Thread: Froch vs. Stevenson for April/May time, No agreement for Kessler

Froch vs. Stevenson in The Works For April, May - Boxing News

Gutted .

Apparently it'll either be Kessler or Bute in the fall, so don't expect a Ward rematch this year. I can't understand what the hold up with Kessler is. They'd pretty much agreed money and the fight being in the UK. I'm disappointed. Just hope Carl doesn't train feeling unmotivated for this.

Adonis Stevenson Update

Press Conference to announce this on Friday

I thought this sounded like posturing by Eddie Hearn to motivate Kessler's people to make the fight on better terms. Maybe Hearn couldn't secure the exemption though?

That's a shame, if this is the case we definitely won't be seeing the Froch-Ward fight for a while. I'm pretty sure Bute will get in another fight or two and then would call for the rematch with Froch. Froch will be getting older by this point and might start to fade?

I think the longer Froch puts himself of eventually fighting Ward the better for him. He will have a tough fights with the mandatory, Kessler and Bute in Canada so this year will keep him rich and busy. Either way I think the Ward fight is for next year.

After years of fighting the best fighters I guess he deserves to fight at least a couple of pricks.

stevenson is his mandatory i am quite sure... i also thought that this was a plan by whichever governing body made him number 1 contendor to get the belt back to bute S:.. make some canadian mandatory and threaten to strip froch of the belt if he don't fight him when froch is on the doorstep of some big money fights v kessler and ward again S:..... strip froch so stevenson and bute fight for the vacant title and then bute can win and go back into hiding in canada.... but froch has blocked this plan by taking the fight S: errrr this makes sense in my head anyway..

Quoting Teddy Atlas "You can have a missle, but you need to have the right tools to land it"

If Froch is half as good as he was against Bute this'll be a comfortable fight.

He should make Stevenson miss for 3 round before he starts dropping his lunging hook on him.

Agreed. Stevenson is dangerous early!
Kessler is shitting his pants big time

Froch said he will vacate the title if he has to , to secure the Kessler fight. I hope he does if it means the fight will happen.

He might as well. If he fights Kessler and wins, he will be a champion anyway.

Then come back for the ibf after in Montreal and ko bute easy and Stevenson even easier!
