I think Froch does better in a rematch not because I feel hes improved, I really do believe he had a bad night, it happens. Sure he was motivated & all that I just don't think he really got going.
I think Ward wins a decision but I also think its a fair bit more competitive should they fight again and I would be rooting for my boy Froch.
Froch v Ward in the UK is definitely a different fight. I do feel that Froch really feeds off his crowd & understandably so. No other fans generate the X factor (not related to the shyte show) that UK fans do.
I'm not saying that Froch would win, he might even get so geed up he gets careless & kayoed. I just think that we'd see a whole different fight.
Ward does have a difficult style to overcome though & his win over Dawson will have done wonders for his - already over-brimming - confidence so maybe he'd be the one who'd leave himself open.
There's enough questions for me, added to the fact that Froch had his best spell at the END of their fight, to warrant a rematch in the UK.
And a Ward win there would truly seal his dominance.

Based on what...beating Yusuf Mack?
Ward STOPS FROCH IN A REMATCH! And NO Ward does not have to go to Nottingham...he is not the one seeking revenge, Froch Is, had Froch won the first fight then yes Ward would have to go to Nottingham, but that is not the case at all, Ward DOMINATED Froch during their first match up so if he wants revenge then he has to come back to the US again and GET IT! If not then stay in Nottingham and fight more Yusuf Mack Quality Fighters!
I find it curious that some posters on NSB are staunchly opposed to the idea of Ward fighting outside of the US, against ANY fighter.
I, for one, would like to see Ward v. Kessler II (in Denmark); Froch v. Kessler II (in the UK); and Froch v. Ward II (in the UK).
Froch is a beast, you got to give him his respect. A rematch would love to seee, and big money in nothingham. Make it happen./ And I do think Froch destroys Ward in the rematch.
Right. Because Froch has given you every reason to believe he would destroy Ward in a rematch.
Cause that's an honest fighter unlike that p*ssy Ward who drains his opponents. Ward was the better man that night, that's all.
Better man =/= Better fighter
LMAO-you do realize that Yusaf Mack hasn't fought at SMW division for around 5-6 years-He has been at LHW....
I like Froch,but it is hard to say Ward weight drained Dawson,when Froch fought a guy out of his weight class....
So funny I forgot to laugh, and I love Frochy. Sorry brah, stopping Mack doesn't prove anything at all when Mack has been blown out every time he's fought a remotely decent fighter. Ward dominated Froch the first time around with ease and with his dominant hand broken. Not to mention Ward is still improving and is just now entering his prime, Froch is 35 and is starting to come down from his peak. Froch arguably beats all of the other SMW's though, just not Ward. Froch has absolutely no chance, he could barely lay a glove on Ward, and when he did Ward brushed his shots off with ease, actually Froch seemed more affected by Ward's punches then Ward did his.
I don't get how people think a fight that was completely one sided would be closer in a rematch when you consider the fact that Ward is only getting better and Froch can only decline from here on out. Not to mention, IF a rematch even happens, it's not going to happen most likely for at least another 1 1/2-2 years from now given Froch's rematch with Bute and Kessler and by then Froch would be nearing his 40's and Ward would be at his absolute peak, and Ward's already more or less insinuated his next fight could potentially be his last at 168.
Ward is 28 and improving while Froch is 35 and getting older. Ward won the first fight clearly so I see no reason why he should not be favored to win a rematch. I am not a Ward fan but he is an excellent fighter with to much speed and skill for Froch to have more than a puncher's chance to win in my opinion.

Better man =/= Better fighter
Who did Ward Drain??cause in the post fight interview after the Dawson-Hopkins fight Dawson offered to fight Ward at 168
They could go ahead and set up a ring in Buckingham Palace and let the Queen of England herself ref the fight...Ward still beats Froch.
I would watch that. The Queen has huge boobs. :banana:
I see it being a closer fight, but Ward would raise his game further still. It might be a 116-112 (to Ward) kinda fight. Ward might put Froch down with an early flash knockdown. Froch would punch his way to winning a few rounds.
Hes got a chance, those last two rounds were a little shaky for Ward, If he can get the action going earlier and walk him down abit faster he might be able to break him late. This is very unlikely cause Ward is probably the best p4p fighter in the sport right now
Ward STOPS FROCH IN A REMATCH! And NO Ward does not have to go to Nottingham
Exactly. You Ward fanboys know the truth. If Ward travels to Nottingham to fight Froch then he never leaves.
:crucified
HAHAHA

So why did he lose the 1st fight and even say that the 115-113 scorecards were to close?

Better man =/= Better fighter
