‘Carl Froch’

 

Boxing Perspective: Carl Froch vs. Mikkel Kessler

By Nick Chamberlain October 29th, 2009 All Boxing Articles

As the first stage of the Super Six Tournament has been and gone, some questions have been answered whilst some remain.

Arthur Abraham did exactly what every-one predicted he would do; tucked up for the majority of every round but without letting the points stack up against him, riding out the storm, and toward the last minute of each frame would unleash hard, wild, looping hooks to head and body that quite visibly shook up Jermain Taylor.

Taylor was again slightly unlucky when he was levelled in the 12th round as he did not see the right hand coming, and it ended him. However, it was a good display from Abraham, who had a good game plan that he stuck to, showing us all the power he has when he lets his hands go.

Carl Froch tackled Andre Dirrell, whom we had not seen a lot of, and the majority of people thought it would be a repeat performance of the Taylor fight, while in fact it was Taylor who produced the repeat performance that night.

When first writing about the Super Six Tournament, my previous prediction was that Froch would stop Dirrell, but in reality Froch could not catch Dirrell.

Dirrell was sharp, fleet of hand and foot, his punches were clean and accurate, especially on the counter and the only thing going against him in this fight was that he did not want to get involved in a toe-to-toe war with Froch, which is understandable.

Froch was almost exposed in this fight, in which he was very, repeat, very lucky to get away with the win.

Next up for Froch is Mikkel ‘The Viking Warrior’ Kessler, who's glittering 42-1 (32) record has only been sullied by the top super middleweight of the last ten years, Joe Calzaghe. More...

An exciting concept in the world of boxing kicks off tonight in Nottingham, England and Berlin, Germany.

Featured is a tournament comprising of six of the world's top super middleweights which will attempt to find out who the premier 168 pounder really is.

Al Bernstein On Boxing: Doing Something That’s Never Been Done

By Al Bernstein October 15th, 2009 All Boxing Articles

I am off to England for the opening weekend of the Super Six World Boxing Classic and the gravity of the moment is hitting me, as it is everyone else associated with this rather grand event.

Without overstating the case, this is a pretty significant undertaking. What makes it even more so is the fact that this is something that has never been done. Very seldom can you say you are participating in something in a sport that has not been done.

As this “World Cup” type tourney begins, it is thrusting boxers, promoters, TV executives, sportscasters and fans into some uncharted territory. There have been tournaments in boxing before, but none with this format, none that stretched this long and none that had such logistical challenges.

Six boxers will; be bound together for months, facing each other and no one else. They will be scouting future opponents and preparing for their own battles at the same time. They will know what lies ahead of them and have to carefully plan what they do in the ring so they can keep winning, remain injury free and have enough in the tank to get through five matches against top competition over the next 18-24 months to win this tourney.

One of the intriguing aspects of this is that most fighters don’t fight that many matches in a row against the best men in their division. Recent examples of tough schedules for fighters are revealing when compared to this super middleweight task. Take Erik Morales, who within a 24 month period fought super featherweights Manny Pacquiao three times and Marco Antonio Barrera once. He was 1-3 in those fights.

In the 1999-2000 calendar years, Oscar De La Hoya took on the best welterweights available to him; Ike Quartey, Felix Trinidad and Shane Mosley. He went 1-2. More recently from 2006-2008, Miguel Cotto, within the welterweight division, battled Zab Judah, Shane Mosley, Antonio Margarito and Joshua Clottey. Despite a 3-1 record in that group of fights, we know it took a toll on Cotto—though part of that toll may have come courtesy of the “extra powerful” gloves of Margarito. More...
