News about Andre Ward on Sports Mole with the latest player news, biographical information, pictures and more. MX23RW: Sunday, November 1 12:01:18 :120:5232:5232: Man Utd vs. Andre Ward retired from boxing in 2017, and was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame this past December, part of the 2021 class. But Ward also will only turn 37 in just over a week.
Andre Ward could not resist a cheeky dig at Carl Froch while commentating on Top Rank’s US show on Tuesday night.
The ‘Son of God’ beat the ‘Cobra’ when they met back in 2011, and Froch has since spoken on multiple occasions downplaying his old rival’s achievements.
During Mikaela Mayer’s win against overmatched foe Helen Joseph, Ward took the chance to exact some revenge on Froch.
He said: “Your opponent being slower than you thought, that’s a real thing.
“I remember fighting Carl Froch in the final of the Super Six.
“The first two or three punches he threw, I was shocked. I had to adjust to how slow he was.
“So that’s a thing, and it can take a couple of rounds to adjust to a fighter that’s slower than you thought.”
This is Ward’s latest jibe at Froch, with the pair unable to let things be almost nine years after meeting.
The American recently also branded the Brit an ‘overachiever’ as he said on Ringside Toe2Toe: “I might give him some ammunition. I’mma give him something to talk about over the next couple of weeks.Andre Ward Latest News Update
“The thing about Carl Froch, and I always respected about him, is his competitiveness, because he’s not really athletic.
“He’s an overachiever. You look at him and just the way he fights, there’s nothing that jumps out at you that says, ‘Wow, that’s a great fighter.’
“But his work ethic, his attention to detail. I know he used to keep binders full of his every workout that he did.
“He was very tedious about his preparation.”
“He was tough. He could take a shot. So he had other qualities that were intangible that you couldn’t really see.
“I think he was an overachiever. But I think he got hit too much.Andre Ward Latest News 2019
“He took too much punishment. A lot of his big fights could have easily have gone the other way, even the fight with Jermain Taylor.
“If Jermain Taylor didn’t fade and was in better shape, he would have never lost that fight. I think he’s up there, but I don’t think he’s the top dog, not at all.”Andre Ward Latest News Today
In a surprise reply, Froch decided not to rise to the bait.
When asked about the comments a few weeks back, he replied: “Absolutely spot on to be honest, that was really good.
“Overachiever? Maybe. I was never gonna turn professional, I turned professional and won four world titles if you count the WBA ‘regular’ belt.Andre Ward Boxing Record
“Many big fights are close. World champions who defend their world titles, it’s never always one-sided.
“Even Floyd Mayweather came close to getting beat, we all have bad nights and we all have close fights, but a win’s a win, a loss is a loss.
“Andre Ward’s a top fighter and the opinion of what he said there, I can’t really argue with it to be honest.
“This is coming from a guy who beat me quite conclusively on points. That’s totally fair enough.”
It remains to be seen if Froch will react differently this time around.
