ward is a chameleon. against bika he would hit and then hold. against Green he just plain mugged the motherfucker. pushing him against the ropes, pinning green's arms with his shoulder and then landing. Against Kessler, Ward would be all the way out or all the way in. Never at the medium range that Kessler needed. He outclassed Froch.

Kessler and Froch-still very damn good fighters. Kessler and Froch-clearly a class above the rest of 168, with Ward above them.

Carl Froch is a legend. Always fights thes best and always tries to win. 2 defeats were close (Kessler wide on the cards and Ward lose on the cards but in reality Ward was wide too) But if Carl won just one more round teh fight with Ward would have been a draw. Considering his level of comp Carl has done what very few in the history of teh sport have done. Constantly fighting elite fighters back to back.

The Canadians must hate Froch. Twice theyve had unbeaten potentail susperstars and twice Carl has took their zeros in style.

Nobody outside of Montreal gives two shits about Pascal or Bute. I'm a Canadian and I was cheering for Froch - I've been a fan of his for a long time.

Boxing is pretty much entirely dead outside of Quebec anyways, I don't think I've even met another Canadian boxing fan in real life. MMA is huge here though.

I was going to post the exact same thing, I've never met anyone with more than a passing interest in boxing really. I was in Montreal last year when Bute was going to fight Jesse Brinkley -of all no hopers- and saw posters up all over the city, adds on TV etc, I even heard a couple of people mention Bute in the street passing by. This was during the NHL playoffs and all, so it absolutely is a big deal there. Any idea what the last signifigant boxing match that took place in Canada outside of Quebec even was You'd probably have to go back to Chuvalo fighting in Toronto or something, it's just not a big deal here and there are no real Canadian born fighters worth a damn that I can think of. Same is true of MMA really; although its popular all over, the only really good fighters I can think of are out of Quebec, no?

The only people here in Vancouver who even know boxing exists are the Filipino Pacquiao fans and the one Indian dude who used to come to the gym wearing his Mayweather - Ortiz shirt.

I've got to get out to Quebec/Montreal one of these days. I have a feeling I wouldn't leave.

Most of Vancouver doesn't seem to know anything else exists You should make it to Montreal if you can, it's easily the most fun city in Canada from my experience, albeit limited. I stayed with an old friend from high school who lives right on St Laurent, it was the most fun I've had in years. The rest of Quebec is probably worth a pass on your first visit, unless you have something in mind of course.

Fuck Vancouver. Most overrated, overpriced, asshole-filled, perpetually dark city in the history of the world. After living here, I can't even cheer for the Canucks any more. One more year and I am gone.
