Carl Froch vs Jean Pascal Quality Fight So Far

[RozzySean]

Great entertaining figt that answered a lot of Q's. Froch has a very good chin, but little defensive capabilities, he has decent power but isn't the wrechink machine that his fans wanted everyone to believe. He's shown that he belongs competing with the best in the division.

IMO he'd be the clear underdog against Kess. 50/50 with Bute, with the advantage going with the home fighter, and also 50/50 with Taylor (I reckon Taylor is more skilled but won't be able to take Carl out.)

The funny thing is, we all ready knew his strengths and weaknesses.. they were just highlighted by the higher calibre fighter...

His chin has always looked solid at lower level.. and now passed the test in higher class.

His defence has always looked awful.. and got totally exposed as that in higher class.

His power has always been decent without looking dynamite.. which showed in higher class.

I reckon Kessler would slaughter him. He has a good chance against the others though.

I agree. I wasn't sold on his chin before the weekend, and his defence was actually worse than I anticipated against the higher caliber opponent. Rozzy sean is right when he says Froch isn't with the upper echelon of the sport, but neither are Bute/Andrade, which gives him a good shot of beating them. But he simply hasn't got the much vaunted power to take out Kess and no way he wins a decision. Every single time Pascal threw a wild hayemaher from the outside he bloody landed it.

Pascal was gracious in defeat as well, he accepted that he lost without bullshit in his interview, while he pointed out the scoring should have been closer. And he was rioght, the 118-110 score was criminal considering the man's effort.

He would have a shot to beat beat Andrade or Bute, but he's certainly not a class above them. Bute is a far superior boxer who has faced much better competition than Froch. I'd make Bute a pretty big favorite. Froch against Andrade would be interesting, but can you see Froch taking Andrade's shots as well has he took Pascal's? Those wild haymaker you mentioned, what if those had been from Andrade?

100% agree …I don’t see Cobra winning more than 1 or 2 rounds in a Kessler fight and I’d go 60/40 on Bute or Taylor, they already proved they can handle tough opposition if are not hard pressed.
With Andrade is another story, there are not just those wild haymaker, I have also some doubts that Froch has the stamina to keep the pace , it would be a good fight though.

I love fights like this. They bring a tear to my eye.

The other thing about Froch is that he dosent like to go to the Body as much as id like.

Every time Pascal bent low (way below the waist most times) i was screaming at Froch to dig in with the Left Down stairs.

Froch Neglected the left hook mostly of teh fight. Considering the fact he holds that hand so low, how pointless is that

Even with andrade's poor technical abilities he'll be landing on Froch regularly. Would be a hell of a brawl and a bit of a pick 'em.
