I think he was a bit silly to fight with an injury that severe. If it were to happen during the fight then fair enough, but he could have worsened his injury by waiting it out a week and a half and not getting it treated. How can you have a broken hand for a week and then fight and still be able to throw hard? Seems weird to me.
Re: MRI Reveals Ward's Hand Broken in Two Places Going Into Froch Fight
Depends on the extent of the break really. Like any injury.
David Beckham played in the MLS Cup Final with a 'torn hamstring', wheras when i tore mine, i couldn't walk without limping heavily.
David Haye's toe excuse was ace though.

Bet that makes Froch look like a pussy now.

not really, when has he ever pulled out of a fight or quit in a fight due to a weak injury?
it just shows how gutsy and tough Ward is, hell makes one question though if he would have had a healthy left hand would he have been able to stop Froch, he landed brutal left hooks and you have to think that he wasn't able to put all his power into it

What I meant was Froch had an opponent with an injured hand and Froch still could not beat him, Carl should have gone out all guns blazing.

I'm pretty sure he would have if he knew beforehand that Ward had an injured hand, Froch was completely outclassed and looked foolish and one dimensional but he didn't look like a pussy when he was taking hard blasting left hooks right on the chin then still come forward while wobbled
Re: MRI Reveals Ward's Hand Broken in Two Places Going Into Froch Fight
It takes some serious guts to fight with any sort of injury in a big fight.
Re: MRI Reveals Ward's Hand Broken in Two Places Going Into Froch Fight
Investigation is necessary cuz something smells fishy.
Trying so hard to romanticize that boring victory huh. Lol ic what this is

Probably not. He probably broke it on Froches face during the fight the amount of times he punched him. You cant have a broken hand and throw punches like Ward did.

yes you can, just watch Arturo Gatti's entire career, hell the Damgaard (spelling?) fight is the perfect example all rolled up in one, he knocked the guy out with a brutal left hand which was the hand that was broken
Re: MRI Reveals Ward's Hand Broken in Two Places Going Into Froch Fight
Calzaghe would have beaten Froch with both arms amputated.
Re: MRI Reveals Ward's Hand Broken in Two Places Going Into Froch Fight
Ehh, ok. The inner hard headed boxing cynic in me thinks that even a battle hardened warrior spirit like Ward would have at least dropped a mention of hand probs with all the talking he does on mic. But yeh , he may just be extremely humble :-X
Really though, if hand was busted props to him for enduring and not making it a story, then ;D Whatever case he should disregard critics, he dictated it, Froch phoned it in and scores of 115-113 were loopy.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but he talked about it a fair bit after the fight.

He didnt seem to have any problems with it throughout the fight. When boxers hurt there hands it is usually easy to pick up on but no one noticed a thing.
