I think its more of a case of effective punching whilst in the clinches, against SOG and, depending on how the ref reacts to the clinch, he may be better to tie up SOG and wait for the split and go back to the out side, this way SOG is left frustrated having to cross Zones again, this may cause him to use that head butt. If the ref just leaves them in the clinch and carl starts raising his hands and looking at the ref, he may get a dirty cheap one or two from SOG..in this fight, he'd be better to lock him up tight, keep his chin down and wait for the break but knowing Froch.....hes gonna want to Blaze away! and this is why he should be the winner..he's in it to fight not just to win and get paid..such a Legendary Charicter.
I thank you for wanting to give Froch this bout in the UK, not only becuase hes done all the leg work but because SOG has done none. Main problem for everybody is 52 pence to the dollar mate! Fans, promoters, fighters all get paid a whole lot less. Las Vegas seems to be Frochs desired location, go to the BBC home web page and go to the sport section, theres a radio interview you can listen to. But yes, Forest ground would be Frochs Dream come true and if he KO's SOG thats where his first defence will be im sure. Trent bridge. The main problem is CA economy has gone Bust and that is why any sporting belt thats in CA is staying there...its a source of Revenue and thats exaclty why if you go to CA for a fight, you got to KO to win, always against a stacked Ref and terrable judge's. UFC< STRIKE_FORCE or BOxing.
haha this is wild. Andre Ward is so much faster and more skilled than Froch. I will bet all ANYONE on this forum, anything that that AW beats Froch.
Pascal was a step up in class,and too fast and heavy handed for Froch. Taylor was a step up in class,and too fast and heavy handed for Froch. Dirrell was gonna be too fast and elusive for Froch. Kessler was an unknown due to various issues in and out of the ring. Abraham was going to punish Froch because Froch had no defence. Johnson was going to punish Froch because Froch had no defence. Thing is,he just keeps winning and proving the haters wrong. Some fighters just find a way to win. :good
Ward has to be the guy to beat, he may have butted kessler to death but he also dominated the fight and froch went life and death with kessler, i know styles and all that but id be very suprised if froch won, he may have a chance if the fight was in the UK, but it aint
In one of the interviews Froch gave shortly before the Johnson fight,he was asked how his preparation was going,he said it was going well but he still hadn't gotten used to the time difference,and made a joke about being ready for breakfast at midnight.
Some of you UK teens are hilarious. how long you been watching boxing, 6 months? SOG is not clowning around. I did not think Froch won his fight with Andre D. SOG is a young Bernard Hopkins.
If hes such a great fighter then he needs to get his arse out of Jokeland away from his home town Ref's and judges, stack a few odds against him self and prove it..after all theres only one reality here..yes hes good at 5,11 and 168 against people whom he spared with in his early days,,marcus johnson from J princes in houston to name one. Froch is actually a sizable cruizer weight dieted down to a 168. Froch's foot work has gotten better since hes had to do all the traveling, in a ironic way. I even thought the Bika fight with ward was only won due to alot of ruff head movment on the ropes and may i add, the Ref letting it happen way too much. Lets place SOG and Froch on Even ground with a more nutral Ref and see how SOG swims then..i think hes going to even struggle to keep his head above water, never mind manage a single HONEST lap. Froch all the way.
Ill take that Bet, if hes so much stronger and faster, then he should have no problem in going away from home to prove that. right?.
Being ready for breakfast at midnight would be perfect -- that's about fight time, no? Lets put that aside, can you imagine: "I would have killed Ward, knocked him out! -- if it hadn't been for the terrible case of jet lag I had. I just felt the whole time like taking a nap. My eyelids were heavy. I asked my corner in between the 8th and 9th round: 'please, please, just let me get a little shuteye -- 1 minute, it's all I need!'". jet lag!
