Thanjk you.

Very pleased for Froch. He totally dominated the fight. The loss against Ward may have been a blessing because he really looks like a man on a mission. Hopefully he doesn't fight Bute again and goes straight for Kessler followed by Ward.
As for Broner, if anyone had any doubts about his talent they should no longer feel like this. He is the real deal no doubt about it. He's got so much talent. It's clear he models his style on Mayweather. I thought he made easy work of DeMarco. I would now like to see him go for Brandon Rios or Miguel Vasquez before taking on Burns. He'll probably then move up to 140.

Broner definitely looks very good. It'll be interesting to see how he copes at light welter when he undoubtedly makes the step up.
Carl Froch-Andre Ward super fight could be staged at the City Ground next year
Carl Froch’s dream rematch against arch rival Andre Ward would be “a career-defining fight” at the City Ground in Nottingham rather than the world’s fight capital Las Vegas, the Briton revealed after retaining his world title on Saturday night.
“I wasn’t myself when I fought Ward in Atlantic City last December,” said Froch. “And I will be haunted forever if I don’t get in there with him. I am getting better and better and I know I could defeat him.”
On Saturday night at the Capital FM Arena, he crushed challenger Yusaf Mack with a blizzard of hooks in the opening round, and then left the American slumped on the canvas in the third after two brutal body shots. In doing so, Froch secured the International Boxing Federation supermiddleweight title, but insisted avenging defeat to the American Ward is what gnaws at him, along with his points defeat to Mikkel Kessler in 2010. They are the only two blemishes in his 32 fights.
Froch believes rematches with Ward and Kessler should be on the cards next year, but he may have to see off the IBF’s mandatory challenger, Canadian Adonis Stevenson, in March or April.
Eddie Hearn, Froch’s promoter, revealed the plan to stage an outdoor super fight next summer against either Kessler or Ward at the City Ground in Nottingham.
Ward tweeted on Saturday: ‘I quite fancy a trip to the UK’.
Hearn said: “I think he’d come. I really do. I want to do a stadium fight with Carl Froch, an outdoor fight in the summer. They’re the only fights that particularly interest us.”
Froch said: “To be there in the middle of that pitch fighting somebody like Mikkel Kessler or Andre Ward, would be phenomenal. They would be career-defining fights.
"I’d rather do that than go to Las Vegas, with all the lights and the glitz. I’d rather be here in Nottingham, at the City Ground.”
On Saturday’s undercard, Froch’s sparring partner Tony Bellew easily defeated Roberto Bollonti on points in an eliminator for the World Boxing Council ‘silver’ light-heavyweight title, but sustained a long gash above his right eye that required stitching and plastic surgery.
In Atlantic City, the American Adrien Broner, who has been described as "the next Floyd Mayweather Jnr in waiting", became a two-weight world champion with his 21st knockout against Antonio DeMarco. Broner stopped him in the eighth round to take the WBC lightweight title.
Scotland’s Ricky Burns, who holds the WBO lightweight title, which he defends on Dec 15 in London, is seeking a unification bout with Broner next year.
With Guerrero winning watch people talk up a potential fight with Mayweather jr. I hope not. If Mayweather returns to the ring I'd like to see him fight Canelo (would be huge on cinco de mayo), Manny and then retire for good. I can't see him fighting Martinez.
