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

Froch is normally a clean fighter. You gotta love that he'll pay back when the rules arent enforced.

That is the warrior mentality I love about him. He may lose, but nobody is going to push him around like a punk.

Never liked Froch, but I'm really coming around.
I even think his previously oh so annoying wife is kind of alright.

I like any fighter who takes on all the best, is almost always less talented but almost always finds a way to win. Some fighters are talent and skill. Froch is blood and guts!

i think frochs boxing skills are being underrated, his got some skills, but ward has better skills IMO, i think ward UD, with no butts hopefully

[RubenSonny]

Ward will whoop him, I can't wait.

You guys are making out as if Ward is some evil dictator or something.Its obvious very few of you have boxed before,the guy is in a fight,he leads with his head sometimes-is it breaking the rules? technically yes.does the ref fail at his job for not penalizing it it? certainly,does it make ward a bum and a fraud with no talent because he does it-certainly not.If you aint cheating you aint trying,and this is coming from someone who isnt a huge fan of Ward,but i recognise talent when i see it

[IronDanHamza]

Ward will whoop him, I can't wait.

I agree.

Cannot wait.

i donnt think you guys realise how skillful froch is. Dont get me wrong, ward is a skillful mofo. But froch has a excellent amateur record, bronze at the world championships shows hes very skillful.

Ward an excellent fighter, but his headsbutt were disqualification level, even if you did think he won or not.

Fair play to Froch for that statement. He isnt the type to be a victim. He will fight back dirty if fouled.

As for Kessler - Ward. Everyone keeps saying it was down to Wards superior boxing and Kessler just couldnt handle him. But theres a reason Kessler was so bad. . . He kept getting nutted. Its like when people say Khan won every round vs Barrera but thats because Khan nutted him in the 1st round and the old man was blinded from that point on. Headbutts do change the course of a fight, just ask any Holyfield opponent. Kess was put off his game away from home. He went Oakland as champion and walked into a trap. They had him rewrapping his hands pre fight for no reason, a ref that was against him and an opponent who was allowed to use the headbutts throughout. I think he has learnt his lesson but he didnt apepar to be the fighter he was before the Calzaghe fight.

Lets hope its a clean fight but If I had to make a prediction it would be - This fight will be an ugly brawl full of holding and fouling. Ward gets a hometown decision or wins on cuts.

Gotta disagree my friend. Ward was simply ducking a punch and coming back up in my opinion. I didn't see anything deliberate about that and it happens all the time in this sport.

Nah. Ward was staggered and wildly swings his skull in the direction of Kessler's face. I cannot replay the vid, but as I recall it, it was only Kessler's glove that prevented a violent smash. Dirty stuff my friend.
