"things weren't right in Atlantic City"

He is class and I understand the TV Networks and money in the US will probably mean there's very little chance he'd cross the pond.

He's not an entertainer or character by any means so marketing him cant be easy, I'd suggest building a re-match with the US Son Of God good-guy travelling into the bear-pit of Nottingham to fight a re-invigorated, trash-talking Englishmen ......... would do wonders for his profile and make for the sort of story the Yanks would love.

I don't know if I even want to watch Ward/Dawson

 

If Ward stays at super middle and so does Carl and they both keep winning, at some point they will fight again.

Saying that with boxing you never know haha.

 

Froch needs to fight guys like kessler, Pavlik, Pascal

these are all really exciting fights

 

/thread

 

Ward won't leave Oakland to fight Froch , zero chance of that happening IMO Carl should concentrate on avenging the Kessler loss here in the Uk .

 

Ward vs Dawson is one for purists for sure . If Ward steps out of comfort zone and takes Chad on at 175lbs i'd be more happy with that fight.

 

:huh hate to break it to you he as fought two of the three you mention kelly brings nothing to the table except a girls name :yep

 

What makes you think they havent?

 

Sums it up. Fair play to Froch last night, outstanding. But Ward.... is Ward. SOG mofo too damn good unfortunately.

 

I'm hoping Froch won't pursue a rematch with Ward, but the warrior that he is, he will want to revenge the loss.

I'd like to see Froch/Kessler II at the City Ground, then move up and fight Pascal...If he gets past Cloud.

 

yeah he was against a complete fighter with great footwork


opposed to a overrated B cass fighter with flat feet & a stationary target !!!!!!

 

things werent right in atlantic city triffic winegum nose u cost me 17k cos u had a row with ur bird

 

It feels weird to doubt Froch after he proved most wrong last night but he could fight Ward 10 times and he would lose 10 times imo.

 

2 options i`d go for are Kessler rematch in Nottingham or the winner of Abraham - Stieglitz seeing as theres another belt involved.

OK a few have pointed some things out , 1 is when froch respects his opponent he fights much better and uses his skills, 2 A rematch with ward down the line Froch will fight a better fight, although most still dont think Froch could win.

The prob with froch in the Ward fight was he was flat footed, yet against Abraham he was on his bike in and out, cos he respected Abrahams power, also Froch was trying for the Big punch and winged loads of punches taking longer for the gloves to reach Ward giving Ward time to avoid, whereas as we just saw Carl based his stratedgy on hand speed with volume straight up the middle and then varied his punches.

I think Carl learned his lesson against Ward, but if they meet again he will have much more chance of connecting if he does what he did against Bute and keeps the pressure on Ward more, ( yes i know Bute isnt Ward but his plan against Bute would be a better plan overall against Ward than in the 1st fight) also ward was getting tired near the end of their fight.

Before Carl got in the ring i saw the look in his eyes and knew he meant business and sure as hell showed it.

If ward wont come out of his hole and fight abroad fair enough, even if he is better technically he wont get the respect world wide that Froch does. Wards a bore, Froch Sells!
