  • Comments Thread For: Froch's Promoter: Ward Should Have Told Us First!

    To tweet or not to tweet: that is the question: no one seems to know the answer, especially fighters; they are either dropping their breakfast menu on the social networking site or using it to break huge news. Andre Ward, 24-0 (13,) opted to use Twitter to announce that he had suffered a cut in sparring, telling his followers that the wound requires seven stitches and has forced the postponement of his Super Six final WBA/WBC 168lb meeting with Carl Froch in Atlantic City on October 29. Summing up a complex situation in 250 characters.

        Pictures of the cut? I think it would make many feel a lot better about this (not because he's cut, but because the excuse is legit)

            Twitter has been used by many athletes in recent years. Most notably Lance Armstrong so it shouldn't be a big deal.

            I can understand the frustration on Team Froch's behalf and their desire to get a fight in November if Wards injury needs a prolonged healing.

            I remember George Foreman getting a cut in Zaire before his fight with Muhammad Ali. I think that fight was postponed about a month but I'm not entirely sure. Foremans passport was with-held so he couldn't get back to the US as the organizers felt the fight might be put off.

                Froch should leave this tournament. Carl doesn't need this softie primadonna. Ward can't even protect his face in a sparring session. Ward should go back to amateurs!

                    if it needed 7 stitches then i don't think he'll be ready in a month of postponement. reschedule the fight next year and allow froch to defend his title.
