Froch-Pascal Set !!!! Dec 6th

[Pugilistic]

Taylor was sparked in his last fight at middle and how many has he won at super middle?

He has no wins at supermiddleweight but as i said his performance against Pavlik the second time at 166 was a good performance even though he lost. Taylor would be a good test for Froch.

Sorry Tam, i like Froch but i also like Pascal. I think that if Pascal can keep from getting hit with a solid shot he wil probably win by desicion. its a very interesting matchup. but since i have nothing to win or loose on this fight well........good luck.

Taylor even having 2 losses in his last 2 fights and being knocked out would be absolutely head and shoulders above anyone that Carl has faced so far and there is the joke, how has he earned this shot?

He hasnt earned it at all, he keeps talking about Calzaghe much like Haye keeps talking about Wladamir Klitschko and this is how both have gained notoriety, Froch moreso as Haye has actually fought and beat world class fighters.

Enough of Taylor, he ducked Frochy end of!
Just found out this is to be screened live on ITV1

That goes up against the Khan comeback bill. Must be something in that scheduling

[ross]

Well , sad but true, more people will watch Khans fight than Frochs, Frochs fight will obviously mean more but Khan is the attraction.

I have heard alot about Paschal but looking at his record he doesnt seem to have any names either and in his last fight was hurt quite bad, it is a step up in that he is fighting someone the same league as himself and not shopworn or smaller.

It will be interesting but im not sure having a week chin against Froch is that bad as he doesnt throw a great deal, he is quite robotic, his foot work aint great, he is often left out of position while he does his posing.

As long as Paschals defence and movement is ok I think he wins but I dont really know much about about him, Froch does have good power but im still to be convinced he can make it count at the top level, against smaller fighters or older fighters whov had the resiliance beat out of them long before it will be a factor but as soon as he faces someone who can box and has a bit of desire I think he will look silly.

A few fighters have out jabbed and out manouvered him till they fell apar, like Magee and Dodson for instance and if they can then the better fighters surely will and wont flake out.

Just clued on as to who you are Ross hahaha
Somoene warned me you were a proper Anti Froch merchant a while back from another site
Magee never out jabbed him at all..i was ringside that night and Magee did well until Froch (with a knackered hand) dropped him in the 2nd or 3rd then hit him so hard he was on an Oxygen mask and out cold for nearly a minute

[ross]

My covers blown

No magee was outboxing him and Dodson was outjabbing him, until they fell apart again like they had before, theres a reason Froch didnt take the Calzaghe fight

[smashup]

You must have watched a different fight to the one i was at then
I think Joe is probably more interested in making millions of pounds really...
I could be wrong though

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Froch KOs Pascal

Good news that. Hennessey signed for 24 nights of boxing on ITV4, kind of shows up Frank and Khan for the greedy fickers they are, claiming that ITV weren't interested in boxing.

A man who's stepped in the ring with Bernard Hopkins 2, Kelly Pavlik 2 and Winky Wright ducked Carl Fraud? A 31 year old prospect. That's just idiotic. Fraud is just that. A fraud. Anybody that thinks Frauds come forward with your hands down, throwing upper cuts from the outside style would work against an elite fighter doesn't know Boxing. It's that simple. Fraud is a knock out waiting to happen. Yeah he might beat Pascal. But so what. Pascal is a heartless coward anyway. Why you think Pascal-Miranda never happened?

[Kirkland Laing]

I'm actually thinking "good luck Froch, knock him out then go on and defend the title against the top guys at the weight" but I just know as soon as I read his inevitable "I'm going to spark him" comments when he gets interviewed about the fight I'll want him to get beat.

[CutMeMick]

Can't stand Jean, so I'm rooting for Froch on this one...

Froch TKO mid-rounds...

[ross]

I havent seen much of Pascal and Froch may beat him but what does it prove?

Pascal is in the same position as Froch, almost the same amount of fights against no one of any consequence, the only difference being that Pascall has done it over 3 years and not 6

Regardless of what skills I may have missed from Froch, I think his age may hurt him, ok hes not had ANY hard fights but to wait till your 31 to face your first live opponent is a risk in itself.

His gullible supporters keep telling us that his reflexes are awesome, well ive seen him caught by alot of shots, including that windmill right hand from a sadly old Reid, if he cant avoide punches from old, retired, beat up, never was's then hes gonna have a shock when he steps in with someone who ive noticed is sharp and quick.

Pascal may not have alot of power but I saw he is quite snappy, with Carls slowing reflexes and never having had to learn to avoid anything dangerous, I can see Pascal peppering Froch and keeping a distance (because he may have read Tams assesments on Frochs awesome power) to a decision.

The other thing is, Pascal has boxed 67 rounds in 6 fights since the beggining of 07 compared to frochs 11 rounds in 3 fights, ok he may have the higher ko percentage but against who??

Pascal will do the distance easy, Froch will struggle.
