Promoter Dan Goossen said today that the final of Showtime’s “Super Six World Boxing Classic” might be held in Atlantic City on Oct. 29. Undefeated Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KOs), of Oakland, Calif., and England’s Carl Froch, will square off in the championship match of the double-elimination, 168-pound tournament that started nearly two years ago.
The “Sheriff of Nottingham” - WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch - has a huge unification bout against unbeaten American Andre Ward on Oct. 29. Froch, 33 and the owner of a sparkling 28-1, 20 knockouts record, and beat Arthur Abraham and Glen Johnson after losing a close decision in Denmark to Mikkel Kessler, doesn’t buy Ward being invincible.
Former world middleweight champion Arthur Abraham believes that Andre Ward has the tools to take down Carl Froch when the two meet in the final of the Showtime Super-Six World Boxing Classic on October 29th in the USA. The 31 year-old fought both men during the tournament, losing via unanimous decisions and eventually went out of the competition with a whimper having lost three of his four bouts.
According to The Sun, there is a tentative date of October 29th for the super middleweight unification between Andre Ward (24-0, 13KOs) and Carl Froch (28-1, 20KOs). The two champions are colliding in the final round of the Super Six Boxing Classic. Madison Square Garden in New York City has been mentioned as the possible venue to host the fight. Froch is pushing Showtime to stage the fight take place in Las Vegas.
WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch discussed the possibility of facing Bernard Hopkins, the WBC champion at 175-pounds. Froch's promoter, Eddie Hearn, had recently been quoted that he would love to match Froch with Hopkins in the future.
Carl Froch is confident he will 'walk through' Andre Ward when the pair battle it out in the final of the World Super Six Boxing Classic.
Carl Froch advanced to 28-1 (20 KOs) and marched into the final of the inaugural Super Six tournament with a majority decision over Glen Johnson, now 51-15-2 (35 early), in Atlantic City on Saturday night. Froch took some big right hands yet increased his own pace at key moments to take the decision by scores of 114-114, Nobuaki Uratani, 117-111, John Stewart, and 116-112 from Mark Green.
The final bout of the Super Six tournament is finally set. Super middleweight champion Carl Froch and Andre Ward are set to meet in the final bout of the Super Six World Boxing Classic. Froch, the WBC champion, won a twelve round majority decision over Glen Johnson to advance to the final fight, while Ward dominated ex-middleweight king Arthur Abraham for a twelve round decision.
