Former super middleweight champion Carl Froch was not impressed with the most recent fight in the Super Six Boxing Classic. Froch was bored stiff after watching WBA champion Andre Ward dominate Allan Green for twelve rounds of one-sided action. Froch doesn't like Ward's style of fighting. Froch faces Arthur Abraham in the third stage of the Super Six. Ward will take on Andre Dirrell and Green will face Mikkel Kessler.
"First and foremost, as a spectator it was like watching paint dry. I recorded the fight to my TV box and can honestly say I will be recording over it." Froch told Livefight.com "Ward has skills but they don't pay the bills. People tune in to be entertained, but that jab and maul style, leaning in constantly with his bony head, holding and hitting was very tedious to watch."
After the loss, Green said he overtrained and felt very weak in the fight. Froch doesn't rule that out. He thought Green performed like a weight-drained fighter. Green weighed in at 166-pounds last Friday, a full two pounds under the super middleweight limit.
"He looked a bit drained to me. I was expecting more aggression and for Green to let the bombs fly a bit more. I like fighters to talk the talk and then walk the walk which Green seemed prepared to do in the build up to the fight. But basically he got old-manned out of the fight and will have to book his ideas up if he thinks he is going to beat Kessler, especially at home," Froch said.
