    I've just got a big dose of displacement anger: You know the type of anger where when the boss yells at you then you go home and kick the family cat, lol!

    Was really looking forward to this. Very dissapointing indeed.

    Can the venue be changed for the next date?..just bit suspicious of this news tbh.
    I don't think Ward fancies this fight at all away from Oakland..

    Cheers Mate, Tbh until he said the camera's were there that sounded like biggest load of **** i've heard. He seems adamant it will be in fight camp 360 so we can only wait and see.

    Seems strange though that Hearn just said on Sky that he was speaking with Ken Hershman in the early hours of this morning and nothing was mentioned.He got up this morning and still only Wards twitter is the only thing said about it being off.
    Considering the showtime crew was there why havent they let Hearn know?

    Oh never knew that, that's interesting looks like Ward's up to playing up. They've never been happy about this fight and never liked the venue and Hunter recently been coming out with 'Froch is dirty' i think they are genuinely threatened by this fight. Froch's confidence is quite scary :lol: he seems so adamant he will win.

    These things happen, we don't know the real circumstances behind the cut. But if the fight gets relocated to oaklahoma there will be uproar and rightly so. I dont think Froch will fight ward if the fight gets moved there.

    Froch can take a tune up fight if he wants, its in the contract that he is allowed to.

    Any talk of a tune-up fight for Froch has to be quashed.

    Ken Hershmann and Eddie Hearn need to go to Team Ward and set a deadline. I don't doubt the legitimacy of this but due to the scale of the fight a little bit of pushing needs done. Froch can't wait forever considering he was already in "animal mode" when I interviewed him last week.

    As for a tune-up... who?

    Calling Kelly Pavlik

    Not a chance. I can't see Hearn and Froch allowing their man, as WBC champion and finalist, going to the other guy's home town.

    It's Vegas, the Garden or randomville like Dallas etc
