Ward wants Bute, Kessler and Sergio Martinez after Froch bout
June 29th, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KO’s) is already looking past his October 29th Super Six finals bout against WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (28-1, 20 KO’s) towards his fight after the tourney ends.
He wants to fight a rematch with Mikkel Kessler in order to prove that his win over Kessler in 2009 wasn’t a fluke. Ward pointed out in an interview at fighthype.com that he never got proper credit from boxing fans for schooling Kessler and making him look so bad in an 11th round technical decision in his first fight in the Super Six tournament in October 2009.
Kessler fans point to some of the headbutts that occurred in that fight as the reason why Kessler was dominated so badly by Ward. But if you look at the fight before Kessler was cut up from a couple of headbutts, Kessler was already getting totally dominated. A rematch really is pointless because Kessler was so far out of his league against Ward and had no chance. Ward also wants to fight Sergio Martinez if he’s interested in moving up in weight to take Ward on.
So far Martinez hasn’t been eager to move up and take on any super middleweights, especially a talented one like Ward. I don’t expect Martinez to change his mind about that because Ward is too intimidating and it wouldn’t be a fight where Martinez would be making huge money. He would likely end up getting badly whipped for little money.
I don’t see Kessler wanting any part of Ward again either and can’t see Bute wanting to face Ward. Bute has been making good money facing lesser fighters in Canada. After all these years of beating up on fodder opposition do you really think that Kessler would want to step up a couple levels to face a dangerous guy that could beat him and beat him badly like Ward. I don’t think so.

KESSLER WON A DECISION OVER FROCH. FROCH WANTS A REMATCH,. KESSLES AND WARD BOTH WANT A REMATCH SO BOTH HAVE SAID.THEY WOULD ALL BE GOOD FIGHTS FOR BOXING IF THEY CAN BE IN A NEUTRAL PLACE WITH FAIR JUDGES AND A FAIR HONEST REF.ONLY PROLBEM I CAN SEE IS THAT FROCH MAY DECITATE WARD IN THIER FIGHT.
AFTER FROCH WARD WILL BE LUCKY IF HES BREATHING
Martinez wont fight Ward. He will never fight someone with his own size…
@ G Dawg
That was an error on my part, what I meant to say was middleweigtht in general; Whether its Middleweight or Super Middleweight.
On another note, any grown man named G Dawg says enough. Case closed.
@G Dawg
@artsaboxingexpert I agree with you. Ward is too mechanical.he isn’t elusive enough as i thought. he runs back then suddenly comes head 1st,Martinez will be catching Ward with straight left hands and right hooks as Wards comes in running. just remember that everyone. Martinez by KO or Decision if it happens.
Ward isn’t asking for a Walk in the Park. He wants to face all the top people. How Rare…
Martinez wants to fight small people only. Sergio is scared of giant Ward.
MARTINEZ BEATS WARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ll tell you what, if Ward goes through Froch, Kessler, Bute, Martinez, then maybe a superfight with Hopkins, I wouldn’t mind calling him top 3 super middleweights of all time. It would go:
1. Prime RJJ
2. Tied with Ward/Hopkins
hopkins never fought at Supermiddle you helmet!
I disagree Martinez would beat Ward’s butt up and down the ring, if the fight is held on neutral ground, Martinez would get the easy win. Martinez is not Green, nor Aberham, Martinez moves very Well and can control the ring, Ward would not be able to get in the inside. Martinez is the Best boxer in the World today, and I dont see Ward doing much with him.
For sure Martinez will be running away. Martinez want to prove himself as P4P king but want to fight a smaller former featherweight Pacquiao. Let’s see what’s Martinez excuses. lol
I doubt he get s by Froch
Bute knocks him the f%$k out.
Thats right suckers, so start laying your money down.
This site is a shambles with the comments.

Ward wants Bute, Kessler & Martinez but he’ll probably have to settle for fellow loser Andre Dirrell after Carl knocks him into next year.
Kessler will go straight for ward if a rematch could happen you idiot. Martinez has been calling Mayweather and Pacquiao out so why not Ward? Bute will try and dodge as many good fighters as he can because he is a loser. Worst thing Ward can do is look past someone like Carl Froch. Your nothing but a Ward/Dirrell fan you freak. Go and learn about boxing before you start writing your verbal diarrhea.
AS MUCH AS I LIKE WARD AND EVEN THOUGH HE HAS BEATEN FIGHTERS THAT NO ONE THOUGHT HE WOULD.. HE SHOULDNT LOOK PAST FROCH YET,,,FROCH IS A SLICK BOXER AND HAS POWER HE DESERVES ALITTLE RESPECT…I REALLY DONT WANT TO CALL THIS ONE BUT WARD HAS WON AGAINST KESSLER,ABRAHAM,N AS FOR GREEN HE WAS NEVER IN THEIR FIGHT…I GOT WARD WINNIN THIS FIGHT BUT ITS NOT GONNA BE EASY..WWWEEEPPPAA!!!
Froch to KO Ward, then beat Kessler, then beat Bute – and then retire.
He will have nothing else to prove after that, unless he wants to the big money bouts with the like of Hopkins.
Scott Gilfoid has a hardon for Ward and Dirrell.
Hey Gilfoid, Ward has to beat Froch first m8. no point looking ahead too far in the future. as you always point out to British fighters.
