Froch is a bit of an anomaly. His habit of winning fights he ought to lose annoys a lot of people, but his fan base continues to grow. Many fans over rate his "boxing ability" based on the Abraham fight. AA was always going to lose the first time he faced a tall, heavy handed fighter who didn't come off the "D" list. Carl's interviews are alternately hilarious and ridiculous depending on the subject matter. In the ring he's entertaining.
Pavlik is done, he is finished. He will never be able to get a fight against someone on froch's level. And who was that bum he just went life and death with in his last fight?
13 month lay-off against a undefeated fighter who has fought mostly at LHW and barely any film on him? Alphonso Lopez :hi:
Taylor 2- Both fighters were GUN SHY :deal B-HOP- Need i say more? :smoke Lopez- Undefeated fighter who has fought more than 3/4 of his fights at LHW. Which PAVLIK HURT HIM 4 TIMES just didnt have the killer instinst to finish with his STR8 Right Hand! if that fight was 12 rds he would have KO'd Him in 11th! actually would have been i think the 7th if he would throw the STR8 right!
For some reason, Froch and Pavlik have always been linked. Even before they faced common opponents, they were compared and people asked "Who would win?". Strange. Anyway, Froch is a different calibre of fighter to Pavlik. He'd stop him within 8 rounds.
Absolutely no way would Pavlik get stopped by Froch! Could froch beat him by way of UD,SD,MD. Yes. Froch gets hit just as much as Pavlik if not more. Pavliks Defense is under-rated tho IMO. Most Punches dont always hit him clean, noramlly deflected off PAvlik's gloves. The style Froch has with his hands held low would not be good. A Brawl type of fight always would favor a Kelly Pavlik-Iron Chin, Hits like a freight train.! I like you Jack, and i have defended you! but I know my fighter! I know what he can do if he is 100% Focused! :good
Good fighter and an entertaining one as well. It's incredible how much success he has had with his lack of speed and athletic gifts.
