gnasher16 31,602 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 How did you manage to get a group of 11 blokes comp tickets camera side then Stig ......I have a few good connections in the game and only got enough for 2 pals and our wives over the other side......We was in smelling distance of Ronnie O Sullivan ......little Joe Cole,Kevin Mitchell and a few actors whos names i didnt know ......good to see so many ex fighters and sports folk in general in full support..... As far as the fight went i think them 2 lads are an absolute credit to their families,their areas and most importantly the sport itself......its so refreshing to see a couple of genuine competitors battling for victory.....they are so well matched as well i didnt think Froch won it as clearly as the judges did i had Froch winning by 2 or 3 rounds i dont know what the judge who only gave Kessler 2 rounds could of been watching Anyway,great atmosphere,great fight.......still think Ward is a step too far though. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But fair play dug in and last round Froch won the fight. Yeh regards Ward might might not do it, he might be to good for Froch, but 1 punch can change a fight, and the money from it,more so if he getts it (here) you never know .?

I agree,both men are an asset to the sport ..i still think if froch is on his A game and can get to ward late on in a fight things could get very interesting..be nice to see him have the opportunity again!

gnasher16 31,602 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 6 of us gnash the others where on the other side further back --- one of the fellas is best mates with frochs family and froch eats in his restaurant --in his early days he sponsored him in some way .. whenever we get comp tickets we take it in turns to use them then we all chip in to pay for good seats for the other lads .... we don't always get them just dropped lucky this time .. the lad that owns the restaurant I`ve known since I was 9 .. the other lads apart from one I only ever see at froch fights we share fuel and ticket costs not big buddies only thing we`ve got in common is an interest in a fighter from our home town --hope this answers your question .. Just they are usually very careful with the seating plans for comp tickets as regards groups......for that reason they dont want stars/celebs being pestered by groups of rowdy blokes wanting autographs and pictures etc...............we can only of been 50 feet away from each other if id stood up i would of seen you ..........you wasnt that lunatic running round in a Notts Forest shirt with a bow tie was you Great venue for boxing though aint it mate id love to of seen some of the big domestic fights Benn/Eubank etc there it beats football stadiums in my opinion.

I think Froch has remarkable core strength i just wish he had a little more faith in his own conditioning ive noticed over his last few fights how he always has a strong finish but seems to doubt himself during the middle rounds in terms of what he has left in the tank.....no fighter wants to go the distance and have something left hence why he always gives plenty in the last few rounds. He,s a very unorthodox fighter and that alone can give Ward problems i just think Ward is too smart for Froch......it wont be half as interesting from a fans point of view as another Froch/Kessler fight as they are both true fighting men and Wards more of a chess player................personally id like to see a good old fashioned rubber match we rarely see them nowadays but maybe Kessler doesnt have the stomach for it again after last night.

I just think at this point in there careers froch is the better man over Kessler and could only see froch winning from now on if they fought again and like you said I doubt Kessler has the hunger to do it again,as a boxing fan id just like to see froch throw the kitchen sink at ward because he wouldn't have the heart Kessler has imo...see what happens!
