k but lets not knock joe unduly, we should be proud of our brit heroes, no matter how poor their resumes.
Oh hey you! Any coincidence you started a thread talking about Ward and Froch right after I made mine?:think
CONSIDERING the broken right hand... yes. The hypotheticals can go the other way... i.e. with two healthy hands, Froch doesn't even connect on Ward once. How d'ya like those extremes yall.
:deal Froch fans are bitter that no matter what he did before or after the Ward fight, they all know who the better of the two are and that Froch is not on Ward's level.
at least froch did not go yellowbelly like Nathan cleverly, and actually came back stronger rather than fizzling out once his dream of thinking he was the best disintegrated like when nath got exposed at world level.
I went to both of Carls NJ fights in the S6 The Glen Johnson fight had a wild atmosphere the British fans were a lot of fun and there was a passionate group of Miami fans rooting for Glen as he would land some hard right hands and it was a fun fight Going into the final the British fans in the Casino had the same high spirits like they did in the Johnson fight, very excited ready to cheer their guy on. The crowd was into it when Kell Brook stopped his opponent early in the undercard and when Froch entered the ring. After a round or 2 there was a dead quiet in the arena. Ward controlled that fight, I couldn't see more than two rounds for Froch. In round 7 or 8 people were laying back in their chairs, we all began discussing Bute vs Ward because we assumed it was next Froch got dominated inside, he got dominated outside. When I rewatch this fight I feel like Froch underestimated Ward's strength and that he thought he could bully him like he did Andre Dirrel and when Ward gave it back to him inside and was able to wrestle and punch inside it made Froch more cautious. Eventually Carl found a range he could be successful from but it was too late. When they read the 115-113 card, robbery was the first thing I was thinking but when I heard the wide card I knew there was no way Froch could have got it
I am not Froch hater, but I gotta say you are revising history there a bit. Froch hardly bullied Dirrell, he just chased him around the ring the whole fight hitting air. It was an appalling fight.
