I dont hate Froak! do i think he is a prick... yes i do.
Froak will load up as he does every fight (he cant box watch Magee) he uses that low left hand as a range finder for his right hand left hook combo. Bute and Kessler are superbly schooled and would dart in and out landing on Froak as his defence even against bums is open.
He could get lucky and land a bomb but Froak is a one trick pony Bute and Kessler are not.
I dont easily sell on guys who have done nothing yet scream king dickdom ive been burned too many times.
He learnt a lot from the Magee fight, I agree he was trying to just look for that punch. But at the end of the day he knew it was coming. I think against Pascal hes going to have to box more than he usually does but he will find the openings. If he hurts Pascal he wont be able to just stand there and box all night. He will have to trade and he will crumble. Some rounds Froch will loose ie against Dodson but hes setting them up because he knows that its coming. Hes getting to be very effective at 168. I cant wait!
Ross,
Didn't Froch beat the crap out of your boyfriend Robin Reid?
I recall you saying that Reid would wind back the clock and beat Froch...
Now that, my dear...is gay![]()
I know you're just making a point here but Reid was never going to pose a serious threat to Froch in that fight (maybe a punchers chance early at most); Reid was well passed it at that stage but I'll always feel sorry for Reid after that decision against Otke for the IBF belt
Ah right, thats it, youve put me right off him again
The reason he hasnt hit the deck yet is because he hardly fights and when he does its retreads, oaps and midgets
As for Carl getting the hell lout of trouble, are you trying to say any of his opponents so far have been capable of pputting anyone in trouble?
He hasnt been tested so far, he hasnt had to get out of trouble, hes getting caught by the lesser opponents which is why I find it ridiculous anyone takes his claims of greatness serious![]()
at the end of the day they werent as bad as you say they arent. They are capable of putting up a fight, but its alright you saying that they didnt fight back, the simple fact is they dont and they didnt have a plan B. Carl is a very dangerous fighter and hes going to give problems to everybody at 168
Ok, im satisfied now, even Tam Sedon, Frochs biggest vocal support is agreeing that Carl needs to do some fighting.
As a fighter, I see Carl has flaws, he poses, leaves his hands low, doesnt have the reflexes to move out the way of punches with a low guard, hasnt fought a decent comp to prepare himself as hes got too used to relying on his power against opponents who are intimidated to throw. After his last fighta im not convinced hes that big a puncher either, Rybaki was blowing in the second from the very short notice but he still ended on his feet and took alot of Carls shots well.
I think Carl has left a step up too late, old dogs dont leanr new tricks, hes gonne struggle with Bute.
Your actually wrong in every single thing you have said there Ross! His guard isnt the best I agree but his range and footwork is the way Carl defends himself. If he knows hes in trouble he gets the hell out of there and his reactions of punches are good. Hes never hit the deck so his defence cant be that bad? Froch even said after the Rybaki fight that he was looking for one punch to end it in style. He was the 3rd replacement, he was a nobody. Its Inkins fault that you didnt see the best in Froch and you will see the best in Froch against Pascal
HE IS LEARNING NEW TRICKS THOUGH !!!!!!!!!!!! and hes getting better every fight he has, hes not that old, god B hop is 43 and still going and fighting at the top. Age isnt everything, hes a lot better now than he was at 27 isnt he?
