    Mmph.

    Not only is this bad for Froch in terms of any prestige from the fight getting repeatedly lowered, but also last-minute switches like this always have the potential for an upset.

    It's rapidly turning into a no-win situation for him. The only thing he can do is take this guy out as quickly as possible.

    well...hopefully he'll go straight for the world title shot in the summer.

    i wonder if you can get odds on froch opponents pulling out of fights???

    What do you expect him to say "this guy is an utter plum so you might as well put a repeat of Rising Damp on the box instead".Give the guy a break,it isnt his fault the opposition keep pulling out is it?

    Also Mosely-Judah has been scrapped which was to be shown on Setanta I think. Looking like a barren few weeks!

    I seem to remember Tony Dodson twice pulling out of a Froch fight before he was inevitably knocked out

    Jeez. I was kinda hopeful of the Rubin fight but this is getting silly now. Froch is unlucky this time and I still hope he gets his shot at a decent opponent sometime soon.


    I do feel sorry for Hennesy over this bill. The team had put together a fantastic set of fights at the top of the card and now it looks shocking.

    You sure about that? As far I know (by regulary checking their site) that fight has never been confirmed on their live boxing schedule. I hope setanta pick it up as sky haven't picked it up yet.

    He no longer has a dodgy knee. His knee is very strong these days.

    I'll believe that when I see it. His mobility was hampereby it in the Reid fight.
