There's nothing to be positive about until he fights a live body. There's plenty of gatekeepers wanting a payday out there. He doesn't have to suddenly go for a klitschko or anything.
I think most Americans will tell you that they he deserves more time because he started boxing at 20. His bronze medal doesn't matter, his promotional contract doesn't matter, all that matters is the development of his career. His career doesn't get developed by taking a harder fight against a guy he isn't ready for and getting KO'd. He needs to learn. He will be given time. Americans don't expect anything out of him anyway, so if he gives us something, that's just extra.
The WBA is a joke with super and regular champions. The WBC is a joke with champions in recess. The IBF is a joke with their rehydration clauses (if it's that big of a deal, do a same-day weigh-in) and stripping on belts before unificiations (Cotto-Margarito I, Cotto-Clottey, Bradley-Alexander).
Hay douche bag, try watching the fight and scoring it yourself instead looking at compubox stats or listening to the bias commentary.
Punches have to land to score douche bag.
He broke some knuckles maybe a finger big fcking whoop,thats boxing comrades you get hurt,i will say he won that fight by at least 5 points,but to point out obvious injuries makes him look like a bia to me.
I think it shows the reality of the sport. They're not playing golf out there.
well since it seems highly likely that froch and kessler will probably rematch ward in the next year i thought it would be interesting discussion.
None of those Eurobums will ever get to share the ring with a legend like Ward again.
i thought froch won by 1/2 rounds againsts kessler, but could see it being a very close decision.
Both fought ward and lost badly. My fav route for froch is rematch kessler and then try and do a better performance against ward. Starting on getting a better inside game.
Logically...
Froch-Kessler II
Ward-Bute
Winners fight each other
Also have to fit Dirrell in there somewhere.
Maybe Ward just fights Bute and Dirrell before moving up.
Things like this are why the IBF is the most ethical of all the sanctioning bodies. They follow their rules, regardless of who they piss off.............
They like to strip guys if they try to unify the IBF.
is he seriously using the if alvarez fights bums my son should be able to as well excuse?
He is. The supposed Greatest Mexican Warrior of All Time is saying, "Hey you let Canelo fight cupcakes, why can't we do the same thing?"
"Do you know who Julio Jr.'s father is?"
"Haven't I done enough for Mexico to earn 2 years of cupcake defenses for my son?"
Mexico will always remain pathetic above 135 pounds.
they both need to stfu and face somebody worthy of a mention..
they are two of the most protected fighters today.
Sergio Martinez is begging for a shot at either of the top 2 P4P fighters in the world.
Amazing how HBO approves Dzinziruk, Barker, Macklin, but they didn't approve Zbik(probably the best out of the ones I mentioned) which led to Martinez getting his belt stripped. They picked up Chavez Jr.-Zbik though. And Chavez Jr.-Manfredo.
Hopefully shit changes with Hershmann but it's not looking that way.
canelo isn't gonna become a household name by fighting guys like kirkland
mosley is still somewhat famous and would make canelo in return a bigger name
kirkland is exactly the type of fight that would make canelo a household name. have you ever seen kirkland fight? or do you have no faith in canelo?
im soryy ...just NO ....ward can not
not even compare to bute in drawing power
just noo...this guy is the worst promter
worst crowd i ever been at this past week in a.c.
The crowd sucked because Froch sucked. Froch is the one that had fought in AC before. Ward fights on the complete opposite side of the country in Oakland. See how the crowd is there.
Is this Guerrero's way of staying in the public's eye by putting interviews of him on a boxing forum instead of actualy fighting in the ring?
Guerrero is another American that will start cleaning up soon.
I'd still like to see him fight Maidana. Easy work.
Wasn't aware that a score was needing to be settled between these two.
Ward barely likes to leave Oakland. Seriously doubt the will leave the U.S.
Ward has left the U.S. twice and he's fought all over the country.
There was 5000 fans for Froch-Ward. In Montreal Bute-Ward would fill the Molson Centre around 22000 fans.
If Ward wants to claim to be #1 , he as no choice to fight Bute.
And would not be a walk in the park for Ward.
How many fans would show up for a Bute fight in AC? Less fans than would show up for a Ward fight in AC.
