Carl Froch v Sergey Tatevosyan DRBR
Carl Froch v Sergey Tatevosyan
Although not fighting for any titles, this one is going to be more interesting than the bookies would suggest, with Tatevosyan coming off a points defeat to Lucian Bute, and before that he upset Joe Calzaghe mandatory Rudy Markussen, which really put a speanner in Markussen's career, so can he do the same for "The Cobra"?
Carl Froch (20-0, 16KOs) - Carl comes into this bout as the reigning British and Commonwealth Super Middleweight champion, having dispatched competent Tony Dodson in three quick rounds with some vicious punching to the body. Froch is always a worry, hanging his hands pretty low, but he has never been caught out badly enough to lose so far, but one fears as he moves up in class in his opponents, and Tatevosyan will certainly be a challenge. Once again Carl is fighting at home in Nottingham, where he gets plenty of support, but being from Eastern Europe I doubt this will deter Tatevosyan. In my opinion, Froch will be looking for a big win to catapult him up there, and will go on the attack. If he deters Tatevosyan early on the Russian won't want to mix it, but if he doesn't get the upper hand it could be a long night for him.
Sergey Tatevosyan (26-7, 14 KOs) - Although Tatevosyan comes into this as the great underdog, Tatevosyan has mixed with top competition over recent years, including Obede Toney, Howard Eastman and Roman Karmazin, and handed Euro champion David Gogiya his first defeat. Don't know too much about him personally, but he should be a great benchmark for Froch, and we can see whether the Nottingham lad can really mix it at European or even world level.

Re: Carl Froch v Sergey Tatevosyan DRBR
We're just about to start now.
Tatevosyan working his Russian roots, coming in decked in a bearskin with fur covering him making him look like a huge bear of a man. His music was like that you'd hear at the entrance of the bad guy to the battlefield in some sort of medieval war epic or something.
Froch's entrance is equally dramatic, with a troupe of drums giving him a full 2-minute welcome. Then it is the classic rock sounds of Queen, "We will rock you", and he gets a great welcome, and is looking confident in there.

Re: Carl Froch v Sergey Tatevosyan DRBR
This week it is a DRBR, as work finished early, and after doing a bit of work on the bike, settled on the couch to watch some of the cricket world cup and sink some brews. Tatevosyan is about as hairy underneath that bearskin he wore on the way in. Looks quite confident himself, and gives the crowd a grin when they boo him. As i thought, he doesn't seem to be fazed by it. Then again, Froch is taller, and with the greater reach, and himself is confident often to the point of arrogance. He's toned it down a bit over recent years, but I expect a decent fight from this un.
Round 1:
Cagey start, and the viperlike jab of Froch paws against the southpaw high guard of Tatevosyan. Not much thrown in the first minute. Tatevosyan with the body shots on the inside. Froch comes forward with a left hook and a body shot. Another firm right, but gets caught flush with a straight jab from Tatevosyan. Good jab again from Tatevosyan, but Froch comes forward with some body shots, and a good right cross. Goodcright from Froch, but Tatevosyan comes back with his own. Good flurries as we finish with Tatevosyan on the run.
Froch
10-9

Re: Carl Froch v Sergey Tatevosyan DRBR
Round 2:
Tatevosyan with some gentle lefts in the clinch, and he starts with a few more jabs. Those vicious jabs from Froch are getting through. Froch opens with three hard body hooks, then backs off again. He's launching attacks from distance, and the long body shots are good . Tatevosyan not getting too much back, but doesn't want to get too close and get caught by Froch. Decent left from Tatevosyan. Froch unleashes a hard flurry to the body and one up top for measure. Hard left to the body and a huge right puts Tatevosyan down. Froch punces with some very big body shots, bnothing coming back from Tatevosyan, and the ref jumps in as nothing is coming back from the Russian.
ITS ALL OVER!!!!

Re: Carl Froch v Sergey Tatevosyan DRBR
What a very good finish from Froch, but the ref might have been a littleearly, but Tatevosyan wasn't throwing anything back, and just trying to get through the period. This is Tatevosyan's first time ever being stopped, and 2:44 of round 2 is the official time. Carl scoops up the plaudits from a very good performance. Do you reckon if my statment that he still holds that left far too low will bother him? He's barely broken a sweat, and made a very big statement here tonight.
Very impressive indeed young Carl.

Re: Carl Froch v Sergey Tatevosyan DRBR

Re: Carl Froch v Sergey Tatevosyan DRBR
"I had the sharpness and the coolness tonight and I showed that anyone who steps in with the Cobra has to think very carefully about what they are taking on. This guy took on the guy above me in the WBC rankings and Bute couldn't stop him, and I blitzed him in there and took him out. I've got a good five or six years in me at my peak, so it's all out there for me."
That's what Carl had to say, and his promoter said that he was hoping for a final eliminator before facing either Calzaghe or Kessler, although once Andrade wins tomorrow night, that might be a different story.

Cmon man, this guy isn't a journeyman he has been fighting some top 10 SMW's for the past three or four years, and was a really good fighter who has never been stopped, by European and international level fighters.
Anyhow, I'm off to enjoy the undercard fights and load up on more beers, so CC's all round, and thank the lord for a brief night's work!

Am I the only who caught this.....
Guess Team Frochs looking for the upset? Or they just wan't to see Kess loose whatever the case maybe if Froch faces Inkin that should be a really good match up....
Side note:
Can't wait for Amin to get in the mix.... 8)
Also heres hoping Sebastian can bounce back and get in there too....
Wouldn't mind seeing Sebastian fight Bute....

Sorry Mick...that comment on Andrade wins tomorrow night was my opinion, I've been joking with killer about it earlier so I thought I'd slip it in. That is in no way the opinion of Mr Froch's promoter. Maybe I should have a disclaimer or something on these RBR's....

Sorry mate, I just think you're dismissing a guy who has really been mixing it with much better opposition than Froch has, and has some good results on his list, including Rudy Markussen (only 6 months ago), James Obede Toney, Armand Kranjc and current Euro champ David Gogiya. The problem with SMW is that there aren't too many fighters that are like Tatevosyan, who have been in there at high level and are still around. You can't expect him to go from Tony Dodson to Mikkel Kessler, despite his flash talk, and these guys have to be beaten to get to the upper echelons of the sport.

Re: Carl Froch v Sergey Tatevosyan DRBR
Just back from the Nottingham Arena....
Had rather a few squashy-plastic pints of lager - but basically is was a wipeout by Carl.
When i chatted to him today, he said that basically the reason Tatevosyan hadn't been decked, was that he was a lovely lad - in the press conference, he was like Kostya Tszyu without the command of the English language - a friendy personable kinda guy, but with a flat nose and air of 'business' about him.
Carl entered, without the 'hit me as hard as you can' attitude he shown against Magee & Dodson - he was very focused and was catching Sergey in the first, giving him a taste.
The 2nd round he settled down to his task and landed a peach of a shot - then Sergey got up prematurely but seemed a bit dazed and Froch fired home the upstairs & downstairs shots and landed 14/15 shots unanswered..
From my seat it was obvious it was 'game over' for Sergey and by the look on his face, it was timed just right by the ref.
At the presser Sergey told me personally that Lucien Bute was the hardest puncher/ most skilled fighter he had faced - even good enough to dethrone Kessler (whom he'd sparred) - and Froch dropped him and stopped him in 2 rounds - confirming my belief that he'd give the top 168 fighters at least a run for their money.
I'm not getting carried away by this win - perhaps Carl made this kid look average tonight - maybe Tatevosyan had a poor night - but either way, i'm convinced Carl has the power & focus to turn it on at world-level with any current champ at the minute.
8/10.

After ko performances like that he truely deserves one.

Froch is simply World Class and i've known it for a few years now.
never EVER seen anyone (p4p) hit as hard from ringside as him and i've seen plenty.
Devastating power and as i've been saying for ages...
World champion within 18 months,i have no doubt about that.

Yes, but that is all they are....vultures. Seriously, if you were given odds on a fight between Joe Calzaghe and a fairly large carrion bird which one would you put your money on. I reckon Joe tries to fight from distance, and staying away from the claws and beak, then pounds it to the body for 12 rounds. I'm not convinced that the vulture would have the speed to get to JC, and I can't see beyond a points victory, although I imagine that a bird isn't likely to know how to back off.

Re: Carl Froch v Sergey Tatevosyan DRBR
i still ait sold on froch; he did well yes - but he is a top 10 SMw fighting a guy who spent most of his carrer at MW and is something like 70-90 current SMW? bute made hard work of him, fair enough but bute has beaten none of the elites at SMW, i really fail to see who this propels froch into the elites at SMw - when he talks about calzaghe or kessler should be wanting to fight him, fuck no he offers nothing! IMO before he warrents a shot at calzaghe or kessler he needs to beat someone they have in simuler or better fasion, or another top 10 SMW.
Lacy i doubt will happen yet coz he is out, but froch should be gunning for mundane, tsypko, bute maybe buyer, someone who is a name, who has EXP - i wont compare him with kessler yet untill i see his fight tonight, but calzaghe would play hell with froch. His hand is to low, he has decent speed but clazaghe would be in and out so fast he would feel the shots untill calzaghe was standing back smiling at him. as a south paw and him carrying that left so low he would get batterd. Joe is getting on and his power is half of what it was, but he still has the speed and footwork to confuse the hell out of froch ad he will, personally i hope froch doesn't get a shot at him anytime soon coz it would be a bullshit fight, and whens its done calzaghe would gain little form it.

Re: Carl Froch v Sergey Tatevosyan DRBR
C'mon Preme, we all have our bias - i'm a Froch fan as you probably guessed. And reading that, it's obvious your a Joey (Joe Calzaghe fan ;D )
I dont buy that a fight between Froch & Calzaghe would be bulshit, no way mate !
Froch has battered a heap of soutpaws, Magee & Tatevosyan both were southy's put to bed early with no coco.
Froch has passed absolutely every test put in front of him, like him or not, he has completely cleaned up the UK domestic scene - it's not even close, Froch is 1st 2nd & 3rd on that front.
Wheras Joe has publicly stated that 'Kessler is a nobody, a complete unknown, hence the Tv companies wouldnt be interested' - but then begins negotiations for Alejandro Berrio !!
Also you say Bute is a nobody, but as i see it he is a very good boxer indeed. As is Mikkel Kessler.
The sternest test Joe has had is Jeff Lacy - whom was found out immeadiately against Tsypko (whom also won in my eyes) - a guy who was beaten by Magee (although robbed) - did i mention Magee KO'd Lacy as an amateur? ?
Did i mention that Joe pulled out of magee with a week to go for fight night - because the WBO didnt recognise him LOL - the WBO is a joke as we all know. Froch offered to fly out to magee to take Joe's place - but Magee declined.
It was only when magee slipped down the pecking order to Robin Reid than he undertook Froch's offer and was blitzed.
Speaking of Reid - he called out Froch..then decided against it !
See a pattern forming? Joe declining fights ? and Froch offering them ?
Froch would never shirk an offer ever, he'd never manouvre out of the way, he'd meet them head on as he has shown multiple times.
Carl won a fierce amateur show in Copenhagen many moons ago (when he himself was a middleweight) - and loved the place. He has no problems going there again for a Kessler showdown.
For that reason & attitude he's starting to win people over - wheras the same people are desserting Joe for the opposite reason unfortunately.
Calzaghe is world class - but his decisions have been distinctly amateur of lately... Manfredo anyone? thought not.
