    Rico,you know we cool(even though you hurt my feelings when you didn't list me
    in the posters you wanted to stay:|:lol:) but you don't like Froch,and I suspect that's why your post starts well but descends into showing how you feel about Froch.

    Most of us know that Ward wins,but Carl was superb tonight and Ward handled that interview very poorly.

    Which interview was that? I only saw the HBO one. Didn't see what he said to Sky.

    But yeah, you're right, I'm not big on Froch and don't rate him like most others do. And honestly, I don't think he looked that good today. First three rounds he was excellent (with that jab). But as soon as Kessler adjusted, he was made to look his normal self. It was pretty much the same fight as the first (although I did enjoy this one a lot more), except Kessler had declined to the point where Froch could overtake him. There's a reason why both Ward and B-Hop are chomping at the bite and competing with one another to get in the ring with him.

    In the Sky interview,he got all nippy about coming to the UK,and TBH.sounded a bit bitter and silly,but he pulled it back a little bit at the end saying he'd talk to Eddie if the offer was right.
    Then Jeff Powell(who I bitterly dislike) said it would have to be Vegas because there's not enough to pay Froch in Oakland,and Ward will probably demand too much to come over(which shouldn't surprise anyone)
    He'd turn down a CHPD to come over here.You could tell

    Definitely. He'd only come to the UK if he's given stupid amounts of money. Which of course won't happen. Hearn won't be willing to dish out that much for a fight that will end up being a borefest and risk damaging all of the good work he's done for Froch in the UK.

    So yeah, I agree with Jeff. Makes sense to stage it in Las Vegas - where Ward can continue obliging his HBO contract.
