Froch Tells Ward: Don't butt me like you butted Mikkel Kessler.

[BattlingNelson]

That would be to Cobra's disadvantage. Ward is a better inside/dirty fighter than Carl is.

Agree. Froch should just hit him in the nuts the first time Ward crashes in head first.

[IMDAZED]

Froch will be in a world of trouble if he's unable to dominate from long range.

[Turbo B]

Yes, Ward only won that fight because of the head butts.

It wasn’t because Kessler had absolutely no reply for every aspect of Wards game; speed, accuracy, skill, craftiness. If this fight had happened in Denmark, Mikkel would have lost every single round before winning by DQ.

That's true. Inside is Ward's game. And Ward is so fast that he'll get there no doubt. And Ward has do that. Froch has a telescopic reach so it'll be ****** to stay on the outside. Furthermore Ward, Im sure, noticed that Froch isn't as effective when forced to fight on the back foot as he was against Kessler.

So Ward WILL move inside a lot.

Yep - I suspect that will def be the plan as well. I love this fight - can't wait!

I'd laugh my ass off if Froch butts Ward back.

- there was a deliberate headbutt in the third that cut Kessler, and Mikkel wasn't the same after that.

- Goossen's shady referee Jack Reiss was admonishing Kessler during the fight and in his corner between rounds for nothing, to confuse him and throw him off. Kessler was fighting two men that night - and Reiss permitted Ward to foul as much as he wanted.

(the contract for the Super Six stated NEUTRAL referees would be used, but Goossen's California man Jack Reiss was in there).

- before the fight, there were a lot of head games from the Ward camp, for example Kessler's gloves being questioned, even though they knew there was nothing wrong with them

lmao yeah, on the bridge of the nose

At least Froch is bringing this to public attention, there are some out there in boxing who would like to pretend it doesn't happen in Ward fights

[Gino Ros]

Asking Ward not to headbutt and clinch is like asking a Fish not to swim underwater

Welcome back, Medved.

Are you going to tone down your David Duke impersonation?

Yes, and it's very important that Froch brings it to the public's attention - there's a LOT at stake in this fight.
