Look if Froch really wants the rematch he will have NO problem coming to the states, NONE!! There is NOTHING to complain about their first fight NOTHING...Ward just beat Froch plain and simple. There was nothing questionable about it from what I remember...and considering it was a WARD fight Idon't want to remember much. Did Ward get any special privileges fighting at home.... Did the ref help him out? Did the judges scored it for him? Did he get extra time to recover when hurt? IRISH whole deal is that WARD looked tired and was breathing hard in round 10.....okay....and???
I don't really understand why Ward, who won the fight clearly, has to acquiesce to Froch for a rematch. Why? You win, you hold the cards. That's the way it goes. Ward already has the "W". If Froch wants to even that score, he needs to bring that up with Ward. I don't understand why it is up to Ward to aggressively pursue a rematch with a guy he has already beaten fairly in that guy's backyard or anywhere else for that matter.
I'm a Froch fan but I agree with the consensus that he just cannot beat Ward. I don't care to see a rematch, and if there was one, I don't see why Ward would have to come here to have it. He has the win, he calls the shots. It's always been that way.
I dont think that's been a point of principle though (this is boxing, after all), its just that the person with the win usually has more roads leading to him. Froch probably has the more options of the two off such an exiciting win, ironically, in part, because he's much more beatable.
hold on there. the first fight was a one point affair on the card (tought it was wider than that but still). Froch certainly has a chance in a re, but I'd make Ward a pretty solid favorite
I had it pretty wide and comfortable for Ward from what I remember. I don't see much that Froch can do differently.
two of the judges had it 115-113.....So I really don't know why IRISH is crying to much.....Froch got more credit that he deserve...115-113...:notallthere:
oh ok then 1. Froch is light skinned and from Europe 2. Ward is dark skinned and American 3. Amir Khan shot JFK and is responsible for global warming.
I have repeatedly spoken out about the bitchy whiny nature of Carl Froch, and cannot ever be accused of having been a cheerleader for him on racial grounds. Of all the things I might be accused of, that is not one of them. As for Khan, he doesn't generate enough heat to warm a toilet seat never mind the globe, and as for shooting Kennedy, Khan thinks triangulation of firepower is some form of bukkake. Khan needs to worry about what is coming his way, in any case. I have been pointedly a-racial and a-political in my condemnation of this Golden Boy farce.
