I just thought all in all he was the same old Carl tonight... He gets the job done but I still dont quite get how.

This isnt to take anything away from him... I just dont know why people dont seem to be able to game plan for the way he fights... He's awkward but he doesnt really seem to change his approach much.
The first time I saw froch i wasn't too impressed. tonight he did some pretty smooth things, though he makes them look awkward. If you watch some of the old time fighters that are considered real good, they sometimes have that same effect. It looks bad but it works; they do the same thing in the same way and make it work for them. I don't know how 'good' froch is, but he is a lot smarter than i gave him credit for being.
