Hennessy Boxing: McCracken Says Brit Fans Should Enjoy Froch Now

ByBoxing Press 21/04/2009

Carl Froch’s trainer Robert McCracken believes that British fight fans should enjoy Carl Froch while they can.

McCracken won British and Commonwealth belts as well as challenging for the world title during his own career and as a trainer, he has successfully guided Froch all the way to the WBC Super Middleweight title.

The Nottingham man is Britain’s only reigning World Champ and he makes his first defence at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut on Saturday night against former Undisputed World Middleweight Champ, Jermain “Bad Intentions” Taylor.

It’s a fight that British and Irish fight fans can see live and exclusive via an online pay per view at frochvtaylor.com and McCracken believes that viewers will witness a special performance from Froch on what promises to be an historic night for British boxing.

“Carl’s a special fighter and people should enjoy him while he’s fighting because he’s a one off and there won’t be another one like him for 50 years,” said McCracken.

“He’s the complete package, he can fight, he can box, he can punch and he can take a punch, he entertains the fans and he’s as dedicated to the sport as anyone I’ve ever seen.

“Taylor ’s a great fighter, but Carl’s a bit special and that’s why he’s taken the fight. He’s not asked for any favours, he’s coming over here in his first defence to take on a top, top fighter but I’ve every confidence in him because I know what he’s capable of producing.”

Froch vs. Taylor is live and exclusive on frochvtaylor.com from 2am GMT in the early hours of Sunday morning. Orders are now being taken for the fight which costs £9.95, or €11.00 for Irish viewers, and the fight will be available in both 750kb/s and 1mb/s to give fight fans a true quality streaming experience.
