Andre Ward is going to school Carl Froch

[Rome-By-Ko]

Uh.....yea. I liked him to win the tourney when it was announced. Glad to see that through all of the ups and downs with the tourney that he is in the Finals.

I picked Froch to win and be in the final,we one step away..

You had Froch winning?

I can't see how.

The fight was close, but clear.

Kessler clearly and rightfully won the fight regardless to the venue.

I'd contest that.


Watching live, not scoring, I thought Kessler won. I rewatched 4 times after, scored each time. 2 close Froch wins, 2 draws. Didn't find a way to give it to Kessler.


It's at least arguable for either guy.

We've had debates before on scoring,my view here was Froch landed more clean effective shots which beat out Kesslers punch output..I can't be mad at the outcome tho,close fight imo..I have to disagree that Kessler clearly won..

[King Kong]

Both my dogs are in the final, doesn't really mtter who wins to me.



I'll say this, though. Froch's success has been a matter of evolution within the tournament, seeming progressive improvement and, with every fight, unfurling more, in a number of aspects, than many thought he had. That includes me - even I, as a fan, have been happily surprised to witness that evolution. So, while I expect Ward to win, it also wouldn't surprise me if Froch shocked the boxing world and pulled it out somehow. I can't claim to be able to visualize how he'd do it, how it would look, but I wouldn't be shocked by being shocked. I almost expect it at this point.

I simply cannot see that.

Rob McCracken told Froch he lost after the fight and Froch's face tells the story knew himself he lost.

We'll have to agree to disagree because on my card Kessler was the clear winner.

Close, but clear.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Uhmmmmm.....they both faced Kessler.....one of them won and one of them lost...

Yea and one fought at home and the other on the road,Ward might have been DQ'd in Kesslers homtown..

C'mon, they've both clarified this. They knew they 'lost' because the fight was close on Kessler's turf. They failed in putting it beyond contention, which they knew they had to do. That's not really relevant, though.


Yeah, we can disagree. And we will. I believe Froch was the winner of that fight.

[Mike Haynes]

He sure is going to school him.....Headbutt 101, Principles of Clinching for No Reason, Advanced hitting after the bell.....

ward aint that good imo. let me know when he takes a fight that isnt at home for a change.

Um, first off, the Froch fight is in Atlantic City.

Second, I really don't understand all the criticism directed at Ward for fighting in his hometown. Has he received any advantage from the "hometown judges"? He's dominated every fight he's had in the super six. Froch on the other hand DID receive a gift decision against Direll.
