    aye good fight

    i would still have Froch at #5 behind Kessler, Bute, Andrade, and Taylor (in that order).

    congrats to the brits

    and this guy's supposed to suffer from nerves !
    he's certainly top 5 now aye. in the words of Don King " you made a believer out of me !"
    well done frochy, did himself proud last night, and no shame in defeat for pascal

    The early rounds both fighters were seriously nervous. Did you see how stiff Froch's jab was. He had a good openig flurry of punches but early in the fight he seemed really tense and I doubted whether he could do it to be honest.

    same here. there's really no need to be nervous with a chin like that.that fight should help him believe in himself more, he's got a chance against everyone at SMW now, although kessler could **** him up.
    superb fight though

    Great fight. Puts him into the mix at 168 now. Having the WBC to bargain with will help him no end.

    Kessler

    Bute

    Taylor

    Andrade

    Froch

    Inkin

    Bika

    Pascal

    It was a great fight. Edge of the seat stuff. Nice to see all the brits winning last night. And i think il just pretend Manny is from Newcastle as that is the happiest ive been for a long time when he won that fight

    Froch - Pascal was always going to be overshadowed.

    i caught the last coupla rounds when I came in last night, but ill have to watch the repeat before I can really make a comment.

    It's probably because Pacquiao's nuts are on everyones mouth right now (including mine). You might want to wait until it dies down...

    I heard that it may be a candidate for fight of the year?

    Entertaining fight,Froch showed a graet chin and heart but thats all,he's **** poor at everthing else besides taking a shot.He will not hang onto his WBC strap for long.
