    Default 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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!
