I suspect Khan will win the rematch on points by sticking and moving.

The Power Of The Riff Compels Me
Andre Ward - Carl Froch tomorrow in the Super Six final.
Could be a classic. The smart money says that Ward is too skillfull, has footwork which is too good and the dirty tactics to stop himself losing a war. But you can't really count out Froch, a guy who seems to thrive on adversity. Out-muscling Jean Pasacal in a war, KOing Jermain Taylor with 15 second to go in a fight in which he was getting thoroughly out-boxed (worry for tomorrow night!), dominating Arthur Abraham in a cool manner, and being smart against Glenn Johnson, Froch seems to know how to do it when he needs to. Only Mikkel Kessler beat him. So there's certainly a chance Froch finds a way - and he has enough power to catch Ward off guard.
For me, however, there have been a few warning signs. Kessler beat Froch by constantly going to the body - Ward has proven himself a pretty masterfull body puncher. I see him wearing Carl down to a UD. I doubt Ward can KO Froch, but I think his moment has arrived.
Then it'll be a Lucien Bute fight I assume.......
I watched the Ward-Abraham fight last night... Ward looked good. I'd like to see him beat Froch. Also caught the replay of the Cotto/Margarito fight...Margo is NUTS, and that fight should have been stopped sooner. His eye was hamburger (again) and he wanted to keep going...
The reason he wanted to keep going - aside from the fact he's a real warrior - is because Cotto was tiring and Margo was starting to catch up with him. In that sense it was close to the first fight: the difference was that this time Cotto had taken so much punishment because he fought smarther (i.e. circiling rather than retreating in straight lines and staying off the ropes).
Margo should retire. That eye is fucked.
Totally agree.Originally Posted by binnie
ward froch last night i kinda like froch he is a stand up sort of guy but ward took him to school last night , think ward looked like he had it all.
Ward looked incredible.
I guess Lucien Bute is next, followed by a possible Kessler rematch perhaps.
Then 175.
Ward is just that good. I was hoping Froch would test his chin a bit more but he just couldn't find him enough. All respect to Froch for not quitting as he seemed to be getting stronger in the 11th and 12th. Froch told it like it was after the fight and said Ward was just too slick and he couldn't get his punches off. It is definitely not the end of the line for Froch and at the end of the day he is still a rich man with the hottest girlfriend i ever seen.
RIDE TO LIVE, LIVE TO RIDE
LET `EM ROLL ONE MORE TIME
It's a shame Ward and Calzaghe could never have met in the ring. Two ships in the night and all that......
Kudos to Froch, but he just doesn't have the skills or the speed for Ward - he clearly thought he's just out-muscle him, but Ward was stronger, too. I don't think Ward is the second coming, but he's certainly one of the most promsing fighters in the world right now. His ability to fight inside is spectacular, as his countepunching whilst coming forward.
He'll be a tough one to figure out - I wonder if either of the Dirrell brothers (with their movement, speed and angles) have the answer? Or, a little late down the lite, Kid Chocolate? I'm looking forward to finding out. Someone needs to make Bute-Ward happen first - not sure what Bute has that Ward can't handle (although he is fast).....
I was really impressed by Ward's performance. Froch just didn't have the speed, power or skill to deal with him. I like how Froch had to mention like 8 times that Ward was "really good at keeping himself out of harm's way", as if to say "He wouldn't hold still so I could hit him, the bastard!" Froch was completely out-classed, not two ways about it. I too think his girlfriend is hot, but she's such a loudmouth it's kind of a turnoff.
I kinda think Ward will kick the shit out of Bute, too...who seems overrated, and should have lost that fight where he was dead on his feet - wouldn't have even made the count, had the ref gave him double the usual count-time.
Yup. Andrade had him out in the 12th.
Bute won the rematch with a vicious body shot, if memory serves. He's dangerous, but I'd like to see him in with someone we know to be good. If not Ward, then Kessler or Froch.
I do think the andrade first fight controversy may have put people off bute because he has decent record but i think ward has to way to much for him , sonrisa has a point about froch's girlfriend she is ace and i think he is missing a trrick not having her ring side with a low cut top on, its gotta distract the opposition :-)
Ward would be the favourite against Bute, no question. But let's not count Bute out - he's fast, has very good power and is a vicious body puncher. Plus, he's a leftie.
Could be a good fight. Personally, I think Bute will have all on getting past Froch (who fights him next), so I'll doubt we'll ever see him against Ward.
Mayweather going to the fucking pokie for 90 days....
wonderful...now we're either going to have to listen to how he's fucking a reformed muslim as he changes his name to Ferharma Rahim Minnesota Peace...
or...
How he's even more bad ass from his hard time at Clark County Community and Celebrity jail...
say hello to Andy for me..
"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
He will get out early on good behaviour.Willing to bet money on that
I really love you baby, I love what you've got
Let's get together we can, Get hot
Kinda wish mayweather would take his anger out on pacquiao instead of his ex wife and kids
He'll be out early.
Let's hope it focusses his mind on having some big fights before he finally retires.
1 tune up; Pacquiao; Martinez; done.
With mayweather, it's 50-50. If the right douche gets under his skin...
Agree with Bute vs Froch. I would have to like Froch in that fight. I think it is funny that the WBC has mandated that Chavez and Martinez fight. Chavez' people are feaking out because they know what the outcome of that fight will be. Doesn't go very will with their protection scheme.
Indeed. Martinez is too fast for Chavez Jr.
Chavez Jr. is probably one of the most over hyped and protected boxers around.Martinez probably one of the best middleweights in the world.I really dislike chavez.Martinez Cotto would be better
I'd say that Martinez is easily the best middleweight in the world - probably the best middlewight since Hopkins.
He's too much for Cotto. It's end Miguel's career.
Martinez vs Ward anyone?
It was reported on the ring web site that ward had fought froch with two breaks in his left hand before the fight .
I think ward bigger and younger tko's martinez late in the fight
I don't think Martinez is big enough to fight at 168lbs. He's not even a natural middlewight, really, more of a 154lber.
Ward, consequently, would be too much for him.
Martinez should push for a fight with Arthur Abraham (easy victory), Chavez Jr (easy victory and a decent payday). He should wait and see who ends up ruiling the roost at 154 - plenty of young lions there - and generate a mega-fight when that guy moves up to 160.
Unless Floyd wants a piece of Martinez, that is. My first inclination about was that Martinez was too big and that, combined with his speed, would be a problem for Floyd. Thinking about it, however, Martinez has shown himself easy to hit - I think Floyd would pick him to pieces.
2 things to report:
1) The WBA have ordered a Khan-Peterson rematch. This is good news in the sense that we'll get another great fight; but I think that Peterson's accomplishments are being downplayed here.
2) Mayweather-Pacquiao is really heating up. They're both talking the talk, let's hope the suits allow them to walk the walk. Bob Arum is the problem.
Rumour tonight is that Pacman has chosen Cotto as his next opponent. Does anyone need to see that rematch?
Shit, boy. Fight Floyd. If that won't work, fight JMM again. At least that would be a challenge.
I would settle for that just to shut khan up ... i get his point but the more he goes on about it instead of sorting a rematch and knocking him out the more his stock drops.
fuck your fucking framing
I thought all the talk was that the pac/mayweather might come off.
Exactly. The rematch was going to happen anyway - no-one needed selling on it. So why cry like a bitch?
Well...I can't fucking stand Mayweather...but this really makes Pacquaio look like a bitch...when the real bitch here is clearly fucking Arum...
What a douche...
Pac fraud is a pussy, period, end of story. He knows Floyd would beat his ass and destroy his blown up, fraud image. Fuck Bob Arum to.
That has been the talk. Mayweather clearly wants it right now. Someone in Paman's camp is delaying. I suspect it's Arum not wanting to deal with Mayweather.
Fingers crossed, but at this rate these guys will be 55 before they get it on.
Mayweather is a cunt...I can't fucking stand him...I wish I could...because I can't stand Pacquaio either...
Don't have to like him to know he would own pac Fraud.
I read somewere that it was who would put up the purse , pac's side were saying mayweathers side they couldnt gaurantee a half of the purse etc etc .... Am thinking the whole jail thing focused mayweather on the ticking clock hence the text about wanting it on the 5th.
Its gotta happen and I think the mayweather camp maybe will be more flexable this time .
Oh...fuck the jail term...it's three fucking months...christ...imagine the training he could do in the fucking prison...
Of course...he'll have to do it walking bowlegged...but whatever...
Totally , think he looked a bit of a bad loser over the whole thing ... saying that i dont know about this guy checking the score cards and the amendments but fuck it , fight him again and make sure it doesnt get to points ... but saying that peterson will draw from the victory so it will be a great fight.
It would be like watching Baltimore/New England in the NFL...it really doesn't interest me a whole lot...
If Cuntweather wins, he never shuts the hell up...
If Pacquaio wins...well...at least I don't understand him...so there's that...
