Can't believe Froch didn't listen to McCracken...AGAIN

I watched the showtime coverage again for the corner work and i did notice that as well. But honesty no amount of listening would've helped. Carl just wasn't good enought to beat Ward.

 

jesus could have gave him advice and he still would be no match for Ward

 

He seemed totally lost in the ring.

 

I am sure McCracken was saying to froch

"hit his left fist with ur face as much as u can Carl!"
"good u broke his arm!"
"do it to his right now!"

 

Now that would make boxing interesting!

 

I couldn't hear what was said in the corner, so perhaps you could enlighten me?

McCracken is a a highly respected trainer and I thought that him and Froch did great together. I'm a little surprised.

 

Do you have a link? I'd like to read it.

Seriously carl is stupid for not listening to McCracken, but as you say it probably wouldn't have made a difference.

 

Don't hang this loss on a fighter/corner disconnect in the ring.

Carl admitted after the loss that he barely trained for infighting/clinch-fighting at all and that he paid for it. That's as much McCracken's folly as his own. More, actually.

McCracken failed Froch in the preparation far more than Froch failed McCracken between the bells.

 

That's fine. I found it:

Unfortunately no details:

 

If they didn't train for infighting then ...............ppppffffttttt....... What a noob mistake man. Ward excells at that discipline and that's the way he fights.

I cannot believe it.

 

Froch hardly ever listens to Rob, TBH as IB said McCracken should of trained that part of his fight plan.

TBH when a coach/trainer begs a fighter to do something there's a problem. I mean this sorta stuff 'Carl, please listen to me mate, i need you to work the jab then put right hand behind. come on Carl..' it's Rob's body language that makes it seem more begging then telling.

For me there to friendly to work together. He says Rob's like a brother and that's probably part of problem. If i was Rob i'd have a meeting and say 'you don't listen to me from now on, i'm done training you'. To late really but just something that maybe should of been done long while back. He's only ever listened in the AA fight really..
