Comments Thread For: Froch To Ward: I'm Not Vacating, I Dare You To Travel!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Last week, the World Boxing Association ordered their 'regular' super middleweight champion Carl Froch to face the 'super' champion at 168-pounds, Andre Ward, in a rematch. The two boxers collided three years and three months ago in Atlantic City as part of the Super Six tournament final. Ward, who reportedly had a hand injury, had little trouble in winning the fight.

Froch recently vacated his IBF title because the sanctioning body ordered him to fight Matchroom stablemate James DeGale. The Nottingham boxer would be open to idea of facing Ward in a revenge bout - if Ward would travel across the ocean to the UK for the fight.

That would be unfreakingbelievable if Froch beat Ward as his last fight. I'm not holding my breath or anything for the fight actually happening.

Does he want the 3 judges from the Dirrell fight also?

Take it, Ward. You've been begging for this rematch and it's way more money in the UK anyways.

(it was only 2 of the judges but still )

Dude lost the 1st fight and now wants it at his home turf? Fine, he can get it they just gotta put up that bread for Ward, lion's share. Carl must want to get dominated in front of his people. So much for that Vegas fight he dreamt of...

Froch is the draw. Where are they going to fight instead? Atlantic City was a ghost town for their first fight. The fight makes commercial sense in the UK

I'd be shocked if Ward traveled. I can see it happening in Vegas.

"They talk about Andre Ward, I don't want to fight Andre Ward, he will probably beat me on points. I'm a fighter I don't mind saying that. If I didn't knock him out he would beat me on points. That aside, he's not a big fight. American TV do not want to show him on box office, why do I want to fight him? There's no point."

Ward needs his hometown ref that lets him clinch.

the first fight Froch actually came back and won some of the later rounds. without a neutral ref that goes by the rules, Ward could lose this fight.
