    Default Froch impressed last night!

    He handled the pole quite well and got him out in stlye. His speed wasnt at the best, simply because he wasnt fighting against somebody who was fast. He beat him at his game, looking for a good shot. He showed us last night that if he puts a barrage of punches he really will hurt them. Those punches were accurate and hurtful and you could see that last night. Some of the sting on those punches will cause problems to anybody at 168-175.

    He cant wait for a long time for his next fight and im hoping its in the next 2-3 months so we can see him in his world title showdown. He showed respect to JC, that was good to see too.

    The pole wasn't exactly a high-calibre opponent though was he? He barely threw anything back. I think Froch is telling himself he's world champion material, but I don't think he is.. not by a long shot.

    Froch is a good fighter and i know he didnt get up for this fight ( after the cancellation ) but he has way to many bad habits, and i think he has a very high opinion of himself , to be honest im sick of him running his mouth of , i just want him to take on a world class fighter.

    Why dont u think he is though? I know the pole wasnt the best fighter, but if you didnt realise, Inkin pulled out twice, prior to this fight and this resulted in a change of fighter twice. I think he looked very strong last night, and that pole had a fucking chin on him. We will see where Carl goes after this, but he looked awesome last night.

    Yea Tam i do think he is a good fighter and yes Inkin pulled out , which wasnt Carls fault , but i thought he looked 1 paced , poor hands down defence , and pretty sloppy , if im honest. I know he can do better , but the hands down style is risky to say the least.

    Well as Froch said at the end he was in there to put on a good knockout. He wasnt trying to box the guy, he was looking for big punches to get him out of there quick. If he had faught, he usually ups the pace in the later rounds or if he finds an opening early. Inkin is a totally different kettle of fish compared with the pole, but even so, some of those shots were very hurtful and powerful and I believe if anybody got caught with them they would fall. Accuracy is a good thing for carl, he doesnt waste needless energy at the start and picks his shots well. That can cause a lot of problems for fighters in the future too. His defence wasnt really tested, but as I have said before he knows his range very well and has very slick footwork. Its a good form of defence to have for a fighter and I believe with his powerhouse stlye he will be able to work everybody in the weight class. Although the hands need to be higher, he is so far doing well. Its easy for people to say he has a weak defence, but has hasnt ever been hurt for his defence to be pointed against. He isnt doing too bad at 23-0 19 kos if you ask me.

    Hes a great prospect and he showed that again last night. He is motivated and going places this year, keep it up Frochy !!!!!

    Yeah I was impressed by Froch last night . You could see the force in his punches . I'd still be worried though if he fought Kessler with his hands down like that cuz everytime he trades his chin is way up in the air. He can get away with it at this level but not in world class.

    Still a good powerful performance though .

    He was fighting a Polish club fighter. If he'd sparked him in the first 30 seconds it wouldn't have been impressive, but he didn't even put him down in four rounds. That Polish guy wouldn't even be an acceptable sparring partner for a guy like Kessler, and Froch hasn't fought anybody near world class yet. When he does he'll be facing somebody with as good or better handspeed/footwork/power and with a far better defence than Froch has. Let's see how impressive he looks then.

    He was fighting a third choice fighter, it wasnt his fault. That Polish guy had a pretty firm chin if you asked me, Carl was looking for a BIG shot to make it look better, if he had just gone for him maybe he could have ended it in the first. Hence why he threw that monster right uppercut...

    As ive said many times before, he is stepping up, Inkin was the step up but he pulled out twice. Whoever he fights next will be a step up because it will be for the WBC title. It's either JC or a highly ranked fighter fighting for the belt.

    He bottled his chance to fight Calzaghe.

    He'll get the belt given to him and will make a first defence against somebody not much better than the Polish tomato can, but eventually he'll have to face somebody world class and then we'll see how good he is.

    And Carl Froch didnt personally ring up Calzaghe and ask for a fight? He WANTS the JC fight more than anything! How much of a dumb post was that really. Have you even looked at the WBC top 15? there are a lot of fucking hard fighers in there and would test Froch. But can you not read, he was suppose to fight Dennis Inkin last night but he pulled out twice and then an Amercian pulled out. To even fight was good enough for froch to be honest.

    He was given the opportunity to fight Calzaghe a year ago and bottled it. The phone call on ITV was just a bit of pr for Froch.

    It's easy to look like Sugar Ray Robinson against fighters like that Polish guy. It's when you move up in class that you discover how good fighters are, and Froch hasn't fought anybody near world class yet. His last two fights were a club fighter and a porn star. Let's see how good he looks against a full-time world-class fighter in his prime. I think you're in for a bit of a shock when we do.

    You got to be fukking kidding me? Fraud looked like absolute garbage last night. That was a 1st round knock out fight if I ever saw one. I can't believe that 37 year old made it to the 4th round. Fraud tries to fight like
    he's Nassem Hamed. I have no doubt, Kessler, Miranda, Bute, Green would smoke this clown. The guy just ain't that fukking good. It was obvious. He and Witter were a disgraced last night. One of the worse nights of boxing ever

    Quite VD you are never happy and a British fighter NEVER ever pleases. It wasnt his fault he had to fight him. He was suppose to fight Dennis Inkin, ranked number 2 in the world. But HE pussied out twice, so it wasnt his fault at all. Why did he look garbage may I ask? He clearly won every round and threw A LOT of hurtful shots and was clearly in command, how is that possible garbage, explain please?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    Do you really think that telegraphed uppercut and that stalking your opponent with your hands down crap would work with a top level fighter? Seriously do you? He got away with it last night cuz he was fighting a 37 year old D level fighter. But he would never get away with that with a top level fighter. And you seriously got to know that.
