What was your point?

That Dirrell deserved a rematch with Carl much more than Carl does with Kessler or Ward. Are you attending the Froch rematch? In your role as provider of the list, surely you will be at one of the biggest fights in years?

You are wrong.

Do you actually know how to score a fight? Have you ever even been to one?

Froch won and he deserved the decision.

Dirrell hasn't fought a world level opponent in three years and his next opponent is Ossie Duran. Dirrell is far less worthy of getting good fights than Froch is.

Are you going to the Froch fight?

I'd rather not tell you.

I don't see the benefit of divulging that information.

I agree with Horse and on this rare occasion disagree with Micky :) ,for me the way Dirrell fought by avoiding the fight with forch didn't earn him anything imo .

My final word on it. I dont really want to see the rematch anymore than anyone else, but think he deserved it by beating Froch, to me, a lot clearer than McDermott beat Fury, and people are still holding that against him four years later! Its not even the fight thats the issue. Its forum favourites getting a free pass. Just like Price went from kncking out Wlad to having a tune up against Rogan in the space of a few hours! Dont see why Horse cant say if he is going to the Froch bill either. I would gladly meet him and whoever else for a drink, just like i did in Munich.

Froch won that fight without barely landing a punch, he was hitting fresh air all night.

Froch beat Dirrell in a boring fight. Why would he want a rematch?

I believe Froch does want a rematch with Ward and I think it will happen.

Your wrong. He and Eddie would not dare fight Ward again, nor Dirrell.

Froch said live on national television that he wants a Ward rematch. Eddie said it too.

I guess you know better than the actual fighter and his promoter.

Give your head a shake.

It coincided with Broner being the next opponent at super-featherweight, so fans like me perceive that Ricky's move up in weight was done partly to dodge Broner. Funny how Ricky made the weight a few months earlier for easier fights.

Funny how Broner made a twat out of himself by not being able to make super-featherweight against Escobedo while tweeting pictures of twinkies before the fight, and yet he could make superfeather before! Yes, let's all jump on Ricky for being the professional one, and it's strange how Ricky has looked better than ever at lightweight

and like Billy says, why should Ricky have to jump through hoops everytime Broner mentions his name? Rickys reply was actually pretty funny, Broner is a moron, and he looked to me like he was crapping his pants when Rios started talking smack to him on twitter

I agree, Broner is a complete moron. I had him losing against PDL who is pretty limited and I would pick burns against Ponce deLeon any day, so I think Ricky is in with a chance.

Ricky has always had a hard time at SFW but like most boxers at a high level, he makes sacrifices to make his weight. Just check his record on boxrec and his weights in early fights.

Dirrell could turn out to be a very tasty fighter, but he doesn't 'deserve' anything. I thought the Froch fight was close. From memory, Dirrell only tried to win it in the 11th. Could have gone either way.

A fair few people, including a few showtime execs, think Dirrell found himself a convenient route out of the tourney after Abraham was DQd. There's no way he wanted to fight Ward, which is a shame cos it would have been/is good fight. For me, that's enough of a reason why he doesn't 'deserve' a rematch with Froch. Besides, their first fight stank a bit.

Providing the money and venue (ie not the f****g boardwalk with hardly any people) are right, why on earth wouldn't Froch want another crack at Ward?

Ward is the business, I honestly can't see anyone beating him, but he should take his title on the road to prove it. Froch deserves another crack at Ward if he beats Kessler.

Yes, he is doing good at the moment. Add Henry's Gym on Facebook if your on it, mate.

Keith, Froch will not want Ward, i dont care what he says. He will never be able to do anything with him and is well aware of it. He is not that stupid. Eddie wont either.

Hope Henry is getting on ok after last year. He was a very good fighter and conducted himself well - he weren't an arsehole.
