    Froch has now fought, one after the other: Pascal in the UK, Taylor in the US, Dirrell in the UK, Kessler in Denmark, Abraham in the UK or Germany (to come).


    Full credit to Froch, imo, for taking these series of fights and I feel it a little unfair to knock him too much for losing in a decent brawl on another mans turf tonight.

    That's a fairly serious series of opponents straight after each other, imho.

    The same can be said for everyone else in the super six though. Or did I miss the point?

    Also, the Pascal and Taylor fights were not in the Super Six, so yes, yes you did. : )

    Can I play devils advocate?

    Pascal - What's he done?

    Taylor - Shot.

    Dirrell - Lost.

    Kessler - Lost.

    Not a lot there to be honest is there?

    It's the attitude to take on these fights (sometimes away from home), I'm commenting on, first and foremost.

    I like it and wish to see more of it.

    By the time all these fighters come out of this tourny they are gonna have some of the toughest consecutive competition in the sport.

    The "whats Pascal done?" question is easy to answer...he became the WBC Light Heavyweight champion.

    Many more fights like that and they'll be all shot to **** just in time for Bute to mop up the winner...
