Comments Thread For: Froch: Ward Brings Little Revenue, Kessler III is Priority

[Earl-Hickey]

Ward thought winning the super six would make him a star, it must be frustrating that nobody cares about him still.

I'd be down for Froch kessler 3, the other fights were entertaining and close, why not do it again, it'd make a lot of money again too

Maybe ward can carry one of frochs belts? Get a feeling of a big fight atmosphere?

[BattlingNelson]

I'd be keen on a third fight. Kessler WAS carrying an injury going into the fight and it wasn't as wide a victory as some make out.

It'd be good entertainment and makes financial sense for both fighters.


If not, Ward can rematch Kessler in Denmark, and Froch can face off with Groves, DeGale, Stieglitz or Bute.

I need some confirmation on that injury. So far it's only hear-say and circumstantial evidence.

What injury? Haven't heard about that?

Has there been any news on it?

Nothing confirmed, other than he had to stop sparring a week early. There was a rumour going around, apparently coming from a source in MatchRoom/Sauerland (and heard by a few boxing journalists after the fight), that Kessler was carrying a leg injury.

Can't be any more specific. It may be BS, but it would explain his lack of balance throughout the fight.

Yeah, its strange that nothing has come out. I've heard it from several different people.

Hmmm... Odd that nobody has put it in an article yet.

Maybe we'll know about when Kessler returns from his vacation. Then again maybe he won't tell.

Hmm.. this is the first I've heard of it.

I wouldn't like to make any excuses for him at this point. Froch was the better man on the night. And everyone would be twice as fired up for a next summer showdown between the two warriors, than any fight including Ward.

Bat, did you check out Floyd Mayweather's "best I've faced" on this thread?

i dont buy that no ones cares about ward anymore i think the dawson fight changed that and the numbers will prove it for his next fight

[KJB]

Froch is baiting Ward as much as he can because he is still sour about Ward handily getting the best of him. He also is avoiding the rematch because he knows it would happen again.
And you Kessler fanboys are amazing. The guy was beaten by a better fighter, let it go. If there is a third fight, Froch wins again.

I don't want to see a 3rd Kessler fight at the moment. I'd rather see Froch go and fight Stieglitz for the WBO then fight Ward or Kessler again next year.
