is this true?
the original date was rescheduled but so far ive heard nothing about the fight being cancelled again.
You sure you aint getting it mixed up with arthur-guzman??
take a look at eastside boxing . no other news people have picked it up in a whole day . hope it's not true but not optimistic.
It is true. Inkin has pulled out again. The news is a few days old that's why it's not currently anywhere.
I think Berrio is being brought in as a replacement.. so not all bad news
Is Arthur v Guzman off?Quote:

Froch will probably get a pretty devastating KO against Berrio, guy's got a knack for getting viciously knocked out as in..

Does have some power though.
Guzman fight is only postponed a couple of weeks.
He holds his chin up, but has enough to make Froch sweat. Very good respectable replacement.Quote:

If that's the case.....even better. Bigger test imo.
Sure i heard somewhere arthur-guzman had been re-scheduled for a date in June because Guzman wouldnt of been able to enter the country and get a sufficent amount of training in before the fight.
Is Inkin avoiding Frochy or what??
Oh well witter-bradeley gets top billing i suppose!!
No suprises the Guzman-Arthur fight is off/postponed.:rolleyes: Be surprised if it actually happens.
Coming off getting his head rattled like that, the good news is, nine times out of ten Brit refs are very quick to stop fights.Quote:

With all his faults Berrio can definitely punch. It seems like the opinion of most people who watch Froch is he's got a good chin, but has he ever fought a real good puncher? Defense is shady too.
I'm not picking Berrio and I don't think he's a better opponent than Inkin but who knows, could be interesting in spots.
Berrio is one of the most exciting fighters out there today.Quote:

Really gutted at Inkin and hopefully he can recover well and bounce back.

Im actually beyond angry, Inkin is a coward and would have got KTFO either way.
whos he going to fight now then?
I am really pissed off btw.
Poor Froch, man he's getting jerked around hardcore. It's gonna effect him once he finally get's back in the ring....Shame on Inkin, same shit too a week before the fight.

Fucks sake! Who's Froch fighting now? Still on the Witter card is he?
Berrio apparently, not as good as Inkin but still a step up for my man
Berrio would be a great fight!Quote:

Should actually be a whole lot more interesting than Stinkin anyway
Oh, not too bad then:). Still pissed off at Inkin though :mad:Quote:

Umm, don't know if Berrio will do it but Froch is a very limited fighter and no fighter is ever going to have success holding both hands at their hips. It's a garbage style and if Robin Reid was worth half of anything anymore he would have knocked him out. Very overrated fighter who is going to get found out soon enough.
...stop going to wal-mart buying neck braces and crutches and just say you don't want to fight him. We'll understand.
With Carl's prediliction for fighting ex-porn actors I think it's an obvious choice for who they're going to get to step in at short notice :

I just don't get the Froch hype, even with as little hype as it is I think he is overrated. Really I wonder if some have seen him fight. I'm personally waiting for him to get KO'd, Calzaghe would slap the everliving shit out of Froch.
Honestly how arrogant is this guy and who the hell is his trainer? I would love to see Teddy Atlas commentate a Froch fight. Atlas usually has to nitpick about a guy not putting a left hook after a right, not catching a leaner with an uppercut, a left hand low ect. That would be interesting to see what analogies he could come up with? "Froch's hands hang low like a Christmas ornament." I wouldn't put that one past Teddie. "Froch calls himself The Cobra and he fights like a Cobra in that he has no hands to protect his face."
OK I'll stop. But that's my point. There are 20 guys I'd pick to beat Froch, HE HOLDS HIS HANDS AT HIS WAIST! And that's no exxageration, they are at his waist. How can anyone pick him to beat any half decent fighter with his hands at his waist like a damn fool. He makes Vic Darchinyan look like he's textbook perfect.
He's roughly about as good as Junior Witter......Quote:

Hope the replacement is Berrio but Froch has just been given mandatory challenger status by WBC's Jose Suleiman so maybe they won't put him in with such a dangerous banger. ?
two times he has dropped out in very late notice and two times its been because he is ' ill ' its just not acceptable for such a high profile fight for both men IMO. Both need to assert whos the best in the weight class and by dropping out twice he isnt doing himself any favours.Quote:

and VD you have never ever back a British fighter, but all i can see is, if its Berrio he will get KTFO out too ;D
That's bullshitt. I remember I backed David Haye against Enzo Macc. I remember backing Naseem Hamed against Paul Ingle, Robin Reid against Calzaghe. There all British fighters. I'm pretty sure there's been plenty moreQuote:

haha VD I found a quote you might like from my favorite writer of all time, Jack Fiske.
"I've vacationed in Great Britain 16 times. I love the people, the ambience, the architecture, the history, the tradition, the underground, the landmarks, the churches and the quiet of the countryside. Only the British boxers turn me off. They suck."
;D
Witter is awkward I'll give you that but he's ten times the fighter Froch is and I'm not even that high on Witter. Froch is an idiot for holding his hands like that and is going to get exposed in a big way. Maybe not by Berrio but as soon as he fights ranked competition he will.Quote:

It doesn't matter. You said I never backed a British fighter. And I just gave some examples. Doesn't matter if they were fighting other UK fightersQuote:
