Froch: I am coming with dynamite in both hands and I’m going to explode on Ward
By Scott Gilfoid: Photo: Casino/Showtime – At today’s press conference between WBA Super middleweight champion Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KO’s) and WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (28-1, 20 KO’s) in Oakland, California, it was Froch who did most of the talking with his long-winded monologue when it came time for him to say his two cents. Here’s some of what Froch said:
Ward not pleased with Froch’s intimidation tricks
By Scott Gilfoid: Photo: Casino/Showtime – WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward isn’t amused with the mental games that WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch has been playing at their press conferences to promote their October 29th Super Six tourney finals fight. In the latest news, Froch has reportedly bumped Ward on more than one occasion, and squeezed his hand hard when the two shook.
Froch: The best Ward can do is try to steal a points decision; I can stop him with one punch
By Scott Gilfoid: Carl Froch’s confidence seems to be going off the chart with some of his recent hyperbolic statements about his upcoming October 29th fight against WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward. I think confidence is a good thing to have up to a point, but Froch seems too confident for the limited talent that he has. Someone needs to sit Froch down, give him a good cup of coffee and let him watch his past fights one by one to show him how average he is compared to the much more highly skilled Ward.
Froch: Ward isn’t as fast as Andre Dirrell, and I easily beat Dirrell
By Scott Gilfoid: Photo: Casino/Showtime – WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KO’s) carried himself with class and dignity at the London press conference with WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (28-1, 20 KO’s) to promote their Super Six finals fight on October 29th. While Froch was unleashing with both barrels on Ward verbally, Ward sat there bravely, taking Froch’s barbs without firing back.
Froch: I’m going to hit Ward a lot; he doesn’t hurt people like I do
By Scott Gilfoid: Someone wake WBC super middleweight belt holder Carl Froch (28-1, 20 KO’s) because I think he’s dreaming again. Froch faces WBA super middleweight champion in a unification bout on October 29th in the Super Six finals.
Super Six final: Froch vs Ward!
By Ronnie Jordan: So the Super Six final is almost upon us. For those of you who were there at the birth of this showtime Super Middle weight tournament, the prospect of finally seeing the winner is probably a welcome relief. Its the final everyone wanted after the withdrawals of Mikkel Kessler and Andre Dirrell and it could be argued the most exciting prospect for a final shoot out even if those two were still included.
Froch: You’ll see a better Cobra on October 29th against Ward
By Scott Gilfoid: WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (28-1, 20 KO’s) is saying the boxing world will be seeing a better version of himself against WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KO’s) on October 29th at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
