    Me and a pal just got flights to New York, £310 return, then we'll have the Thurs and fri nights out in NY and train/coach it Sat am to Foxwoods. Its about 4 hours away.

    We just bought the best tickets we could get on the foxwoods website - only $200 each. They literally just went on sale :bbb

    The fight is on Carl Froch's website and the Hennessy Sports website and the tickets are on sale, not sure how much confirmation you're looking for Decebal?

    Official confirmation, buddy. You know...confirmation that the deal was signed and dusted. Either that or an explanation why the deal is not yet done and dusted.

    I reckon so. I don't think this can fail to be a barnburner, and in a relatively small arena it should be great.
    Hopefully a few real boxing fans will make the trip over rather than the tiresome 'who are ya' football crowd. Come on the Cobra :good

    :think

    So...if this nonsense is unimportant, why does it take so long to get an official confirmation? What could be so unimportant it takes weeks to negotiate?:huh

    Froch's gone quiet becuase he was hopking Taylor wouldn't take the fight. Now Taylor has called his bluff and more importantly is the Mandatory. The only way Froch can get out of this fight now is to drop the vacant belt he won against the part time policeman, Pascal.

    Nah...Froch wants this fight badly because it's great risk/reward, given the alternatives.

    I like Taylor, and felt he narrowly won - arguably drew - both BHop fights. but, for me, he lost it when he didn't beat Pavlik first time out. he was so pumped, and so close to stopping Pavlik... froch is big, powerful, and his best punches very, very accurate. he lacks handspeed, but he'll have enough

    hmmm...what's the point of being accurate if you're slow? Anyone can be accurate and slow. Granted, when you have a lot of power and are tough as hell, that might help, but still...if the other guy is sharp, fast and doesn't make silly mistakes, and knows how to survive in tricky situations...you are a bit screwed.
