It appears we were all wrong - what he was trying to say is that Johnson was weightdrained and too old anyway, and the clips of the fight he's seen on youtube show that Froch was getting beat up by an old weightdrained guy:

'I must confess I still haven’t seen last Saturday’s Super Six semifinal fight between WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (28-1, 20 KO’s) and Glen Johnson (51-15-2, 35 KO’s), but I have seen some tasty clips of it and seen enough to give my two cents on the bout.'
They shouldn't be printing his opinion on a fight he hasn't seen.
Amusing of you to think they have editorial standards.

That's one of his best yet
So he gives Ward full credit for beating Abraham but takes credit away from Froch because Dirrell did it first
I'd say Froch did the best job of the three on Abraham, Dirrell and Ward were pretty close, I'd be tempted to say Ward because Dirrell was being worn down, was decked and may have been stopped in the last couple of rounds.
Though at least he didn't say ''brutally and embarrassingly KO'd'' like he sometimes does.

Try the 'True fans of boxing' page on Facebook for a real laugh. Unbelievable that is. Guys on there think they are Eddie Futch reincarnated and if you don't agree with their rantings they ball you out, call you a homo and when you give them a half-decent retort they throw their toys out of the pram then block you!!! I baited one on there the other week and he went ape shit, got all LA ghetto on me when I gave it back (oh then he blocked me). Very funny!

The great Scott Gilfoid correctly predicts ( Again !! - he has never actually been wrong with 100% record.
( this has been proved by top scientists ) ).....a massacre for Bute.

Then, while everyone was incorrectly assuming that Carl won, the Gilf proves how he actually lost, and he was right again -

'I don’t know how they conduct fights in the UK, but around the rest of the world a fighter is disqualified when one of his team members steps foot in the ring while the fight is still underway.'
We've discussed this here haven't we and come up with several fights around the World that prove this not to be the case. Mayweather v Judah (Roger Mayweather jumping in to try and smack Judah after Judah's blatant fouling.)

For the uninitiated - and I sincerely hope that's most of you - he did a piece on how Froch looked scared in the preamble to the Abraham fight and was going to get battered. Then, despite being completely wrong, still managed to call Froch a load of rubbish in his write up.
Here's his latest:
http://www.boxingnews24.com/2010/11/kha ... a-on-1211/?
The best bit is in the third paragraph when he really starts to believe the sh1t he's shovelling 'This could be a lot easier knockout win for Maidana than I originally predicted' (two paragraphs before, presumably).
The man is a complete and utter DICK who knows very little about boxing

Been away for a couple of days and haven't read the other threads about Hearn jumping in. Regardless, Hearn wasn't part of his corner and Froch wouldn't have been DQ'd for that...AFAIK.

This is a little bit different to the rest of his stuff, actually. It's still a load of shite but usually it's based on his twisted opinions whereas this is based on a simple, factual inaccuracy.

The most worrying part of the article for me is where is seems to imply that it is fine to use steroids for training, so long as they are out of your system by fight night. By all means, slate British fighters for the fun of it, but don't belittle steroid use
Obviously the rest is harmless, predictable, wind up merchant stuff
