That is really unfair to Froch
Bute stinks the joint up in his last 3 fights and it's ok he's further ahead.
Froch Knocks spark out his last few and looked great, no credit.
He may have a personality that rubs some the wrong way
But he has done the job and looked impressive doing so.
This Russian was Bute last fight , he did zip!
Carl KO'S this Red and he's the next big thing in the sport!

I understand what you're saying but it's a slightly apples and oranges comparison. Bute's last few opponents have been arkward guys that it's hard to look good against, Froch's last three opponents weren't. Froch has just as much potential to stink the place out if put in with an arkward guy, remember his fight with Barney?

I agree on this to a certain extent, I will be very surprised if Froch KO's Tatevosyan but if he does I'll give him a lot of credit. I'm going for Froch by decision.

That's all I am saying
If he does it give him the respect as a legit force in the division
Nobodys stopped the Russian yet, he's a tough egg to crack for sure
but I think Froch can do it.

I think this will be a difficult one for Froch and I cant see him winning by KO - Probably a points win if he keeps busy during the fight - I can see Froch getting a bit worried if its a close decision but he would never admit to being so - Really cant see Froch looking good, he will have his work cut out to win the rounds IMO - Many of his fights have been quite predictable, but not this one, the Russian is a very tough cookie -I know Froch is super fit but he could run out of steam trying to land the finisher - Its the first Froch fight where I feel an upset is possible and its definately a step up for him - If Froch could get a decisive points victory it would do him a lot of good, even better a stoppage would definately elevate him towards a title shot - We shall see tonight but my money is still on a hard 12 rounds - I will say Froch was very sporting at the way in

Well he did it. Maybe a tad premature as Tate was avoiding some of those shots in the corner and he's known for his toughness. Had to laugh at Hennessy, "Froch will KO any SMW in the world" Yea...right
Froch picks his shots well, a right roundhouse uppercut that knocked him down wasn't it.

He's the fist to stop him , Bute did not come close
Carl is at the head of the class now
He's ready for anyone
What a statement!!!!

Well then put him in with somebody we have all heard of instead of a guy that ran a fringe contender in bute close, all this ko proves is that he can beat c level guys.
World class.....not quite im afraid.

Can`t say the the guy looked much....seemed to have a decent reputation, but looking at his record and seeing how small he looked compared to Froch it did make you think??
Good result...though can`t say its convinced me any more...maybe I`m biased cos the plank just bores me to tears

If he selects his opponents as carefully as this countryman of his, sure he can "rule" for years.
If he runs into Kessler, Mundine, Bute, Inkin though -- I doubt it. Would be nice to see Froch step up on level.

Froch is Welsh! Since when?
