    it's big money for ward, cos there's not too many options for him out there....

    as far as doing it in the uk, the money won't be as good.... they've got put big money on the table for ward.
    Ward will destroy froch, i agree. Kessler is faded. Nowhere near where he was when he fought calzaghe. Froch still had trouble with him at times. I'm impressed with froch's chin and work rate. That is about it. Kessler should retire.

      I know you can get 10 8 rounds without knockdowns but I didn't see one in this fight.

      Most are Froch fans. I disagree, it's not the end of the world. Looking forward to seeing who he fights next.
      Even Ward said it was a clear win for Froch along with the ringside boxing journalists. Are you for real? Idk what fight you watched but it wasn't Froch vs Kessler II. I agree the 118-110 card was BS aswell. I thought it'd be a Majority decision for Froch with the third judge scoring it a draw. No way in hell Kessler won the fight though, the furthest you could stretch it is a Majority Draw.

        Ward wants Froch on the Wembley -- he just said it...
        A huge bore on a huge purse...

            The scorecards were an absolute joke. How anyone could have it more than 2 rounds, that includes Jim Watt.

            Looking at the judges scorecards Kessler was beaten before he entered the ring.

            I don't ever want to hear anything from Froch's mouth about the first fight coz he just won a far tighter decision than in Denmark.

            Now Hopkins or Ward.
            lmao. You're hatred for froch is way too obvious now, you must be furious and the only person too think kessler won that. A draw maybe but kessler win no way.

              I think the commentators said it, but who else is a big money fight for Ward? Ward has no one to tango with and will be criticized for fighting anyone less then elite level.

              On the other hand its universal that Froch was completely outclassed by Ward, so much so that no one would truly criticize Froch if he passed on a Ward fight and Froch continues to fight being the big money man with 2 belts.

              I think the bargaining chips are in Carl's possession, Ward needs the Froch super fight more then Froch needs the Ward super fight.

                  I disagree and that's the thing about boxing. I watched it with 4 lads that work with me out here - 2 had to kessler, 2 had it Froch and that's how I thought most would view it.

                  There were a lot of rounds that could have gone either way which could have made it for 2 rounds to Froch, 2 to Kessler or a draw seeing how you scored them.

                  Like I keep saying - it's done - we don't agree - end of. Froch's got the decision - they're not going to reverse it on the back of my thought so you can relax.
