Froch impressed last night!

[CutMeMick]

He handled the pole quite well and got him out in stlye. His speed wasnt at the best, simply because he wasnt fighting against somebody who was fast. He beat him at his game, looking for a good shot. He showed us last night that if he puts a barrage of punches he really will hurt them. Those punches were accurate and hurtful and you could see that last night. Some of the sting on those punches will cause problems to anybody at 168-175.

He cant wait for a long time for his next fight and im hoping its in the next 2-3 months so we can see him in his world title showdown. He showed respect to JC, that was good to see too.

Are you fucking kidding me Tam?

Really? He impressed you. I've seen A LOT better outing by Froch and last night wasn't an impressive one.
Here's me thoughts on it:

As for Froch, come on man... How the hell does that guy go 4 rounds with you. I don't know if YOU thought it'd be a good idea to carry him through rounds like that but it wasn't. It was only making you look bad.

I thought Froch could have taken him out in 1 round but Froch didn't and that's his fault. He won and that's what matters in the end.
Hopefully we can see him step it up in class soon.

I didn't thnik Froch looked impressive, he was up against a third choice oppoentthat was completely outclassed and he only KO'ed him.

He should have boxed and impressed but he didn't.

If he wasn't going to spark him in round 1 he should have outclassed hime to impress.

He got a KO win over a undefeated although late replacement but it didn't really tell us anything. Thats what he was expected to do. I wanna see him in against another top 10 guy

In reality this was his audition.
Whether it was Inkin or not, this fight was meant to be his proof of quality and I don't feel he showed that in this fight.

Yeah but at least against Inkin it would have meant something, the guy was a last minute replacement, plus he was unbeaten although against limited opposition but still he had never lost. When your training for 3 or 4 different styles it can affect your preparation. He got the win which is what mattered most (ask Witter) now its forward from here hopefully!

Well I wish him luck, but honestly after that performance I can't see him threatening the likes of But and Kessler.

I think he'd give Bute a run for his money, would be 50/50 IMO but I agree with you on Kessler

He clearly won the fight though. There was no doubts the pole had a monster chin, so I think he did well in beating him the way he did. but all i have to say is, lets hope he gets a good next fight.

[OumaFan]

You've gotta give Tam credit. Considering he's (allegedly) not Carl Froch, he's remarkably persistent in defending him against all the people that think he's utter shit.

For me it's hard to judge this guy after this weekend's fight. The guy had to prepare for like twenty different opponets, was the so called headliner being upstaged by the witter bradley fight, i think it was pretty impressive just in itself for him not to have fallen asleep during this fight. After the ref gave the ring instructions i was half ass expecting the camera to pan back just to show Albert Rybacki gone and another last minute opponet jumping through the ropes....ok i'm exagerrating but this whole experience must have been a huge let down after another for froch. With his only real motavation being witter letting down the crowd and the fight being shown on U.S. tv. Now just to be fair what i did see reguardless of the circumstances didn't look to threating to any of the other top guys in the division. He looked really slow, hands were low, and took a little long getting rid of a guy who miranda just for example i belive would have KO'ed in the first or second. Not a fair judge of what he really has to offer though.

Groupie love at his finest.

I actually hope Tam Seddon is right and Froch blows everybody away at supermiddle and then light heavy. I'd love to see an English hands-down no-defence guy just bomb everybody out easily but somehow I just can't see it.

I'd be delighted if Tam is laughing his head off at us when Froch sparks Kessler and Jermain Taylor though.

Oh! don't get me wrong... I like his style.
He's a fighter and likes come forward but come on let's be real here he hasn't fought any Top World Class fighter.

[Tam Seddon]

hahaha, im not Carl Froch, lol i wish. MySpace.com - Tam! - 17 - Male - southport, UK - www.myspace.com/manchild88 this is me!

But all i can say after this weekends fight is I PERSONALLY thought he did well against the pole. He was clearly dominant and YES he did want to put on a show and didnt take him as seriously as he could have done, even Carl admited that. As for fighting a top ten fighter its simply a matter of time before we see it. It was suppose to be Inkin this weekend but it didnt work out. I dont think he will simply 'blow them away' but I think the guy has real talent in the weight class and packs a major punch which would cause MANY problems to any fighter at 168. Yes I admit his defence would have to improve against a better fighter, but still to this day he hasnt had to prove it and his defence has proved okay so far, hence why he is still unbeaten. I think when he does fight a better fighter he will step up himself in terms of performance and rightly so, he will feel pressure and fight at his very best.

We will all have to wait and see how it goes for Froch, I hope and personally believe he can be up there with all of them. If he is a fraud like VD says he is, I would be gutted because he is my favourite fighter. But he wont be going down easy I can tell you that for nothing. You can all laugh at me if he does loose and I will put my hands up and say the best fighter wins. Im not going to be like most people and make shit up about him loosing, making excuses etc etc. If he is outclassed he is outclassed, simple as. But I cant see that happening so we will all have to keep watching him.

Froch is a poor fighter, his power is decent and can get him out of trouble, but that big nose will be flattened as soon as he gets in with the big boys, looking forward to Kessler taking him to pieces.
