Froch and his team asked for the fight to be postponed because of injury..
Google Oversæt
Now this is worrying and that joke of a promoter Fat Mick strikes again says in this article he asked for the fight to be delayed but was refused and he just said ok?? So the biggest fighter in his stable is injured going into probably the biggest fight of his life injured but his promoter just accepts this, in one respect as a fan you have to say well done Froch for having the balls to fight on, but on the other hand what other promoter in the world would just accept that with his fighter injured, I think it shows how weak Mick Hennesey really is.

I believe it's known as the preemptive fail excuse.

Getting a bit of a feeling that Froch has lost his bottle for this one :-\

Re: Froch and his team asked for the fight to be postponed because of injury..
Wow this is really weird. I mean if a fighter is injured and cannot fight you just pull out I guess, not ask for permission.
Do you think it's a double bluff?

Just doesn't seem himself does he? Froch said that in his early career belief in himself was his biggest problem. I still think it will be a cracking fight.

I suppose it depends on the extent of the injury, obviously if u break a led then u can't fight. If he isn't fit to fight then the doctorsa woudllnt allow it presumably. Fat Mick does seem fucking clueless though askin for a postponment without suggesting an alternative.
Doubt it's double bluff as the point of that would be to inspire hope and over confidence in ur opponent, something Kessler needs IMO as he ran out of ideas ang gave up against ward.

You get the impression that Froch isn't exactly brimming with confidence going in to this fight.

Re: Froch and his team asked for the fight to be postponed because of injury..
Yeah, built in excuse but you never know it may be more his promoter who's shitting it than Froch.

Re: Froch and his team asked for the fight to be postponed because of injury..
I don't believe 2 seconds it's true. Either this is to give Kessler a boost of confidence in order to make him come to the ring a bit more relax than he should or it's the preemptive excuse. Nobody will make me believe that Froch would go to war with an injury on top of the bit of extra stress he has had to come to Denmark, especially when the stuff at stake is so important.
I don't buy it.

Mikkel Kessler certainly won't run out of idea's, against a come straight forward fighter like Carl Froch. Who is so easy to hit, i think Mikkel Kessler will look really good here. And Carl Froch doesn't seem to fancy the job at all here.

Re: Froch and his team asked for the fight to be postponed because of injury..
My boy Kess has really dissapointed me ever since the Joe fight...
I thought the loss to Joe would enrage him and light his ass up and just go all out. Instead he went completely the opposite and the fashion in which he lost to Ward was just awful...
I really don't know what to think anymore on him. I'm rooting for him but if he loses it really wont mean much to me it'll just be like mehhh, so he lost.

Re: Froch and his team asked for the fight to be postponed because of injury..
Froch has come up with many pre-emptive excuses coming into this fight, the planes have put him off, a bit injured, etc, etc.
Up until a week ago I expected him to walk it, but now, I'll be suprised if he doesn't get knocked out.

Re: Froch and his team asked for the fight to be postponed because of injury..
Probably had a bad training camp and he knew it.

Same here...I used to be big on Kessler and thought after Calzaghe left for 176 and then retired he would step up big and claim the division...But guess not :-\..

Didn't Manny go like 9 or 10 rounds with a broken eardrum?
Didn't AA go like 9 rounds with a broken jaw?
Both won!!!!
Didn't Clottey break both his hands in the Margarito fight and go 6 more rounds?
SWhit Carl forgot this is boxing...The sport that causes to recieve just as much as you give,,,,
Maybe fat old Mick forgot to fill the Ex Chumpion in:-\

Just wait for the excuses to get started over the next couple of days. And don't forget he didn't really lose, if it had been in Nottingham he would have won. Kessler stole his bike and he isn't happy. :)

Re: Froch and his team asked for the fight to be postponed because of injury..
Froch on Showtime :
The judges were never going to give me the fight.
I switched off mentally because I thought the fight was off because of all the problems I had travelling to Denmark.
I thought I won.
I had him hurt several times and could have stopped him but I just sat back a little bit too much.
I had an injury going into the fight.
I knocked him down and they didn't count it.
And then after all that he said "but no excuses."
:rotflmao:

Showtime don't pay enough to do that. He'll need to get himself on HBO PPV to cover those dental bills.

Some of you are just being evil. Leave Froch's Mum alone!
Froch fought fairly well in spurts and took his share of the early rounds, maybe some of the later ones too by some accounts. He gave a decent enough account of himself, but didn't quite fight with the intensity needed to grind Kessler down. Maybe he was carrying an injury, but if so the fight really should have been postponed. Froch can't use that as an excuse because the chance to get fit was there.

The fight was in no way a walk over by Kessler...It was a damn tough fight and I give Carl credit...Bar the excuses because how many fighters have BS ones after they lose?...My Dog died...My feet hurt...My herpes has been flaring up....You name it they will say it....But I will say I gave the fight to Kessler by 2rds but the scoring by the one judge was crazy!!!
117-111?
Like I said before though...Froch Beat Bute? NO NO NO!!!! Not even at home!!
