Special K?
He'll put you to sleep, man.
He'll put you to sleep, man.
I don't doubt it. I spent 30mins on the heavy bag earlier and I reckon I've come off worse!
He did what he had to- he sounds quite common
He sounds a bit gay.
Khan sounds like a bit of a bitch.
He put Badunk to sleep.
Think I'm going to have to hit the recorder for this and then watch before the Barca match tomorrow. Struggling at the moment.
He's no Wlad.
I'm nodding off, being old is rubbish.
I don't care for that kind of talk. Man up.
They just said 30 minutes.
I don't even have this excuse, pathetic.
Damn there are some lightweights in here Lance, real men like us never get tired.
Bitter fecker about decisions in the US. Odd fight to stick on the undercard this one.
Chuck Norris advertI wish Darke would stop calling this guy 'Karaoke."
Did anyone see that?Anyone else think Froch looked a bit nervous in those shots earlier?
Yes actually, but Ward doesn't seem his usual self either.
wtf?? martin atkinson has moved into boxing
What the feck was that, ref?
Yeah, he did a bit.
The ref could have really gotten him hurt then, the fecking idiot.
I hope the ref stops Ward from butting the shit out of Crotch.
Am a bit of an armchair fan. What is the super six thing exactly and how does that impact the belts?
The Super Six World Boxing Classic is a boxing super middleweight tournament organized by Showtime in co-operation with Sauerland Event. The winner of the tournament will hold the Ring, WBA, and WBC super middleweight titles.
The competitors entered into the tournament were then-WBA Super Middleweight Champion Mikkel Kessler, then-WBC Super Middleweight Champion Carl Froch, 2004 Olympic gold medalist Andre Ward, former middleweight champions Jermain Taylor and Arthur Abraham, and 2004 Olympic bronze medalist Andre Dirrell. Taylor and Kessler later withdrew from the tournament and were replaced by former light heavyweight champion Glen Johnson and super middleweight contender Allan Green.
The first matches took place on October 17, 2009. After three group stages, two semi final matches were set. Ward defeated Abraham in the first, held on May 14, 2011. Froch defeated Johnson in the second, held on June 4, 2011. After Froch defeated Johnson, he was elevated to the number 2 rating by Ring Magazine. With Ward being rated number 1, the finals will pit the number 1 and number 2 fighters against one another. This allows for the Ring title vacancy to be filled at the tournament finals.[1]
WBA Champion Ward will face WBC Champion Froch in the finals of the tournament on 17 December, 2011 at Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States.[2]
Cheers. Does this supercede say the WBC or WBA's list of championship contenders then- ie mandatory defences? Sounds like a good list who signed up though.
Ah a decent ref tonight too. Good.
Sounds like most think Ward is too good for Froch? What do you think?
As part of the contract the fighters were permitted to take non tournament bouts. Ward did so with Sakio Bika.
Precisely what you just said.
Ward will outbox Froch all night, but Froch has a punchers chance. I fully expect a Ward UD though, anything else would be a shock.
Wow Ward 2/5 and Froch 2/1 on Ladbrokes- that's a pretty strong call from the bookies.

Lance, you seem to know your stuff. Froch v Eubank or Benn at their peak- could he give them a decent fight?
I was pretty shocked at how easily Ward handled Kessler. He was very impressive that night, and has been since.
The guy hasn't lost a fight since he was 12.
The guy hasn't lost a fight since he was 12.
Absolutely.
Any brave souls backing Froch go with betfair @14/5
Was Kessler a bit spent though? Remember Calzaghe humiliating him (albeit not knocking him out)
I wouldn't say he was spent at all. Kessler gave Froch the only defeat of his career in his very next fight. I also wouldn't say Calzaghe humiliated him. I scored it 8-4. Certainly not a blow out.
