    I have only see clips of this guy fight. How good is he anyway? He seems really strong but it is hard to cast a judgment on him until he gets in there with top opposition.

    What are your impressions?

    He seems a talent out of the past best Hamed mould. He has a brutal right hand but is open to the jab and straight right hand. His only semi decent opponent Brian Magee was a solid journeyman boxer and gave Froch fits until Froch caught him in the 11th.

    Taylor and Inkin openly ducked him but that is no excuse for fighting the worst Europe has to offer usually only giving a few weeks notice. IMO should have been stepped up 5 fights ago when Bika was mebtioned since then fights with Mundine, Inkin and Zuniga have fallen through and i will use the term real cans brought in from eastern europe.

    Could win a title but a good boxer would easily outpoint him. And he has 2 knicknames in the UK one is the "slowworm" as he calls himself "the Cobra" yet was unwilling to fight anybody and has taken till 31yo to secure a Pascal fight. And "The Froak" --- the term "Froak" means to avoid and Path of least resistance.

    Good to watch little substance and he is always belittling great fighters.

    Yeah I noticed he has a mouth!haha. Nothing wrong with that as long as he backs up his own hype. Pascal is the same way though. He brags himself up like you would not believe. He probably has a bigger mouth than Froch. Nobody is sold on Pascal yet either so it seems this fight will be a good test for both of them.

    He's got massive ability, but his defence is to suspect, gonna get knocked out when he fights a big hitter.

    Im not sold on Pascal but as i said i think even a middling boxer with any savy would take him to school.

    Froch will have a punchers chance against any1 and will be dangerous cause he carries alot of power but he has a very poor defence and when he steps up in class he will fall short.
