Noticing A Change In Froch

Kessler loss, specifically the fact he couldve won the fight if he had been smarter.

And if roger tillerman wasn't a judge as well

 

This.

Kessler loss was the best thing that ever happened to Froch.

 

This.

Combined with how well he done vs AA maybe he's going to actually start listening to McCracken!

 

This.

 

he seems a far more confident fighter than previously. I know he has always suffered from self doubt.

Its good to see him that way but I worry he is overlooking Johnson.

 

:rofl is it just me or is Carl Froch one of the most confident people in boxing.

 

well its just you as he is one of the least. or was.

 

Nah. Its all a front. The bloke is apparently terrible when it comes to self confidence.

 

Froch has shown he has the tools to fight in more than one way, he can mix it up on a fight-to-fight basis. (I'm not saying he has the adaptability of an Archie Moore, but you know what I mean.)

Froch can box clever - I'd love to see what he can do with Bute and Ward.

 

It's not the greatest thing to be saying though when you've been trying to sell yourself all these years.

"Alright lads, as you well know, I've been in a few cobblestone tear ups, but those days are over...."

 

This.

Froch on the Abraham fight: "It was me in there throwing the punches, but Rob [McCracken] was there giving me step-by-step instructions. It's probably the first time in my whole career, with no disrespect to Rob McCracken, the first time I've actually listened to him from start to finish in a fight. I switch off, I do my own thing and sometimes I rely on that big punch. This time, from round 1 to round 12 I was switched on, focused and listening to Rob, and it helped."

 

He was back in the amateurs and early in the pro ranks but nowadays he exudes confidence, even away from the media.

However, I can safely say he is not overlooking Johnson. He's treating this fight as seriously as any.

 

Froch's boxing skills are underrated IMO which is great for Forch because people underestimate him. I still expect that people think he is a one trick pony ie good chin good engine decent power.

Froch when he wants to can dictate fights with his jab. There is a certain intangible awkwardness about him as well that you probably cant appreciate unless you are in the ring with him.

The Kessler loss I think he was a victim of his own machismo he wanted to beat Kessler and he was capable of it but he wanted to destroy him in a devastating fashion to help his comparisons with Calzaghe.

 

I think we can all agree that Froch is no Calzaghe.
