    I'm not British lol. And I already said I'd expect another Ward win if they fought. I'm just saying things could be different with Ward fighting on enemy turf. The crowd reacting to every thing Froch throws can sway the judges and could put him in a hole early in the fight. Ward could feel that pressure of being down on the cards in enemy territory and press to make something happen and **** could get interesting. I don't think Ward likes to fight in hostile territory and hasn't because more often than not, you need a KO to win and he can't KO anyone at the top level.

    So let me get the gist of what you are saying:

    British Refs and Judges are so ****, they can't score fights nor do they know how to conduct a boxing match differently from a UFC match.

    Thanks that clears it up greatly.

    Ward needs to go travel, All the other fighters in the super six had to do it, Ward had home comforts all the time. We've seen many an American fighter go away and totally bottle it. Who is to say that Ward wouldn't do the same as some of his glass hearted compatriots.

    Different ball game when he's be up against a hostile crowd against him and Froch would be pumped fighting at home. Froch mentally is never beat, you can be sure he would carry that to the end. Can Ward? We just do not know what kind of stuff he is made of. It takes a very courageous fighter to step in to the lions den and tame the crowd as well as the home fighter. So far Ward has shown NO willingness to go away yet, where as Froch win or lose has been on the road for a good few years.

    If Ward wants respect he'll fight a big name away from home and show the world that he's a fighter who does not fear adversity and can mentally overcome being taken out of his comfort zone.

    I'm saying home cooking exists, home town crowds can sway judges and a rematch could play out differently in Froch's hometown.

    It doesnt matter where the bout is held, Ward is too much for Froch and I'm pretty sure he knows that

    So you believe so little in Carl that the British Judges would need to cheat to give him the victory. And somehow that hollow robbery does anything for Carl's career.

    Whether a hollow victory against Ward does anything for Froch doesn't really matter. I don't like either guy, so I could care less. All I'm saying is a rematch in Froch's backyard can play out differently than the first fight.

    He would be allowed to wrestle rabbit punch and hit on a break like he was doing against Dirrell other than that I dont see how any changes would occur.

    Probably. I'm sure you seen Dirrell vs Froch. If that fight wasn't in Froch's backyard, Dirrell UD's him

    Ward is a class act and would dominate Froch again.
