    According to Setanta Rubin Williams is having immigration problems and Albert Rybacki has stepped in on short notice.

    It is looking gloomier and gloomier for Froch. I'm not sure what would be better - blowing this guy away in two rounds, or being taken the distance looking ****!

    Either way, no bugger is going to take him seriously when the inevitable trash starts coming out of his cakehole.

    I like Froch, even though he seems to overrate himself.
    He keeps banging on about beating Henry Porras which sums it up right now. Maybe these guys are ducking him, but he needs a breakthrough fight and fast.

    Just heard an interview with Froch who was huffing & puffing about this. Looks of big sighs. He sounds very frustrated.

    He also went on to say:

    "The Calzaghe fight... it's about 60/40 in favour of it not happening but I still hope it does. He's on about fighting Roy Jones but he's difficult to negotiate with. A fight with me would be massive. It would probably be too big for the Nottingham Arena..."

    Carl Froch said: “It’s always difficult to fight an unbeaten fighter as he doesn’t know how to lose and obviously he will put everything on line as he could gatecrash the world title but I am in prime condition and looking forward to fighting on Saturday night.”

    ...damn...embarrassing...

    Carl needs to give up on Joe. He's never been in the picture.

    Joe needs to give up on Jones. It's a difficult fight for nothing.

    Isn't Rubin a yank, what's difficult about getting into the country? Perhaps he has a criminal record or something.

    Can't believe I'm about to say this but I feel sorry for Froch actually. Inkin has pulled out twice, Williams pulls out now he gets this guy with a couple of days to go. Calzaghe won't give him the time of day. He has a dodgy knee. Very frustrating for him.

    Tyson got here alright. Probably doesn't own a passport like 84% of Yanks.
