By Scott Gilfoid: WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward is game for facing one of his recent victims Carl Froch and beating him again if the Brit is up for it. Recently, Froch’s win over IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute has planted some ideas in Froch’s head to where he’s now saying he could beat Ward if he’s at his best like he was in the Bute fight.

Well, Ward is ready for Froch to prove it, and Ward is even willing to come over to Nottingham so that he can whip Froch in front of his own fans if he has to.

Ward said to Thisisnottingham.co.uk “I’m ready and willing to do a rematch any time, any place. I would love to fight Carl Froch totally healthy…I fractured my hand and had to deal with a grotesque swelling [when Ward fought Froch]…I won the fight with virtually one hand.”

There it is, folks. Ward telling it like it is. He spanked Froch with a broken left hand and did it all pretty much using just his right hand. That tells you what a talent Ward is. He put on a clinic against Froch, beating him with his jab from the outside and then collapsing inward to school Froch on the inside. On the inside, Froch was out of his class, because he didn’t have the skills to compete with Ward.

Froch says he’s rather face Mikkel Kessler than Ward in his next fight. How come I’m not surprised? I can just see it. Froch faces Kessler, and then after that fight, Froch will likely start mentioning someone else other than Ward for his next bout. In other words, Froch likely will never even attempt at facing Ward again. Do I blame the guy? Nope. I agree, he shouldn’t fight Ward again. If I was Froch’s promoter, I’d wrestle him to the ground if he even mentioned wanting to face Ward again, because I wouldn’t want to see him get whipped a second time. It’s better for Froch’s promoter to put him in with guys he can beat like Brian Magee, Glen Johnson and Arthur Abraham. Those types of fighters. But DON’T put Froch back in with Ward and DON’T put Froch back in with Andre Dirrell, because that’s a bridge too far for Froch.
