Froch - What Next for the Cobra...?

[HattonTheHammer]

Froch beats taylor everyday of the week for me

too smart a fighter to get drawn into jermains style of fight and his ability to pick a punch and win rounds in small spells would be more than enough to see him take a unanimous points decision.

Kesslers the fight id like to see and what with US tvs reluctance with mikkel its a distinct possibility kessler-froch come 2009 could well happen!!

What is Jermain's style of fight?

I'm not convinced of either fighter at super middlweight. Jermain would beat Froch to the punch nine times out of ten. Jermain has a good jab. I see Jermain beating Froch for the first 5 rounds and then Froch stepping it up. The fight would be close and it would depend on Jermain's stamina.

carls predominently a slow starter that takes time to work his opponent out.

But as soon as he realised taylors method of fighting straight lines Froch would box taylors head off and maybe even force a late stoppage.

That win saturday was one of the most impressive performances from a british fighter this year and froch is worthy of the kudos he`ll rightfully receive for it.

To be honest next for the cobra should be get back to the gym and work on his defence, I was surprised at how easy a slow Robin Reid could tag him and Pascal had no trouble finding the target either. As much as I loved saturdays fight I can't see him beating Kessler or Taylor, Pavlik stopped Taylor but Taylor learned his lesson and has improved, also Im not convinced Frochs power is all its made out to be, I think he should go for Bute next, this would be a huge win for him IF he could pull it off...

I doubt he'll face any of the bigger names next.. looks like location problems making fights with Taylor, Bute, Mundine and maybe Kessler.. Andrade and Bika will travel but team Froch will probably want something easier for his first defence

Miranda?
Berrio?
Lacy?

Oh, please, let it be Miranda!!!! Pretty Please!!!

Left Hand that hangs by the knee. Fighter is slow to get up hand and doesn't roll his shoulder properly. Puncher with huge overhand right. Hmmm....see where this is going.

I want to see carl move onto a unification, he needs big names as quick as possible. the fight was awesome, i do admit carl needs to work on his defence, but hes always throwing one back. I think he was always in control in the Pascal fight and he looked like he really does belong at the 168 elite.

I want to see him fight Bute or Kessler next, both would be very entertaining fights and I would back my man the whole way !

the Taylor vs Lacy fight was a WBC eliminator so i guess we should be seeing a Taylor. fight though i wouldnt mind a Kessler fight but i doubt he (kessler) would take it.

As Miranda has neither a granite chin nor impenetrable defense, that would be a compelling fight. The only thing I'd be certain of would be that it would not go the distance.

Froch could certainly spark Miranda if he lands first. This fight would be over in three rounds. I would actually give a slight edge to Froch. Froch is a better boxer by a good amount, but his bigger flaw playing right into Miranda's greatest strength. That makes it interesting, and Froch find himself sparked very easily.

don't mistake entertaining for impressive. Defensively he was awful, and couldn't counter the wild shots coming his way. He showed OK stamina, a good chin, decent (but in no way devastating) power.

The question is whether this is enough to compete with the top guys, Taylor at 168 is still an unproven commodity so hard to say. Bute may be fragile enough to get to, but he's a decent boxer and could easily UD Froch in Canada. Bika and Andrade are interesting, guys with similar attributes to Froch. Andrade may be an even worse boxer, but has better stamina, it should be fun finding out.
