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

[BattlingNelson]

kessler didn't take a head butt till about round 7

Not true. It was way earlier. Perhaps as early as the third IIRC.

Ward is a dirty fighter. PERIOD.

[Medved]

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

[shenmue]

Kessler didn't perform well against Ward, never looked like winning but there was plenty of heat buts by Ward. If this is a clean fight then its a hard fight to call.

I want Froch to win but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Ward outboxes him, i think Froch needs to hurt him and possibly stop him.

Hahahaha.......Gotta love Froch, he tells the truth! I hope Ward doesn't butt him or Froch will have to play just as dirty.

[1000Islander]

Ward dives in and closes tries to eliminate space, land a few shots on the way in, and tie up whenever he finds himself at an uncomfortable distance.

That is what makes his fights somewhat frustrating. As soon as the fighters are in a good position to trade, he darts in to tie-up.

Headbutts are inevitable.

It has worked for him, but, it isn't pretty, and he shouldn't be surprised when a guy like Frock isn't just willing to accept it

[The Hammer]

I just hope the referee isn't crooked.

If he is, I can see Ward getting away with his illegal methods, then Froch retaliating and getting DQed.

[BattlingNelson]

Hahahaha.......Gotta love Froch, he tells the truth! I hope Ward doesn't butt him or Froch will have to play just as dirty.

Good to know that Froch is ready to give instant payback.

[Gino Ros]

Cobra, you are one of my favourite fighters. Don't b!tch up now.

[Gino Ros]

Hahahaha.......Gotta love Froch, he tells the truth! I hope Ward doesn't butt him or Froch will have to play just as dirty.

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

Froch keeping it real on ESPN:

I bet Ward was all like, "butt... butt...butt.

Lets hope the ref will deducts point for foul play, don't want this final to turn into a farce too.
