Almost making it into the ring with another fringe contender doesn't count as an actual fight. When he actually gets in the ring with a world-class fighter we'll find out, won't we? Until he does we can only speculate. But the way he bottled the Calzaghe opportunity tells me all I need to know about how he really feels. I wouldn't be surprised to watch him melt down in the ring when he finally does get in with somebody good.

Are you fucking kidding me Tam?

Title of thread: "Froch impressed last night!"

Really? He impressed you. I've seen A LOT better outing by Froch and last night wasn't an impressive one.
Here's me thoughts on it:

I thought Froch could have taken him out in 1 round but Froch didn't and that's his fault. He won and that's what matters in the end.
Hopefully we can see him step it up in class soon.

I didn't thnik Froch looked impressive, he was up against a third choice oppoentthat was completely outclassed and he only KO'ed him.

He should have boxed and impressed but he didn't.

If he wasn't going to spark him in round 1 he should have outclassed hime to impress.

He got a KO win over a undefeated although late replacement but it didn't really tell us anything. Thats what he was expected to do. I wanna see him in against another top 10 guy

In reality this was his audition.
Whether it was Inkin or not, this fight was meant to be his proof of quality and I don't feel he showed that in this fight.

Yeah but at least against Inkin it would have meant something, the guy was a last minute replacement, plus he was unbeaten although against limited opposition but still he had never lost. When your training for 3 or 4 different styles it can affect your preparation. He got the win which is what mattered most (ask Witter) now its forward from here hopefully!

Well I wish him luck, but honestly after that performance I can't see him threatening the likes of But and Kessler.

I think he'd give Bute a run for his money, would be 50/50 IMO but I agree with you on Kessler

It could be 50/50.
Froch undeniably carries power and the uppercut is a strange blow to have as a signature punch.
I just feel that Bute, although he's a big strong guy, has the ability to fight like a light pressure fighter and that type of fighter can trouble Froch as he likes to take his time.

But look, I'm being over critical, let's see how he does shall we

He clearly won the fight though. There was no doubts the pole had a monster chin, so I think he did well in beating him the way he did. but all i have to say is, lets hope he gets a good next fight.

You've gotta give Tam credit. Considering he's (allegedly) not Carl Froch, he's remarkably persistent in defending him against all the people that think he's utter shit.

For me it's hard to judge this guy after this weekend's fight. The guy had to prepare for like twenty different opponets, was the so called headliner being upstaged by the witter bradley fight, i think it was pretty impressive just in itself for him not to have fallen asleep during this fight. After the ref gave the ring instructions i was half ass expecting the camera to pan back just to show Albert Rybacki gone and another last minute opponet jumping through the ropes....ok i'm exagerrating but this whole experience must have been a huge let down after another for froch. With his only real motavation being witter letting down the crowd and the fight being shown on U.S. tv. Now just to be fair what i did see reguardless of the circumstances didn't look to threating to any of the other top guys in the division. He looked really slow, hands were low, and took a little long getting rid of a guy who miranda just for example i belive would have KO'ed in the first or second. Not a fair judge of what he really has to offer though.

"like mr and mrs smith, we both tote cannons"

Groupie love at his finest.

I actually hope Tam Seddon is right and Froch blows everybody away at supermiddle and then light heavy. I'd love to see an English hands-down no-defence guy just bomb everybody out easily but somehow I just can't see it.

I'd be delighted if Tam is laughing his head off at us when Froch sparks Kessler and Jermain Taylor though.

Oh! don't get me wrong... I like his style.
He's a fighter and likes come forward but come on let's be real here he hasn't fought any Top World Class fighter.
