    Froch showing the respect Ward MADE him show.

    Seems he's forgotten that beating.

    I'm neither a fan or hater of Froch. He's good for boxing. He's old school. But, Ward humbled Froch in their fight. Froch had no choice but to accept defeat humbly.

    It just seems strange Ward would instigate this twitter squabble. Sounds like two little girls fighting online.

    And the boring argument is getting a little boring lately. I can understand fans saying it because some don't know how much skill it takes to be a boxer vs a brawler. But when a boxer says it, he's basically acknowledging he can't beat the other boxer.

    It was a close fight

    Ward did not put a clinic on against Froch at all. Just rewatched.
    Ward looked more composed than Froch, which gives a better impression of control, but try watching the fight without any commentary or sound, and you can see why the judges watched a close fight.
    Ward was leaning and holding which isnt a clinic, like many would like to dream it was. Ward definately didnt close the show.

    Rewatched and scored.


    Round 1 . Even round
    Round 2 . Ward
    Round 3 . Even
    Round 4 . Ward, full of holding and leaning
    Round 5 . Froch, clinical finish to the round
    Round 6 . Ward, close round
    Round 7 . Ward, full of holding and leaning
    Round 8 . Ward, full of holding and leaning
    Round 9 . Froch, tough round to call
    Round 10. Ward, tough round to call
    Round 11. Froch, but Ward holding and leaning
    Round 12. Froch

    A close win to Ward but not a clinic,

    A SMW clinic was Jones/Toney, Calzaghe/Lacy, Kessler/Andrade, etc

    Ward seemed to be struggling at the end, as he did against Bika and Froch is an old SMW.

    Ward should show some balls and offer to fight Froch again outside the US and see if Carl takes up the challenge.

    :deal exactly. So Wardtards need to stfu about what a beating or ass whopping it was. Because it wasn't and anyone who thinks it was YDKSAB.
    Wardkke is boring as ****, went life and death with Bika and ducked the **** out of Bute :lol:

    Froch won 2 rounds. End of story.

    Don't let no notorious troll tell you different.

    Froch told his girl that Ward was "too slick" after the fight it is on camera

    why are people making out it was some kind of lacy vs calzaghe beating. it wasnt, it wasnt at all. it was a clear win for ward though. I do think that if froch beats kess convincingly then he deserves another shot at ward. and i will stay up and watch it for sure.

    froch seems to have addressed the slow starts that caused him problems a few times ir ward, kessler 1, taylor. id love to see a rematch, you have to hope fighters like froch who take the big tough fights get rewarded by getting these type of opportunities.

    well i do anyway because im more of a fan of the fights than the boxers. then again if your a homosexual dickrider, the type this forums full of, i can understand why you wouldnt want to watch it.

    Ward beat Froch fair and square but this Twitter spat reeks of jealousy FROM BOTH PARTIES. I'm sure it still frustrates Froch, knowing he lost to Ward, but right now Froch is the more talked-about, the more fan-friendly, and that undoubtedly irks Ward. Can't help but think he's not helped himself with some things, like his reluctance to fight away from home and his beating a drained Dawson. Minor points, but they leave room for criticism, which he could so easily have negated.

    Carl Froch was schooled with one hand the daft ****, put a glass eye to sleep ? There was probably periods in that fight Ward could have gone to sleep.
