Carl Froch vs Andre Ward II ----- who u got? Rematch In Nottingham,UK

[wave]

froch himself showed no interest in a rematch with ward during the interview him after the bute fight

he knows he can't beat him

[ironmike2012]

Bet the farm on Ward, Froch would be better to fight Kessler and let the Ward loss go. He is too slow to beat Ward. Ward wouldn't come to UK anyways.

They could have this fight on the moon with only Nottingham residents flown up there for the fight and no Americans allowed. Ward would still win. Different league.

Now Kessler-Froch 2, that will be a good fight. Kessler has faded and injuries have taken a toll. I would favor Froch in that one now.

[jazluvr]

Ward would beat him again.

[lefthook2daliva]

It would just be a worse beating than before because Andre won't want it to go to the cards if he's in Nottingham.

Ward by late stoppage.

[ma51f]

Ward still beats him with a wide UD

Froch puts a better performance but i would still expect ward to win quite comfortably

[Broken Dreams**]

hopefully everyone would think froch would win, including the bookies,

id then put £100 on Ward and make a killing.

Wards hand picture needs its own thread.

[S H A R K B O Y]

Nothing changes, whatsoever.

You do realize that Ward was fighting with a broken left hand right? That wasn't Ward at his best at all. It's not like he broke it during the fight either, he broke it 2 weeks before the fight even began but still went on with the fight. He said it hurt so bad in the 6th that he could barely even throw it. Froch landed some flush shots against Ward but it just didn't phase him.

That was Froch's one and only chance to beat Ward and he still got schooled. A fully healthy Ward completely shuts him out and might even drop him once or twice. It's just a terrible match up for Froch.


Ward's hand after the fight:



A broken hand like this can take 6-8 weeks to heal.

holy****t, ward beat maybe his nearest competitor with one hand..

duno if mayweather cud pull that off, holy ****.

when im watching ward, i no im watching a great athlete

You guys aren't tired of making this silly little argument?

Do you know how big america is? The distance between Oakland (Ward's real hometown) and Atlantic City is about the same as the distance between Nottingham and Cairo. I guess Egypt should be considered Froch's home turf.

You guys can't seriously be suggesting that Ward didn't have home advantage fighting in his own country? Just because USA is a massive country, they still fought inside the USA. The size of the USA is irrelevant, Ward still fought at home.

Talk about clutching and straws. A direct comparison would be like saying if Froch vs Ward happened in Scotland, instead of England, then neither Froch nor Ward would have home advantage, even though Scotland is still a part of the UK (but technically it's a different country to England).

I think some hardcore Ward fans must be really embarrased that he's had home advantage so often they're trying to imagine that another part of the USA is somehow foreign land just so they can say Ward didn't have home advantage. Sure, if Ward was fighting another US fighter away from Oakland then you can say it's not home advantage. But he fought a UK fighter on US soil, he obviously did have home advantage. . You guys surely can't be that desperate as to try and claim that it was somehow neutral territory, even though it's the same country Ward was born, while Froch was born in a completely different country.

You guys are funny.
