Comments Thread For: Froch: I'm Not Happy About Ward/Conte, I Want Testing!

[WESS]

Obviously you have no idea what you're talking about or maybe don't know that Saurland has it that his fighters and opponents take random blood testing? Could that be it?

Why would Suarlnad pay for Floyd and Mosley? Why pay for Floyd and Pac?

Why are you bringing up Floyd, Mosley, Pac in a Ward situation? That's the most disturbing thing out of all this.

I'm talking about testing in general, player.... reason I brought up Mayweather and Mosley who tested.

Now stop and imagine that this is not the first time someone has asked Ward for this test.

And, instead of starting to wonder why Ward hasn't done it by now. People start talking about Pac and his fans in a way to distract S.O.G pretty much downright refusal to take test, Even though he has said numerous times that he welcomes it.

The problem is, what excuses did Ward give and how many? Thats the difference.

So again, What if Andre Ward said no and gave 8 different excuses (like Pac) as to why he didn't want to test?

Andre has been working with Conte since 2009, why is Froch now suddenly acting surpised about it? Does he seriously want us to believe that he didn't know who Conte was? If we, the average fans, know who Conte is AND that he's been working with Ward for years then how could he not know? Why would he wait until his fight with Ward is almost here to act like he's suddenly concerned about it? Why not bring up his concerns BEFORE the tournament began? It's just mind games. A PRE-excuse if you will.

I really don't think Ward would have a problem with taking some blood tests before and after the fight, but why wait until the fight is almost here to suddenly voice his concerns about it? It comes off more as an accusation then a concern TBH. Just like what Pascal did to Hopkins - in the middle of the pre fight promotional campaign. As I said before, it's just more mind games and a way to try and rattle Wards cage a bit. Carl already said he wasn't impressed with Ward and that he basically doesn't punch that hard.

If they do end up doing blood tests, and Froch loses - it will set him up for another post fight excuse to add to Carly's list.

excuse #15 -

"I lost because the blood testing really did weaken me." J/K

Side note: I like Froch as a fighter don't get me wrong, and he does bring it when he fights. It's just his super sized ego and his tendancy to play the poor me bit that gets tiresome. While he was waiting for the judges scores after the Kessler fight, he said "Those bastards are gonna steal it from me." He already knew he lost, but was already blaming it on the judges BEFORE the scores were even announced. He said numerous times, if the fight had been in Nottingham he would have gotten the win, which can only mean he thought the judges would have given it to him because of WHERE he was, and not how the fight played out. And remember, this is the same guy that throughout this whole tournament has threatened to quit atleast 2/3 times since the whole thing started. A few of his complaints have been legit (Ward never having to go outside his comfort zone), but threating to quit if you don't have a private jet pick you up at the last minute and take you to Denmark is a bit of a Diva move IMO.
