Williams pulls out of Froch fight.....Unbeaten pole steps in...

[Bomp]

Well he'll get a title shot next if he wins, it'll probably be vacant but if he manages to win the WBC strap he'll have a decent baragaining chip by the end of the year, which isn't too bad since he's fought ABSOLUTELY NOONE!!

[DatsiK]

Wow, he is doomed to fight a decent opponent.

[Fenster]

Unbelievable!

Didn't think it was possible this bill could get any worse "luck"


Froch is slow-ish starter but even he wont be able to carry a 37 year old nobody coming in on a few days notice.. then again there was that Aussie sheep farmer Dale Westerman that gave him problems

This is an absoulte fucking joke. What the fuck is going on, I am so pissed off!

ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I need to calm down.

Carl Froch will knock him out within 2 rounds.

I ain't exactly Froch's biggest fan, but I am feeling abit for him. The one time he gets to fight on terrestrial tv and he can't get a decent opponent to make a statement to the division, the boxing world and the casual viewers who decide to watch the fight on the night on tv.

To be fair, he never was going to get a decent opponent on such short notice, I would have been very surprised if they'd persuaded Berrio to come over.

even so I would have preferred the Williams fight, than him fighting against a 37 year old unknown polish chap who barely beat someobody with just as many losses with wins. Its very unlucky for Carl because hes very prepared and hes fighting a guy who isnt known at all. At least the Amercians know Williams. I had never heard of this guy before tonight so I dont expect much from him. Carl needs a big KO here and also needs a very big next fight within the next 2 months IMO.

He`ll still have a decent nights work infront of him.

Froch and witter both desperately wanted to impress here. The only reason they are prime time terrestrial in the UK is because they come as a pack and probably wouldnt get the same billing on their own.

Hopefully this polish guy isnt a spoiler and wont ruin frochs big chance to shine infront of a large tv audience. He is in a tough position as many will now expect him to get this guy out of there quickly and not have too much hassle in doing so.

Problem is this guy is 37 and has probably been around the scene his whole life. He is also unbeaten therefore knows how to look after himself and i honestly fear the worst for froch here.

Obviously he isnt gonna get beat but if the class barrier is too big this pole may just rest on his laurels and turn the contest into a scrappy affair that results in it going the whole 12 and leaving the tabloids to ask further questions about froch.
