Andre Ward vs. Carl Froch: Super Six World Boxing Classic Final Live Results and Play By Play

Posted in Boxing classes | December 19th, 2011

Join Will Cooling tonight for live coverage of a long-awaited and many behind final of a Super Six World Boxing Classic, as a WBC Champion Carl Froch faces a WBA Champion Andre Ward in Atlantic City. The thought of German promoters Sauerland, Showtime’s innovative fighting contest kicked-off on a 18th Octobr 2009 with Arthur Abraham knocking out Jermain Taylor and Carl Froch outpointed Andre Dirrell in a close, controvesial fight.

That was a final time Froch fought in his home city of Nottingham, England carrying afterwards left on a universe debate that’s enclosed stops in Denmark, Finland and America. He forsaken a tighten preference to Mikkel Kessler in a quarrel of a tournament, demolished Arthur Abraham in a career-best arrangement and decisively outpointed Glen Johnson.

By contrariety tonight will be a will be a initial time that Ward has fought outward of his homestate of California given Jun 2008. He repelled a universe on 21st November, winning a opening stateside quarrel of a contest opposite a strange favorite Kessler. However that quarrel was injured by accusations that he led with his head. While he has amassed a serve 3 wins and stays a usually undefeated warrior in a tournament, his swell has been injured by him being a usually warrior to not quarrel outward his home nation and a questionable withdrawal of his crony and former training partner Dirrell from their designed hitch final year.

Controversies aside Ward is in my mind a fit favorite to win tonight, a settlement formed on his higher technical skills as a former Olympic bullion medalist and Froch’s prior problems with slick, American fighters such as Dirrell and Taylor.

Incidentally we was during a Froch vs. Dirrell fight. Here’s a design we took on my camera phone that night:

Round One

Froch holding a core of a ring from a start, unequivocally needs to settle a left poke that so dominated Abraham. They mixed on a inside and Ward lands a revelation blow. Referee separate, and Froch is somewhat some-more tentative. Ward removing punches by early on. Froch’s defenses looking unsuitable to relating Ward’s speed. Froch catches Ward with a good left poke though misses with a furious left hook. Froch being strike sincerely simply on a nose in this opener. 10-9 to Ward.

Round Two

After gripping it purify during a inside exchanges in a final round, Ward clinches adult a integrate of times early on. Not many justification of him disposition with a conduct so far, instead he’s doing a good pursuit of unctuous in juicy discerning punches both left hooks and leaping-in right hands. Froch perplexing to quarrel carefully though a not unequivocally working. He does do some good work on a physique though gets held by a clubbing counter-left. Fights by it though doesn’t do adequate to save a round. 20-18

Round Three

Froch tries to pull on during a start of a round. Froch looking to be some-more assertive on a inside though Ward is usually so quick with his jab. Jim Watt on Sky’s Commentary creates a good indicate that Ward has taken assign in a core of a ring, a one thing that Froch would not wish to happen. Froch unwell to chuck a combinations that he did opposite Johnson, usually throwing singular appetite punches that are simply countered by a quick Ward. Ward is looking super-impressive here and puts an exclamation symbol on another successful turn with a nasty shot to a body. 30-27.

Round Four

Froch seems badly harm during a start of Round Four after entrance off a worse in a quick sell of punches during a start of a round. The Brit unequivocally is starting to demeanour unkempt in there with a former Olympian usually interlude him ascent any offense while alighting tough shots during will. One of a things that has always been considerable about Ward is his upper-body strength and he shows that again by successfully bullying Froch as a sell adult close, frequently pinning a WBC Champion to a ropes and alighting some good brief punches. 40-36.

Round Five

More of a same in a fifth turn with Ward usually outboxing Froch with ease. He does seem to be negligence down a bit that narrows a advantage though whenever Froch tries to mountain some offense he has some-more than adequate appetite to rebuff a Brit. 50-45

Round Six

They bind again with Froch unresolved on though Ward removing a right palm through. Froch unequivocally is being outmuscled on a inside that is denying him any space to mountain offense. He doesn’t have a speed to quarrel during operation opposite a quicker American and he doesn’t have a strength to quarrel inside opposite a stronger American. The usually wish would be either he has a appetite to knockout Ward though if anyone’s going to get a KO a going to be Ward. Ward is alighting some good punches, with that left offshoot being quite nasty. 60-54

Round Seven

Ward traps Froch on a ropes during a start of a seventh and unequivocally shows critical vigilant to get a finish, aggressively alighting large punches on a inside. Ward is constantly putting himself within a ‘Cobra’s’ strech though a Brit can't get anywhere nearby him. Froch looks visibly sleepy as Ward picks his shots beautifully. The turn ends with Ward once again bullying Froch adult opposite a ropes. 70-63

Round Eight

I’m perplexing to remember a some-more biased vital compare this year. Even something like Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley had Sugar obscure his competition with successfully disastrous tactics. Froch seems to be mentally violation as another turn goes to Ward in many a same approach as all a others with Froch angry about a series of illusory slights including an purported low blow and a punch that came in a separate second after a bell. 80-72

Round Nine

Froch tries to force a quarrel though he usually can’t get over a unaffected defenses of Ward, with a American always means to quarrel glow with fire. Ward usually always manages to bond with beautifully assembled punches that locate Froch on a chin. 90-81

Round Ten

More of a same. Froch usually can't do anything with Ward. The quarrel has followed a same settlement given a second turn with Ward dictating where a quarrel takes places and alighting punches (most particularly left hook) during will. This is a heartless schooling. 100-90.

Round Eleven

Ward is clearly sleepy after environment a good gait for many of a past 10 rounds though Froch usually hasn’t got a appetite to gain on a drop in his opponent’s performance. Froch bustles inside a integrate of time though usually can't frequently land purify punches, withdrawal Ward to browbeat a territory. 110-99

Round Twelve

Froch needs a knockout. Froch starts out fast, and positively seems a stronger in this final round. Froch puts together a flurry though a cut brief when Ward drops his gumshield. Froch doing a unequivocally good pursuit in this final turn though can’t put together a appetite punches to bluster a knockout. Ward realizes his that he’s in a conflict finally, resorting to some of a reduction instructional strategy he’s used in progressing rounds. Froch being unequivocally assertive though a too small too late, generally as Ward has easy his equilbuim and is fighting improved towards a finish of a round. Froch’s turn to save a shutout on my scorecard though a extensive better for a Brit. Ward outclassed, outfought and outthought Froch in there tonight and deserves a victory. 119-109 on my scorecard.

The scorecards 115-113, 115-113, 118-110 for Andre Ward. we have no conceivable thought how somebody could find 5 rounds to give to Froch – we could see a evidence for 4,7,11 and 12 though any of them is unequivocally pushing. I’m already second guessing giving him a twelfth. What a ridiculous set of scorecards that put us usually one turn divided from one of a worse robberies in a sport’s history. And bizarrely a usually decider to measure it right was a British one!
