Yea Tam i do think he is a good fighter and yes Inkin pulled out , which wasnt Carls fault , but i thought he looked 1 paced , poor hands down defence , and pretty sloppy , if im honest. I know he can do better , but the hands down style is risky to say the least.
Well as Froch said at the end he was in there to put on a good knockout. He wasnt trying to box the guy, he was looking for big punches to get him out of there quick. If he had faught, he usually ups the pace in the later rounds or if he finds an opening early. Inkin is a totally different kettle of fish compared with the pole, but even so, some of those shots were very hurtful and powerful and I believe if anybody got caught with them they would fall. Accuracy is a good thing for carl, he doesnt waste needless energy at the start and picks his shots well. That can cause a lot of problems for fighters in the future too. His defence wasnt really tested, but as I have said before he knows his range very well and has very slick footwork. Its a good form of defence to have for a fighter and I believe with his powerhouse stlye he will be able to work everybody in the weight class. Although the hands need to be higher, he is so far doing well. Its easy for people to say he has a weak defence, but has hasnt ever been hurt for his defence to be pointed against. He isnt doing too bad at 23-0 19 kos if you ask me.

Hes a great prospect and he showed that again last night. He is motivated and going places this year, keep it up Frochy !!!!!
