Froch impressed last night!

[Kirkland Laing]

I think your in a bit of shock to be honest. If that was a carl froch barely trying last night, looking for one shot to end it, I cant wait to see a Froch being at his A game. He will up his game a lot against a better fighter and you know that for a fact. So you cant really say he would fight like that against a better fighter to be honest. He will feel a lot more pressure and we will see the best of Froch, he can only get better and he is doing that.

He didnt bottle the fight at all, he faught Peter Manfredo instead...

Froch was given the opportunity to fight Calzaghe and bottled it.

Because he's never fought anybody near wotld-class, we have no idea how he'll handle the pressure of fighting them and no idea if he'll be able to up his game. He may crumble completely, which is the impression I get from his interviews. I really feel that he doesn't believe in himself against top guys, which is why he's 31 and still hasn't stepped up and why he bottled the Calzaghe fight.

Can you not actually read or something? He was suppose to fight INKIN who PULLED OUT TWICE! he is top ten. BERRIO also didnt want anything to do with Froch either, who would have also been his hardest fight to date. He has been a pro for 5 years, he is getting a better record and pushing up against better fighters from now on. INKIN was the better fighter, can you not see this?? He is GOING to fight better fighters in a matter of time. Just wait.

Almost making it into the ring with another fringe contender doesn't count as an actual fight. When he actually gets in the ring with a world-class fighter we'll find out, won't we? Until he does we can only speculate. But the way he bottled the Calzaghe opportunity tells me all I need to know about how he really feels. I wouldn't be surprised to watch him melt down in the ring when he finally does get in with somebody good.
