“Time for me to chuck an apology in,” Froch told Ward. “I’ve got to be true to myself and as I’ve got a bit older, I’m 48-years-old, and as you get older… my best friend put a bible into my hands a couple of years ago and I’ve started to become a little bit more mature and a little more understanding, even though my channel’s a bit out there and the delivery’s a bit harsh… You beat me fair and square in a fight. It wasn’t close. Two of the judges had it 115-113. Were they drunk? And that made it worse for me because one round, I could have… I’d rather it was 120-108. I got beat by the better man, absolute legend, Hall of Famer.”
Froch also praised Ward making him sharper for the remainder of his career, and he instantly bounced back from Ward by shocking Lucian Bute.
