Froch wants Ward again !

Froch Admits Hunger For Ward Rematch: I Can Beat Him! - Boxing News

Froch wants another shot at Ward and wants to secure the fight this time next year in Nottingham. I think If froch can get through Mack, Bute and Kessler then he should have the unification fight with Ward or if Ward has moved up Froch should move up and get another shot at Ward. Its a make sense fight for Froch if he gets through the next three tests. I would give Froch in Nottingham a good chance of winning as long as he starts quick, like he did against Bute.

Would Ward actually come to Nottingham though? I dont see him taking such a big risk in fighting Froch in his hometown IMO.

Don't see the point in this match up, the fist fight was pretty conclusive

Like iv said earlier, a Kessler eematch will sell big regardless of whether Froch lost Ward again before hand.

While he is still relatively fresh, go for Ward before Kessler. Another Kessler fight will take its toll.

I think he and Kessler both have the beating of Ward but in their fights both let Ward hold and slow the pace. Only in the Froch fight where Ward started to tire did Froch startcoming in to it. If he started faster and more aggressive like he did against Bute, Ward would tire much earlier and although he looks tough in his fights, Ward is actually quite fragile. Look at the Bika fight. If the ref did his job, Ward would have ended up being disqualified for the amount of holding he did. Like Akinwande against Lewis.

Agreed, have no interest in this fight. Ward would win in dominant fashion.

Makes more sense than a Bute rematch

Disagree there...

Froch became stronger as the fight went on, ward slowed. In front of his home fans will make a big difference too!

Best opponent out there for Ward.

If Froch beats Mack, Bute and Kessler he has done more than enough to earn another shot at Ward.

Considering some of the opponents certain champions defend against, to say he shouldn't get a shot because the first fight was won clearly by Ward is bollocks. Ok Froch is the more likely to get wear and tear on him in the next 12 months and Ward is younger so will b a huge favourite but as has already been mentioned Froch was starting to come on at the end of the fight shows it's possible Froch could fight different and win. Who knows what would have happened if it was a 15 round fight.

Froch v Ward 2? I'd welcome the fight in the UK or US.

Froch starts quicker, the fights closer on the cards, but Ward still wins with a couple of round to spare.

I'd watch. Both have made statements after the fact and are the ones standing when the dust settled. That said, Ward isn't Bute and he surely is not Mack...who Froch should steamroll but cannot let himself get distracted looking ahead. I don't see the outcome being different but they don't shy away from a good fight.

The result would be the same, Wards as slippery as an eel and so hard to tag with multiple shots I would love Froch to do it and will be watching and hoping that Carl can, Andre is on the way up and Froch is peaking right now in twelve months who knows how Carl will be. :)

I really can't think of a fighter like Froch around at the moment. His fights are mapped out and gave been for years now.

Pretty much who ever everyone has wanted him to fight, he's fought. Always the best.

Don't forget, during the super 6 loads of people were saying Bute would have won it if he was in it. I think Bute still has a lot to offer with some of the top fighters still.

Kessler, Bute, Ward. Even Mack isn't an easy fight for a routine fight.

I don't blame any fighter for wanting to redeem himself, but i just wouldn't see too much point in a rematch here.

Froch has had a brilliant career, fought the best, won titles, proved himself a seriously hard b*stard, but he got found out technically by a fighter who's one of the best around pound-for-pound.

Assuming Carl gets Yusuf Mack out of the way, i'd like to see him face Kessler again if possible. There's a chance for redemption for him there, and i believe he'd win.

Given who Carl's fought, and how, we couldn't begrudge him wanting to end with a fight against the best, and the man who's beaten him most convincingly, but i don't think it'd be pretty, and i'm a believer that rematches should only be granted if there's any doubt about the result. For me, the first fight was too one-sided for this to appeal.

Fighting in Nottingham would make a big difference to Froch,personally i
still think Ward would win, but it would be a closer fight than last time,
i wouldnt mind seeing this again.

Agreed Froch would fight better at Nottingham and Ward may not be a good travellor at all.

Froch has to rematch with Ward after he beats Bute and Kessler, there is no where else to go other than the young guns like De Gale and Groves or move up to light heavy.

I'd like to see this happen, but lots of luck getting Ward to fight outside of the USA.
It's going to take a truck load of money to see Ward fight in the UK, in my opinion.
I want to see this fight for two reasons, to see if Ward can do it again, and to hear Froch admit he lost without any excuses, if that's possible.
