Question for tam seddon - ref: Froch
Tam im wondering how long we are going to have to wait for Froch to step up for a world title shot ???
Ive nothing againest the guy , but hes getting old and has done nothing ?
Why is he fighting a 36 year old Robin Reid who has lost ...........
1997 - Malinga
99 - JOKE Calzaghe
2000 - Branco
2003 - Ottke
2005 - hammerd by Lacy ?
i mean why bother ? is he over rated ? or can he really walk the walk , it seems a real waste of talent to take these kind of fights .
This by the way is a genuine question my fellow northener , im just curious

I think he is massively overrated. Never fought a top 20 guy. Bit of money in a Reid matchup tho. Thats why he is doing it. He'll probably KO shot Reid, then mouth off saying how he beat Robin easier than Joe C and is therefore better....
Put Carl in with Joe C or Kess, even a fit Mundine and he'd get his ass handed too him. He is a Danny Green level fighter at best.
-
Re: Question for tam seddon - ref: Frotch
I think the 'Cobras' wasting his time in Reid.
He should have lined himself up for a title, I know Smashup and a few others are big on him...
Aside from Mikkel & Andrade, Inkins my bwoy! at Super Middle. I think Inkins got the goods to beat Froch himself.
I also think Inkin beats Lucian Bute and Mundine.
Mundine would definetly be his toughest opponent but I think Inkins good enough to outbox him in a comfortable UD win.
Inkin boxes very well and has very good movement in the ring his body work is superb I think he's a champion in the making.

Re: Question for tam seddon - ref: Frotch
I agree. I\'m not sold on Froch. He needs to seriously step up the competition level.
-
Re: Question for tam seddon - ref: Frotch
I think Carl Frauds people are hiding something about him. Which is why there reluctant to really challenge him.

Let's see. Poor competition and hand injuries. What is he another Calzaghe?
-
Re: Question for tam seddon - ref: Frotch
Calzaghe actually has the style to win world championships, Froch....eh that can be argued. He can swat but he has some serious mechanical flaws.
-
Re: Question for tam seddon - ref: Frotch
Froch can punch no doubt! But his defense leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. Altho he's been calling out Joe Calzaghe for years i feel that in reality he really doesn't want to run into Joe. He may be waiting for Joe to get beaten or retire and then make his move.

Froch was suppose to be fighting Joe C but that fell through, he then has the option of carrying on fighting for his British crown and shut the load mouth up of Robin Reid, so he took that option. The lack of fighters i think Froch has made a resonable choice.
Carl Froch is the number one in the WBC and he should be in line for a shot against it by next spring. But Kessler is fighting Joe C so he couldnt fight him now. So It's looking like Carl if he beats Robin will have another fight for his British crown and fighter either the winner of JC-MK or fight for thier vacant WBC belt! Does this answer the question?

Sergey Tatevosyan was nothing more than a tough journeyman.
Froch has plenty of opponents to fight.
Lucian Bute
Jeff Lacy

But look at the list most of them have just fought, injured or having a fight soon. Froch is in line for a shot but its just taking time for him with other events. It will come, he just needs to knock more people out. I would like Miranda-Froch that would be a cracker!

|I really am not sure what will be next for him but i know he should have a shot at the WBC title before spring 08 because he is the number one contender. But lets just wait and see if he beats Reid yet.

Re: Question for tam seddon - ref: Frotch
you will see Froch in these next two fights showing us why he should be fighting for the WBC title in spring trust me !

Why is that? That Russian himself wasn't even world class. And Reid is no longer world class. Carl Fraud is hiding something that he doesn't want expose. Which is why he stays away from live threats.

The last fights hes knocked them out early. As ive said in the other posts, he gets his shot at the WBC title around spring, so we will see Carl Froch in action then. Just have to wait for it. i hope he does get in with the better fighter after Reid, but lets just hope he can put on a good perfomance and stop him early.
-
Re: Question for tam seddon - ref: Frotch
No chance of Reid getting stopped let alone early
Robin still believes in himself, he didnt have to take this fight, he took the Brinkley fight on 2 weeks notice and looked ok for the time off and short prep, how he felt in there has obviously given him a shot of confidence which is why hes taken this fight, he went quiet when offered before.
Frochs been out 8 months and has completed very few rounds in his last 2 fights, Reid has done 8 good rounds this year and has been training for this fight for a couple of months already, Froch has had surgery on his knee and maynot still be training hard on it.
frochs timing will be well off and with Robins new array of old man tricks he will rough house froch for the first few rounds and I hope ram his jab down carls throat, Reid has the longer reach, Reid also loves the overhand right and carl loves to catch em with his face.
I like Reid and would have liked to see him take another warm up before Froch, shame cattley pulled out of their eliminator, he obviously realises that Robin has something left in the tank.
At very least Froch will have a hard nights work, I can see Robin winning a decision like the Magee match in Ireland ;D
-
Re: Question for tam seddon - ref: Frotch
Froch is too good for Reid hes old and washed up and hes going to get knocked down. He looked slow and old in his last fight and trust me he wouldnt be able to take those right uppercuts from Froch.
He got bummed by Lacy, and i feel froch hits a lot harder than lacy.
Froch ko first 5 rounds.

Froch doesnt even deserve to be ranked top 10. Look at his opponents.
Tatevosyan 26-7 had been beaten by a guy (pirog) who had 3 pro fights 4 fights before Carl fought him. World ranking 37
Tony Dodson World ranking 63
Brian Magee World ranking 21
Dale Westerman World Ranking 86
AND NOW ROBIN REID WORLD RANKING 35
How can a guy who has never fought a top 20 fighter in his division get a title shot????
-
Re: Question for tam seddon - ref: Frotch
I like the guy, hes got a bit of cockiness to him. He is only at 21 fights and recently has increased his risk factor. Magee and Dodson are fairly decent, Reid is a slight step up. Theres alot of guys to fight in his division. There will be plenty to pick from after this fight.

Still doesnt answer how a guy who has never beaten a top 20 fighter can be a number 1 contender....?

Who is his management? Thats whats wrong with rankings systems, its all about sactioning fee's and who is dishing out the cash.

HAHAHAHA Tam i set this question for you as a Froch fan.
AND i feel hes wasting time with nothing fights , well on the one hand you defended his oponants :)
then you make this statement which is how the rest of us feel .... i quote -
" Reid is old and wasted up hes going to get knocked down , he looked old and slow in his last fight !!!!!!!!"
Doesnt this kinda sum it all up and that from the mouth of a Froch fan ?
I mean hes wot 29 already ?

Your dead right. Cant Carl atleast fight a decent guy, who is still fighting reasonably well. Someone like Sam Soliman, Allan Green or Andrade, anybody who could show us whether he is good or not.
I really can see it now, he'll probably beat or even ko reid then he'll claim he is better than Calzaghe cos Joe only just beat Reid.

Thats not a bad option, altho we'll probably see him against a few more 20-40 ranked fighters who have no power so that he can get a title shot before ever being tested. And when he does get a title fight and if it is against a top guy he'll get KTFO.

I think Froch is a decent fighter even worthy of the top ten. However i think that there is just such a vast disparity between the "top" guys and the "elite" guys like Kessler n Calzaghe that he won't make it to the top.

My thoughts exactly.

Re: Question for tam seddon - ref: Froch
Ting is when you have the KO power he does then your always in with a shot at beating anyone in the division.
The Reid fight is personal and a good tune up fight (the guy has just had serious knee surgery at the end of the day).
Reid will have a right good go i'm sure but will be stopped within 7 rounds :)
I do agree that the Cobra needs to get his skates on at his age!!

No, hes in his 30's ;D
I think at his advanced age that we have already seen the best of him
I think he will turn out much like Audley, big mouth promising alot and did well in the amatures, knocking a few journey men over.
As soon as anyone with experience or heart gets in with him, game over
Carl is slow on his feet, he tries posing but is left out of position byt he time he decides to throw, his left is always low, he is easily outjabbed, he isnt used to fighting the distance.
I hope it happens against Reid but these are flaws he should have ironed out already at 30 I think its too late, its deffo too late to be dipping his toe as it were in to world class, Robin is the first fighter that carl has fought who has been anywhere near a world title
I really feel robin is gonna make Carl look silly, the one thing id worry about Robin is at his age fighting someone younger whos busy but Froch fights at a slow pace and will be russty
This will be Magee v Reid over again, touted young contender v old name, at least Magee had fought a world rated fighter and former title holder in Cherifi to guage his talent
Although Robin couldnt finish Magee he did have him down 4 times, Carl couldnt put him down that many, Magee was scared of Robins power and held, he made it hard for Robin to land, Magee out boxed Froch until he got careless

I dont think Reid is the best fighter either. but what would you prefer? seeing froch inactive until spring? or getting some good experience in and fighting people? I know Froch will win and he will do it in style.
As for people calling him a fraud, dont say that untill he gets stopped because he hasnt done much wrong yet really. Hes knocked out his last fighters and looked the best he ever has in his last couple. Sergey wasnt no bum either and has gone the distance with some very good figherrs and Froch did him early. Just wait and see until his next one.

I think Froch is a decent fighter even worthy of the top ten. However i think that there is just such a vast disparity between the "top" guys and the "elite" guys like Kessler n Calzaghe that he won't make it to the top.
Froch has a poor defence i don't see him beating the elite fighters.
well it cant be too poor if hes still undeafted right?

Tam im not saying he is a bad fighter , im saying he really needs big fights at his age , Robin Reid is a no win fight , if he looks bad then hes a nobody, and if he wins easy then Reid is shot , see my point ?

yer i do but im just trying to say that the JC fight fell through and he wants to defend his title and the lack of fighters at this momment means he cant fight the best. But ill say it again, he has to have his shot against the WBC holder in spring 08. But i think the next one will be bigger than Reid.
