Comments Thread For: Froch: Ward is a Horrible Fight, Rather Face Kessler

[Jloro]

cant blame the guy for picking another fighter who loves to go to war vs a guy who just try to win by points :/

sheyt id pick kessler too if i was him,

i will lose again to ward but who wants a running opponent anyway?

I'm pretty sure Ward does not run away at all but okay.
Boxing is more than slugfests guys

Why do you think smaller gloves would be detrimental to Wards style, and have you ever been punched flush with a 10 oz glove on top of a well taped fist? No pillow case trust me

Boxed for 5 years, my dad was a boxer, his dad was a boxer etc.

I don't think Ward has a chin, personally, but with those pillow cases he can easily cover up and the way he works angles it's hard to actually hit him. Smaller gloves, longer fight, he'll get tired and then he's vulnerable to getting knocked out/stopped.

I'm well aware of the damage 10oz gloves can do though, had my ankles tingle and saw birdies more times than I'd like to admit.

You mean it makes people fight smart and not just try to survive until the opponent is tired to go for a KO?

I mean it promotes boring tactics that wouldn't be sustainable in a 15 round fight with smaller gloves.

oh my bad i mistaken him with floyd coz of too many floyd thread this days lol

but he does clinched alot and doesnt seem to engage in war,

if i was as slow as froch why would i pic a fighter that clinches alot over a fighter that's easy to hit?

thats all im saying...
we all know there is no way froch wins againts ward unless war engage in war with him which is dumb thing to do

Froch wants to see his fans get their moneys' worth, like they did with Froch-Kessler I and II.

Ward makes for dull fights that leave the fans feeling cheated and unsatisfied.

Not this fan. I thoroughly enjoyed his dismantling of Dawson.

doesn't cover up.... have you even watched ward fight.....

seriously.... wtf are you talking about....

ward pushed froch around like a kid in their fight.....

he beat him up on the inside.... ward never once covered up, that's not his style.... he bullies and batters guys and doesn't give them room to work....

that's why carlie's running.

gloves have nothing to do with it.... smaller gloves = froch getting ko'd against everyone he's ever fought.... he should be thankful for bigger gloves, might be the only thing that saves him from brain damage....

ducker? define it?

he's an opportunist.... cos his resume isn't like that by design....

it's not like he chose to take a bunch of hard fights.... he was in the wilderness...

his fight against pascal wasn't even televised live in the uk.... no one knew except boxing fans....


he fought a jermaine taylor who had been knocked out and destroyed by kelly pavlik....

and then jumped into the super six cos it was the only opportunity for him to get paid.....


and now.... he has a legitimate opponent.... and he's ducking....

and not to mention he'll never fight andre dirrelll again either....



it's ducking.... dirrell, ward..... froch don't want it.... add george groves.... and james degale to that list....

terrible post.

you say he didn't choose to take on hard fights well after beating pascal (which was live in the uk btw) he chose to go straight to the states, when he could have alot of money fighting in nottingham, and fought jermaine taylor for his first title defense when he could have stayed at home with an easy title defense. And by entering the super six he knew he would be fighting top fighters and he could of pulled out if he wanted like some of the other s6 fighters did but he didn't he fought through every tough challenge taking place in 4 different countries.

After losing the super 6 final to ward he went straight for, what was considered a very hard fight and superior opponent, lucian bute. After his first world title stay busy fight against mack he then avenged his defeat against kessler.

to say he's ducking groves and degail who have done nothing is laughable

It's harder to smother with smaller gloves then larger gloves. Which is what Ward does, he smothers and works angles so he never gets touched. It's boring but effective, it also leaves him vulnerable late when he gets tired though.

no body wants to see Ward rematch unless we get a referee who cuts down on the holding Froch won't have much of a chance

[Apple Mac Stud]

"Ward is a spoiler, messer, he tricks his way through a fight and gets the win"

Translation, "Ward is too versatile, well schooled in close, too physical, too good defensively and he's very tricky as well. I'd rather face Kessler who stands within punchers' range, doesn't work angels, absolutely no inside game like me-self, and is slowin'"

I like Froch but please save us the bullshit. I don't care for the rematch but why the need to insult Ward when he was all praise after Ward humbled him.

Lol, great translation
