto and Ward would still win it. On October 29th, Froch is going to get royally whipped and it doesn’t matter where the fight ends up, Froch is going to lose.

They could even put the fight in good old Nottingham, the home of Froch, and he’d still get humiliated in David Haye fashion. We’re talking different levels here. Froch is good fighter that struggles against quality opposition. We saw that when Froch was put in with the talented Andre Dirrell, and we saw it happen again when Froch got out-classed by Mikkel Kessler last year. So, the Froch vs. Ward fight is likely to take place in Atlantic City, New Jersey. But it won’t matte. Froch is too slow, too robotic and too elementary with his defense to beat a talented fighter like Ward.

You got to have the ability to block punches to beat a great fighter like Ward, and Froch doesn’t have that. He blocks punches with his chin rather than his gloves or his arms. That’s not going to get the job done against a guy like Ward. He’s going to be bouncing shots off Froch’s lantern jaw all night long and it’s going to be sad to see another British fighter get exposed after the shame of Haye’s loss to Wladimir Klitschko.
