I didn't watch this as think Froch as a person is a bellend, unlike the twitter boxing cliques who watched it, recorded it and quoted his words, Froch as a boxer has fought everyone that he needed to fight and I respect him for that, his legacy as a fighter is unquestionable however he will never be popular as a person outside of Notts because he just is not a likeable person.

Nothing. Literally not a word.

in his own book Froch said that he never turned up to that fight and he has absolutely no other person to blame but himself. I think on account of him losing and saying he didn't feel fired-up before the fight either, it was unlikely to figure in his documentary, as generally I think you're meant to come over as a 'hero' in these things.
He is a bit cocky but I think it's cos he's a bit of a Nottingham hill-billy tbh - but it's quite a mild case and on balance Froch, Mum and Rachel all came across well to me. His Dad was mentioned but did not figure in the Doc.

Strange to skip over the biggest fight of his career.

Just watched it, thought it was quite good. Froch can't do right for doing wrong with some people on here. Getting criticised for saying he's got a granite chin in boxing circles. Unbelievable. Thought he came across ok.

Can't knock the man's achievements in the ring but there were a lot of cringeworthy laugh out loud moments watching that. Big fan of his boxing but not a fan of the man on camera..... Hopefully he might be different in real life.
