well, froch is more dimensional than kessler (although he lost vs. kessler) and if he can evade ward's grappling tactics and lands his looping combinations, he should at least be competitive.
I've said from Ward-Kessler that Andre wins this wide, with maybe a couple scares along the way. The Abraham fight might actually be the worst thing that happened to Froch as he now seems to see himself as some kind of master boxer, and can be way too patient
he will be surprised at how easily Andre counters him and beats him to the punch. Ward's a sharp shooter and while he doesn't hurt you with one punch, he's extremely accurate. I see Froch getting busted up...some from head butts but that nose is a HUGE target. Froch's best moments will be catch Ward moving straight back. That's why I think Froch will move forward and stalk Ward. If he stands center rings and poses he gets carved up.
