    Tune up - Librado Andrade :deal

    Not a big risk but can't fail to be an entertaining fight :yep. However, does Froch really need a tear-up before fighting Ward? :lol:

    Are people genuinely suggesting Ward is in someway 'Avoiding' the fight?

    I don't see Froch taking a tune up because he's not at that age where he needs to be fighting for sake of it. He just wants quality bouts and his style doesn't help make things easy. Against Johnson he held back some of his work due to Ward watching so i think he will sit it out and go back to camp ready to fight Ward.

    I've just came into a bit of cash. I was looking last night at travelling over to this and was a bit wary as its not like a football match- one injury and the vent is ****ed. Thank **** I never booked anything!

    I instinctively agree with you, but you never know what sort of offer someone might put to him - if he gets the opportunity to fight a marketable opponent in Nottingham/UK for good money this side of Christmas he might just be tempted. Doesn't have that many top earning years left in him, after all.

    Good Point, It's a hard situation to be put in.

    Reading the report, it sounds like Saint Ward just began bleeding on his own.
    It's a sign from god that he wants him to fight in Oakland.

    Was listening to radio5 earlier & they said he had a hand injury.

    Is there any basis to this or just the BBC making a mistake?
