Carl Froch vs Jean Pascal Quality Fight So Far

[WelshDevilRob]

The thing that really stuck out was the slow pace - almost like at times the fight was being fought in slow motion. Both fighters looked like nerves had drained them early on.

Froch had a better range than Pascal - Carl had the distance spot on while Pascal would often fall short with a jab. Both took and landed tremendous shots - it is fair to say that they were both were far to easy to hit.

Froch I thought was looking tired at mid point and at times ragged while Pascal's output just faded - he didn't have the engine to throw volumes of punches while Carl seemingly got a second wind.

Superb action, drama and it was tense and explosive. The fight had everything and both proved there hearts and chins and the post fight interviews proved both men had class and dignity.

Superb fight and a rematch in the future would be great.
Froch definately won - no doubt about that - the early rounds were close but Froch won the last few in my book.

I thought it was a brilliant fight.

Both should be praised for fighting their bollocks off.

It was closer than the scorecards but the right man won. Well done big nose.

Yeah great fight last night.I kept on shouting at the t.v for Froch to keep his damn left hand up after getting tagged all the time from Pascal's over right hands!Lets see if Calzaghe steps up to the plate and gives us all what we really want and fight Froch!

Well done Froch.


It really would'nt surprise me if there's a Froch vs Pascal rematch somewhere in the near future!

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.)

Reminded me of Benn v Gman a little bit and it was a proper scrap with both landing wicked punches throughout the 12.
I had Froch by 2 or 3 and he showed a great chin but needs to fire off that jab way more if he were to face a Kessler and win.
BIG rumours he's gonna fight Taylor at the Garden and i think the Cobra would wipe the floor with him and i think he'd give Kessler a tough fight and might have the awkward style to even beat him.
One of the best fights in the UK for a while.
Froch is a force at Super middle!..Simple as.

It was entertaining in as much as they were quite evenly matched, both are limited skills wise, both get hit alot and neither has a ko punch.

If Kessler or Calzaghe, were to ave faced either of those Two it wouldnt have been exciting because they would have been figuyred out very quickly and controlled.

You also have to remember that they are both used to fighting journeymen, people who they have lots of advantages over, as soon as they face someone on their own level they struggle, when they move up again theyll struggle more, this win does nothing for Frochs standing as Pascal wasnt tested himself, Pascal is known to have a shaky chin and he fought very wild with no worrys of Carls power
