Froch on Sky
Re: Froch on Sky
Froch did a good interview with iFilm earlier too, came across very well.
Being in Vegas around all the boxing royalty seems to suit him.

And rightly so... I slapped a guy a few years back that used to bully me and I still tell my tale whenever I have had a drinkG0mez wrote:Groves fan are probably best turning over when he's on, because Froch is gonna troll the sh*t out of him at every chance. He might even throw a David Brent wink at the camera for him too. He had 6 months of grief from the guy and his rabid supporters, and he's gonna twist that knife forever.

Re: Froch on Sky
I never have liked Froch and some people think I should because we both live in the East Midlands. I think its ridiculous supporting a fighter just because he lives in your area. My wife and I were Ricky Hatton fans even though neither of us have connections in Manchester. I do try to like Carl but then he says something which turns ne against him again. He arrogantly says he beat Taylor but he was losing every round when the KO came. He needs to be more humble and admit he was close to defeat that night.

Re: Froch on Sky
Erm, i know it's a big night for boxing and we're a bit excited about a major fight later and probably had a beer or two but he did actually beat Taylor in fantastic style. Nothing clearer than a ko victory especially in an opponents home country!WildWaylon wrote:I never have liked Froch and some people think I should because we both live in the East Midlands.

Hatton was probably losing on the cards against Maussa until he nearly took his head off with a left hook

Re: Froch on Sky
I think you had a few too many if you thought Hatton was ever behind against Maussa.

Carls fit missus: 'carl in gonna cook tea, what would you like?
Carl: well love, when i was fighting in front of 80,000 people at Wembley, i was thinking, i ant had lasagne since before camp, then i knocked him out, so love, i would like lasagne for tea.
Carls fit bird: okay carl, ill cook it now, by the way mums coming to visit tommorow
Carl: is she? That's fantastic news, here do you remember when i fought in front of 80,000 people at Wembley and sparked George out? Your mum visited that day too
Carls fit bird: yeah i remember that, carl can you put eastenders on Tele?
Carl: yeah of course, i remember last summer, i was in the dressing room of Wembley, about to walk out in front of 80,000 people and i was thinking, Eastenders is based in this city. I then went out and sparked George groves out

Re: Froch on Sky
Yes Froch did beat Taylor with a KO, but in the final round with only seconds to go. Froch as good as he is couldn't have planned that. Had Froch got a share of the rounds then fair enough, I wouldnt say anything. Trouble with Froch is, he hasn't got a humble bone in him.freddydoesdallas wrote:Erm, i know it's a big night for boxing and we're a bit excited about a major fight later and probably had a beer or two but he did actually beat Taylor in fantastic style.

Re: Froch on Sky
To be fair to Froch, he did take the piss out of himself for mentioning the Wembley fight a lot
Anyway, I've always liked Carl, he's a no-nonsense guy & gives his honest opinion, which makes him a breath of fresh air from the usual Sky yes-men. And as already mentioned above, how many world class boxers have no arrogance about them? I'd actually say Froch is one of the more humble, down-to-earth elite guys.

Re: Froch on Sky
The guy is a complete jerk.
I pray to see him fight Golovkin, but apparently it is a fight that no-one wants to see

Re: Froch on Sky
For the record I like Carl and he has ducked nobody; it is just a little hard to watch him sometimes.

Something about Froch that you just cannot warm to. Been a good fighter and evidently knowledgeable but insists on talking about himself and is still infatuated with George groves!

All boxers know that a fight can last the distance or last one punch. Either way you lose.
you can slate froch all you like for being a prick but to try and denigrate a clear stoppage win is a harsh. If Pacquiao had have sparked mayweather in the 12th last night would that have been an arrogant win or the threat you always face with Pacquiao?
Re: Froch on Sky
His IFL interview in Vegas was spot on, much more relaxed and seamed his more natural self. Maybe he just feels he needs to big himself up on Sky interviews to a bigger audience and the casuals???? Who knows... im sure in real life he's a nice fella.

When talking about fights as a pundit, before, during and after a fight he is very good, as good if not better than anyone on sky at the moment
