FROCH should begin drumbeat for rematch with ward now!

The first fight was no where near competitive. It is as pointless as a Bute/Froch rematch in vegas.

 

Froch would probably not beat Ward. Styles make fights. Bute had a great style for him. I honestly believe Froch should move to 175 if he can and make some more history. Dawson would be tough for him, but he did already beat Pascal didn't he?

 

Well, if he's a warrior then he'll want to be the undisputed master of the division. Irrespective of tonight's result he can't at this moment claim this, so I agree he should try and make the fight.

 

I don't see much interest in a rematch quite yet. This Bute win is probably the biggest win of Froch's career and does start the ball rolling towards a possible rematch but its too soon.

Froch is going to have to get another significant win or two before there's some real interest in a rematch. Doing it at 175 would help stir up interest or if Ward lost, but if its at 168 again and Ward is still undefeated then Froch is going to have to keep beating top fighters to get most people interested in a rematch.

 

Nothing he can do to beat Ward at this point, he'd have to learn how to fight on the inside. Ward can beat him on the inside and outside, but he'd have to get some more skill to beat Ward, to be honest. His strength and chin wont give him the victory.

 

That would be fine, but it would have to be in England.

 

I agree it should be in England.

 

I LOL'D at the bold part. Froch also isn't beating Ward...doesn't have the necessary tools.

 

ward would beat him everytime, ward is the most complete fighter in the game next to floyd and hop

 

yeah that aint happening Ward won the first fight easy. You dont get your ass kicked and then get a home fight

 

Fine with me, Ward won by 117-111, With such a huge win he deserves rematch.

 

A few random thoughts....

1) Less than 5% chance Andre goes overseas while he's unbeaten.

2) I'm glad Ward fans weren't around in decades past because many great rematches the sport had would've been dismissed as pointless. I don't know why fans can't comprehend how a 2nd fight with world class fighters could go differently. Unless Ward's moving up to 175 permanently, Froch is still the next highest rated fighter. A rematch could make sense in the future.

3) Guys who are usually hometown fighters taking risks and fighting in the other guy's back yard is something we should all be rooting for because we can get more big fights made that way. The more we tear down the visitor when they lose, the more fighters won't want to take that risk. And that means fewer big fights for us.

4) It's tough to win in the other guys' back yard. Going back to the Super Six tournament and including this fight, the home fighter never lost. Guys who can win on the road against world class opposition deserve the extra credit and probably don't get enough of it.
