Amir Khan has urged Carl Froch to make his mark early in his clash with Andre Ward.

Khan is still smarting from his defeat to Lamont Peterson in Washington last week. Khan was beaten on a split decision after having two points deducted for pushing.

He has admitted he fears Froch may also suffer a hometown decision in Atlantic City and has urged the Brit to make a rapid start in the Super Six final.

"I think Carl Froch has a great chance against Ward, he's going to be up against an amazing fighter and one who's very skillful," said Khan.

Froch's WBC title and Ward's WBA belt are on the line and Khan wants him to keep it simple.

He said: "Froch needs to win the fight early and get in with some early pressure, that's the key to beat a guy like Ward."
