Promoter Dan Goossen is already going to work on securing a major title shot for unbeaten super middleweight Andre Ward. Last Saturday in Oakland, California, Ward pulled off the biggest win of his career with a twelve round decision over Edison Miranda. Because WBC champion Carl Froch just finished up with his mandatory, and IBF champion Lucian Bute is holding fort in Canada, Goossen will try to make a fight between Ward and WBO champion Karoly Balzsay.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wrong Andre!

no way man. he should go for the WBC title because he is Froch's mandatory and Froch is ranked higher than Balzsay. If he fights and beats Balzsay, Froch might not ever give him a title shot whereas right now, Froch has no choice but to give him a shot. If Ward knows whats right, he'll go for Froch.

Easy title.

Froch-Bute is apparently set for September

I've also heard that Balzsay is pretty good... a Dzinziruk type of fighter, and without a name he is under the radar.

I've seen Froch. Ward would kick his ass for 12 rounds.

"Balzsay is tough fighter out of Hungary, who beat a very tough fighter in Denis Inkin, in a back and forth fight. Inkin was 34-0 at the time from England."

Inkin is Russian and is based in Germany.

I'm gonna be sad when Balzsay loses since he is Hungarian but he doesn't stand much of a chance against Dirrell or Ward.

Dre should fight Froch. Froch has to take him cuz really there ain't no one else. Direll ain't at the top yet and I hear they tryin to get Direll to fight Bika. Froch though is the man and to be the man you gotta beat him.

So was the report I got on Balzsay not correct? I heard he was really good, quick, skilled, etc.

Ward is ranked at the top of the WBC (Froch) and Dirrell is ranked at the top of the WBO (Balzsay)... idk why Ward is trying to **** things up by going after a less notable opponent.

Yeah but Froch doesn't have to do two mandatories in a row, his fight with Bute will most likely happen next. And they want to get that title shot signed b4 Dirrell, if his team is even looking for it
