Jean Pascal Sparring with Froch for His Fight with Taylor!

The last time they met it was a pitch battle that many felt was the fight of the year in 2008. Now Hennessy Sports and Groupe Yvon Michel are pleased to announce that WBC Super Middleweight champion Carl Froch (24-0, 19 KO’s) and Montreal’s Jean Pascal (22-1, 15 KO’s) are working together for Froch’s title defense against former undisputed Middleweight champion of the world Jermain Taylor, set for April 25, at the MGM Theatre at The MGM Grand Foxwods. Call it round thirteen. “I know Jean is a class act, and a top-notch pro. I found that out last December,” Froch said of their grueling twelve round battle for the then-vacant WBC Super Middleweight title that Froch won via unanimous decision. “We both fought like our lives were on the line, and after going to war like we did, you get a real appreciation for a person. Besides, by the time camp with Jean is finished, I’ll be as ready as possible for Jermain Taylor.” Pascal is equally enthused about his new training partner. “After being in the same ring as Carl last December, I know first hand that he’s an elite warrior,” Pascal said. “And with a big fight of my own coming up in a few months, I know he’ll be great to help me prepare for battle.” Froch vs. Taylor, billed as “Continents Collide,” can be seen live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING beginning at 9 PM Eastern.


Excellent sparring partner to have for the Taylor fight. We all remember their last fight together and what a war it was. Froch seems to be highly prepared for his upcoming fight with Taylor. Should be a damn good fight!:bbb
