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

[The Noose]

Drug testing is good for the sport.

Suggesting people are cheats with no prior record or affiliation of cheating is bad for the sport.

Exactly..... It's almost obvious, since he's had months and months to bring the subject up about testing. But I doubt Ward will even bat an eye at the backhanded accusation. He'll probably just say if Froch wants to pay for testing, his blood is ready.



You forgot the Froch "on the road" excuse... "If I lose a UD, it's because of bad judging". He's got all of his excuses lined up now, if he loses.

@ J-ros - I agree, if Ward has popped off about better testing, then he should take this opportunity to do it, even if Froch doesn't insist on it being contingent for the fight to go down. . . but what about the costs? it is more to it than just "manning up"; im sure that **** ain't free. . .

@ Lorily and the dude he quoted - Yes, it's just mind games IMO. . . I don't think Froch would delay/cancel the fight because of it, or I doubt he will use it as an excuse if he loses. . . Froch is just trying to get Ward fired up in an attempt to draw him into "stand and trade" type fight which will favor Froch.

Zakly, Nellie.

Listen, the Commission has a vested interest NOT to catch cheaters pre-fight.

Exactly. So this should be a shoe in since Ward has called for it himself.

C'mon Carl, what exactly are these PEDs meant to do? Make your head harder and reduce your power to feather fist standard?

If Conte is giving Ward PEDs, they are not working.


Mind games by Froch to unsettle Ward, seems to have unsettled his fans and some.

Complaining about certain things like this after contracts are signed is disrespectful as hell. If Froch felt strongly about this he needed to bring it to the table before contracts were signed. Ward is obviously clean and working with Conte, a dude that is under a microscope is a good idea. Froch is complaining a lot lately and chances are he will lose to a kid that was supposed to be green and didn't beat anyone. How quickly a year changes things.

Ward is one big proponent of drug testing.He would willingly take the test right now.

That's funny because he didn't take it with Green. Nor did he take with AA, when they asked for during negotiations.

And, AA, with Saurland promotions do these type of random blood testing. In Saurland promoted events.

Like I said, it's one thing saying you will do it. It's another thing to actually do it. Pac team said they will do it. But, haven't done anything, not even come close.

These are just mind games, not actual demands.

[BattlingNelson]

Not sure who exactly, but considering his past and the HISTORIC Negative Impact He Made On Sports...I guarantee somebody is watching him closely...ESPECIALLY the athletes he is working with like Ward, Nonito and Berto

Nobody is watching him and all the athletes are looking for is an edge. Conte gives them that edge.

Yep. Time for Ward to put his money where his mouth is.

People like to ignore the fact that Ward fights in a lower weight class than he did as an amateur who had barely matured as a man.

A guy who was taking PEDS would have put on a couple pounds of muscle over the past 5 years dont cha think? Probably would't be fighting 10 lbs lower than he did as an amateur, but hey that's common sense that most of you don't have right?

All of the other Conte athletes who were taking illegal substances sure showed an obvious change in their physical makeup.
