I am seriously up for Froch vs Pascal

This Pascal looks good...

 

Just a mention also Martin Gethin Vs Scott Lawton (lightweight English title) has been added to the bill, heard a week or so ago but think its offical now. Should be a good fight.

 

i must admit i dont think i have ever seen pascal box? i have heard hes a good fighter though, whats everyones thoughts on him?

 

Pascal looked awful his last few fights.

I am no fan of Froch, but he should take this rather easily.

 

Froch inside 8.

 

Froch UD, maybe a late stoppage, not sure about Pascal's chin.

 

I'd go for a late Froch stoppage, and I'm 100% with the people who have mentioned Carl maturing recently. Maybe an authority figure told him he was playing it all wrong? I didn't like the guy one bit the last couple of years, but will now definitely be rooting for him.

 

I'm excited about this fight because it's a nice styles match-up, because it will tell us (a bit) more about both fighters and because the winner will be in some very good fights soon.

About Froch...he has a public persona. Most people don't like it, but remember this: he is in it for the money just like every other pro fighter. Some talk more than others, some are better advised than others, and some make more money portraying themselves in the victim/anti-hero role, like Froch does. Is he a good guy? Only those who know him well can say that. Can he be a twat and a goog guy? Yes, he can! Does it really matter if he's a good guy? Not when it comes to his boxing...after all, we don't watch boxing because we're looking for moral role-models, right?

As long as he fights his mandatories and stops telling lies in the press about opponents ducking him etc. (i.e. as long as his professional ethical standards are not below par), he can say what he wants in my book...it makes little concrete difference.

Am I warming to him? No, I am not. But am I excited by his all-action aggressive, risk-taking style? You bet! And that's why I am interested in his career.:good
