Boxing: Ward wins Super Six final showdown

ATLANTIC CITY: Unbeaten Andre Ward captured the Super Six World Boxing Classic tournament with a unanimous decision over Britain’s Carl Froch at the Boardwalk Hall arena. The 27-year-old American dominated the 12-round super-middleweight fight from the outset as he won on all three judges’ scorecards, 118-110, 115-113 and 115-113. With the victory, Ward improved his record to 25-0 with 13 knockouts, retained his WBA title and won the WBC super-middleweight belt. “One of the strongest assets I have is my mind,” said Ward. “I kept my composure and we pulled it off.”
