Carl Froch does not think Andre Ward has the ability to knock him out in the final of the Super Six in Atlantic City on Saturday night.
WBA super-middleweight champion Ward and the WBC's best, 34-year-old Froch, both made the weight but it is the Nottingham-born fighter who goes into the contest as the underdog.
Froch is 3.00 to win the bout with Ward 1.40 to come out on top.
I do strongly believe - and that's one of the things I told him - that he can't knock me out.

The 'Cobra' said in the build-up to the contest: "I do strongly believe - and that's one of the things I told him - that he can't knock me out.
"He's a very good fighter. He's not a big puncher but I can punch very hard, and I am in the ring to let him know I can punch hard, from round one to 12 if necessary."
Both men have beaten the likes of Mikkel Kessler, Arthur Abraham and Glen Johnson to reach this stage and the fight was originally scheduled to take place in October only for Ward to pull out after sustaining a bad cut above his right eye.
