The Cobra Speaks Post Abraham:Have you seen this?

Good interview, thanks. Been a fan of his since he KO'ed JT. Not because I don't like Taylor, I'm actually a fan of his too, but he fought well in that fight & impressed me with the victory.

Hard to root against Johnson in the next one, but I really wanna see Froch take on Ward.

 

How anyone can hate Froch is beyond me. He couldn't give a **** about the glitz and glamour that comes along with being a champ, he just wants to fight the best and provide the best life for his family... its a disgrace he gets no mainstream media attention in the UK, although that could change in the future as i've heard Adam Smith is interested in bringing his fights to Sky.

 

How popular is boxing in the UK? Does everyone know who Khan, Haye and Hatton are?

 

His boxing in the Kessler fight is so underrated. I thought his jab won him that fight but I do like watching Froch I do hope he stays versatile. You can box well Froch so do it when you need to. Even though you have big power you don't have to slug it out all of the fight. Can't wait to see more of his future. I used to think he was an ass and I thought Dirrell beat him(still do) but at least he's willing to fight anyone and despite losing he's shown heart. I wish more undefeated fighters and fighters in general were like him, he's great for the sport.

 

I don't get what having a hot girl has to do with his career but ok. Thanks to her, I can't watch Froch-Abraham again because of her piercing voice and constant shouting lol. I do wish them happiness and I hope they are truly in love and wish their kid(s) happiness too.

 

Khan, Haye and Hatton are the only current names that most British people will have heard of.

 

boxing is a small sport here in the UK. you'll be lucky to find many people over here who have so much as heard of the top uk boxers out there, let alone the likes of Cleverly, Brook, Degale etc. Everything is massively shadowed by football.

 

yea I'm hoping Johnson has enough left to upset froch and bute if not froch will be the man once he gets rid of that fake bute

 

Froch is one of the TOUGHEST fighters out there, he takes on all and ducks no one, and tells it like it is. What's not to love about this guy.

The Cobra is a true warrior and fighter. Confident, but honest with himself. The post fight interview after Kessler said a lot about him. Froch showed he could box the **** out of Abraham, when so many people had him getting KTFO.

Carl has a real good shot at pulling off a S6 win. Even if he doesn't, his stock will still be high when it's over.

 

Great interview from a classy champ..This is why people can respect the Cobra ..

 

And do most people who watch football watch their fights?

 

I've never hated Froch,it was just his sloppiness and attitude in his fights on the way up just used to annoy,I really never thought he'd become what he has.You've got to give the man full respect,in an age when lots of fighters are protected and avoid hard fights he'll take on anyone anywhere,and he only wants to fight top guys.He's also a class act,confident about himself but he doesn't cross the line into real trash talk.

 

Carl Froch the man LOL! Beaten by an one-eyed Kessler! Yeah right! He had the chance to fight for the IBF eliminatory with Bute but he got scared and ducked him. In his latest interviews he doesnt seem interested to fight Bute after S6 also.

 

Froch can definitely fight. He's an honest guy that tells people how he feels. But I'd love to see Glen Johnson score a win. Nothing against Froch but it would be an incredible story if Johnson could do it. BTW, if Froch wins the super 6, how about him fighting Hopkins at 175. Bet Hopkins would never take that fight. It would be another loss to a "white boy" and he knows it.

 

Even young people who like sport probably wouldnt have heard of Froch or anyone except those above. Calzaghe has a bit of recognition but is far from a household name, better known for being on a celebrity dance show id think. Everything, except for rugby in the north, is basically ignored by the mainstream which is devoted to football. Unless theres a saturday fight night on or khan/haye are fighting then youll be suprised to see more than a square inch in a national newspaper on boxing.
