Don't care to see a 3rd fight. This one wasn't that great to me.

Said he'll beat Ward in the UK, not in the USA.

Yeah 118-110 was BS but the right man won: 116-112, 115-113 were a fair reflection of the fight. Ward would still outbox Froch for me. Perhaps go to Germany, make some cash and take Stiglitz belt before jumping in with Ward again.

I wish there were more options for Froch. He can't really fight anyone else at 168. I guess he could step up to 175, but he's already beaten Bute and Pascal.

Dawson would be a nice fight at lightheavy, I would favour Froch to take that.

Either a Ward rematch or move up to 175. They would no doubt rather fight Dawson than Hopkins, that's for sure.

115-113 to Carl was fair and a minimum for Kessler, you could argue that it could have been closer but I think one judge was watching the fight and did a great job, the lower scores were plain bizarre and obviously biased by Carls busier work rate not necessarily greater accuracy

Hum dinger ............. both guys can write big cheques in their next 3 or 4 adventures, I would like to see Kessler Bute and Carl have another crack at Ward before he calls it a day. will Ward come to the UK is the question?

Well, proper entertainment, the ticket price live was value for money as expected

I think YOU were lost most of the way.. having Kessler ahead..

the thread is still right here. i did not have kessler ahead most of the way.
i didn't have kessler winning at the end, either
one of the judges had it 115-113. another had 116-112. there were a few
close rounds. i said that. you, sir, are a little excited and emotional

Froch on the radio saying he just spoke to Ward and Ward told him 'I'm ready for and I'll beat you again'.

Poor Ward. #1 fighter in his division, yet nobody cares about him. You can tell it bothers him. He gets defensive (what a shocker!) when it comes to things like that.

It would make sense for the Ward rematch to be in England.

Interesting that Rob McCracken totally dodged the question on whether Carl could beat him though, I think even Rob knows the style is all wrong for Froch.

I had it 115-113 Froch

10-9 Froch
10-9 Froch
10-9 Froch
10-9 Kessler
10-9 Froch
10-9 Kessler
10-9 Froch
10-9 Froch
10-9 Kessler
10-9 Kessler
10-9 Kessler
10-9 Froch

Great fight! I could not see it any closer than what I scored. I thought round 6 could have been a 10-10. Thought Kessler might get the KD or KO in the 11th.

Why? he wasn't going to stop it, he was in motion to tell Froch to keep them up after a low blow so it looked like he was.
Only 10 seconds left, let them fight. eff that crap.

Watching it again just now, it was a blatant low blow and the ref rightly and naturally went to warn Froch to keep them up but the action didn't break so he changed his mind, absolutely nothing wrong with what he done.

How many people even bother to go to see Ward in Oakland? Like, 3,000? Less? I have no idea.

Anyway, if I was Ward I would see it as a tremendous opportunity to come to England and put all doubt about venue to bed.

Lenny Cravats · Post by **Lenny Cravats** » 25 May 2013, 19:52

Interview with Ward - Sounds almost apologetic for being a dull fighter. Also pretty much says that he won't come over to the UK.
Personally, I'm not interested in seeing that fight.

If Ward is recovered to form, Froch just does not have the style, skill or gifts to deal with him. But he does have the chin and the heart.

the difference in taxes between vegas and england is night and day.
you need to have a lot more revenue in england to net the same profit.
england also lays claim to the other incomes of foreign athletes outside
an event, which is insane.

Ward is higher rated, Ward already beat him at a neutral site.

Froch can come to Oakland if he wants to lose again.

Yeah, what incentive does Andre have to go to England especially given the tax issue?

EduardosFist · Post by **EduardosFist** » 25 May 2013, 22:38

Ward should get a taste of some hostile grounds. Kessler didn't mind going to the UK for this rematch.

So? Ward beat Froch easily. Ward doesn't need Froch. It's the other way around if anything.
