Comments Thread For: Froch Will Be Ordered To Fight Stevenson By The IBF

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BoxingScene.com has been advised that the International Boxing Federation will issue an order on December 26th, which directs their super middleweight champion Carl Froch (29-2, 21KOs) to begin negotiations for a mandatory defense against Adonis Stevenson (19-1, 16KOs).

Froch's promoter, Eddie Hearn, will either begin negotiations or request an exception to go forward with a planned March/April rematch with Lucian Bute. If the exception is granted, then the IBF will order the winner to face Stevenson or vacate the title. But, there is a section in the IBF’s rules where a mandatory defense holds weight over a rematch.

Maybe it's just to hard to figure out but why not make Ward and Froch fight?? Top 2 fighters in the division?

Did you start following boxing yesterday? They already fought and it wasn't close.

So Ward is so great that nobody deserves to fight him?

He'll just have to KO Stevenson before Bute, then.

Froch is terrified of Adonis. LOL. Cobra has bigger fish to catch, and not much time left before sunset. I like Stevenson, but a 12th round stoppage of Donovan George does not suddenly make him a shot caller.

Doesn't make much sense. Bute's rematch clause should surely override this.

Yeah because Froch = everybody.

Yeah because Froch = everybody.

He is no. 2 in the division isn't he?

Froch would probably prefer to fight Stevenson in Nottingham and hold onto his world title than travel to Canada to fight Bute, a fighter he has already beaten.

ADONIS STEVENSON is all wrong for FROCH.......styles make fights,FROCH can't take this young strong lion that come to fight at this point of his carrer,ADONIS is too hungry.
