Thanks for the link Skel,
360 is so much better than 24/7
That vid was very revealing . A class fight between two warriors but one was clearly a broken man after the decision was announced. Carl apologised to his missus, then the excuses started. He wanted to pull out the press con afterwards but Mcracken told him he better do it cuz there was nothing wrong with him. Then at the press con he said he would pull out the tournament if he doesnt get home advantage next time. His confidence has really been shattered beyond repair. Compare that with Kessler who was joking after the Ward fight and has come back like a true champ. Even Dirrell coped better. Carl seems to have taken defeat worst and he still isnt over it now.
What he needs is a morale booster and a comeback win but instead next up he meets one of the most deadly one punch KO artists in the sport. Carl will have never felt power like he will when he meets Arthur who has sent his last 3 opponents into casualty after the fight.
I know afew people who are like Carl who share similar character traits. Nice once you get to know them but they switch between seriousness and arrogance which is a front to cover their insecurities. Carls mask has totally been destroyed. He said himself after the fight "everything is going to be different now" Carl is more mentally fragile than he makes out.
Good to see Kess enjoying his success after the fight in the club with all the ladies. I think his spot in the finals is secure. In contrast Carl will be looking at retirement after the Abraham fight.
