Are you the 'Michael Connelly' who commented on the picture on FB calling Ward a twat and costing you £££. It sounds a bit bitter to me mate and childish, the cut is one that he could not fight with like that and if the shoe was on the other foot do you think Froch would fight with it.

nobody fights with cuts mate... these things happen

Did any one catch froch this morning on soccer Am?

Do you think there's in substance in the fight being moved to LA at the staples centre?

Wouldn't Ward love that the cok

[Gavin]

where are you getting this information from ?

Its above his right eye .

It was on Yank spam website hours after it happened. It was obviously wrong though

[Daz1865]

Pretty gutted especially as this was our first attempt at watching an overseas fight! I think its just bad luck, no real malice against Ward if he does have a nasty cut, although he should have let Hearn/Froch know the information first instead of posting it on twitter.

Flights are non-refundable and non-changable too, might only get the taxes back, so will go to the US anyway. Anyone else?

Is Thompson v Chambers still on for the 28th? Would be good to see some boxing while over there.

Joke of a cut. I was livid when i saw it properly.

Forget the crusty, covered in lotion pic - there is another which shows a slight nick above the eyebrow.

When Froch's eye was half shut and split, slightly over a week before Pascal, people panicked and he said "it will be no problem at all. Just you watch."

The guy has over a month to knit, stiches out usually 5-7 days, dissolving ones gone in 9 days tops. He'd have a red line there come fight night and that's it. As clean as they come.

Give over its a cut that easily requires stitches. I remember when ODLH fought JCC in 1994 and Chavez was opened up horrifically by a cut he sustained in training a few weeks before and it was nothing like as bad as Ward's. If that fight went ahead and Ward was opened up and the fight was a no contest who would feel aggrieved by it all. Froch would, Ward would, Showtime would and most of all the fans would.

[Keegan Jacobs]

This is not good at all. Now Froch actually has a chance of winning on cuts .

Just my luck

[OneTrueSaxon]

im lucky in that i have only forked out for fight ticket so far and will be going whenever and where ever it is just book last minute as i always do!

anyway might be a blessing as it will stop SOB doing his billy goat impression!! 

[Harvey]

I can change our flights for £100 + difference in price which works out at about £200 each if the fight
is in December.

However, my missus cannot get time off work in December so if it is re-arranged for then
we will have to go on the original trip to NY which was always the backup plan anyway.

I may then rebook for just myself although the price of everything is higher in december which
may stop me from going.

To be honest even if the fight is re-arranged into the New Year I'm not sure that I will risk another date
change.

Either way I think the number of fans travelling is going to be a lot fewer than for the October date

I'm not gonna start lying to suit my agenda. Your quite right, that a cut can open up. But once it's knitted and matured it's weaker than when it's fresh past 4 weeks.

He's torn the skin, one or two membranes. It's not a bone-deep axe wound.

still dont have a clue what to do , just waiting for the dust to settle , thats all we all can do really ? we were flying virgin , can get taxes back .... ( not much , but its better than nothing ) or pay for flight change and difference new dates will cost , approx 220 ish . but its a tricky one , and a bit close to xmas for my liking . ( 10th or 17th ) nothing confirmed yet though .... and how do you know andreas cut wont re open ? ( dont trust the guy one bit !! ) could do a drivel on us .  at least the guys who booked with eddies mate / company are going to be looked after ( thats good for them at least ... )  anyway we have to contact eddie and send our tickets back for refund  , ( those who bought from matchroom of course ) was told venue is still going to be ac 100 % ...  ( at the moment i,m THINKING i,ll most probably ...)  still go to new york as planned  , and make a top weekend of it      ( bit of early xmas shopping and harvey says he,ll treat us all to a nice meal out there    )   anyone who wants more advice , anything your not sure about ?? ring MATCHROOM tomorrow eddie is free to speak to anyone , he wants to hear from you , and will help if possible . could be another monaco meet up AGAIN !!!

[The Cobra]

That would be ironic as Ward is usually so careful as to not inflict cuts on his opponent by illegal means. What a terrible shame it would be if a cuts injury were to cost him a fight.

I feel as bad about that as you do. In fact I'll probably get myself over to Asda to purchase an industrial sized bottle of Night Nurse just so I can get some sleep.
