Earlier tonight at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward added the WBC bauble to his collection with a convincing unanimous decision over Britain's Carl Froch.
The fight marked the finale of Showtime’s Super Six tournament as Ward’s solidified his standing as one of the sport’s most versatile and well-rounded champions. He outclassed the highly-confident Froch on this night, as he was simply sharper in all areas as well as possessing the speed advantaged and bullying his 34-year old foe on the inside with his physical strength.
After twelve heats, scores of 118-110 and 115-113 twice were read in Ward’s favor as he improves to 25-0 with 13 knockouts. Realistically the latter tallies were closer than they should have been, as Ward appeared to clearly win at least nine rounds.
The future is bright for the Oakland, Calif. resident and he can now look back on his time in the Super Six with great recollection. It’s unknown who he will be facing next or whether a move up to light heavyweight may make sense but it’s clear that we have a bona fide star on our hands.
