Its strange in a way he was involved in a great fight against Pascal and another good fight against Taylor, but he has one ugly style he seems to have no rhythm to his work at all his punches and the way he moves just looks so awkward, this isn't meant as a hate thread as i have really enjoyed his last 2 fights and he is one tough fighter with a great chin and power just an observation more than anything else.

Truly awful!! Never watch him again.. Nothing worse than a loser that bores the piss out of you....

its ugly and awkward, but i guess it works
No he isn't pleasing on the eye.
I agree, his last fight was against a guy who took the fight on 12 days notice or something. In this fight, Taylor had him dominated the entire fight up until like rd 10 or so. He started to slack off and let Froch gain ground I don't know what his deal is. He gives up for some reason when he had the fight in the bag.
That 12th rd was disgusting and reminded me of the first Pavlik fight. On the other hand, good win for Froch, he looks ugly though and Taylor should have owned him the entire fight.....dunno what happened there.
Davros, you should be watching ballet if you enjoy that!
Not really to be honest i love watching fighters slip punches throw counters have good footwork have good head movement etc etc, i enjoying watching a skilled fighter perform, if i just wanted to see 2 tough men hit each other i would just go to my local bar there are always fights in there, this wasn't a hate thread against Froch he is very effective in his own way and in his own way has some skills.
the guy looks like he's staring at the floor while he's fighting lol
Probably because he's keeping his chin down.
If you're gonna come in against a guy with both fast hands, good defence AND power with basically no guard, I suppose the least Carl thinks he should do is hide his chin somewhat lol
Froch looks like he should be a technician but he fights like a brawler/fighter. He looks very strong when he hunches his back
and he keeps his left so low and doesnt give a F about getting hit with the straight right
Froch's style does suck, he has no finesse what so ever. However the guy is consistent and that can take you a little bit further in Boxing especially if you have power and a good chin to compliment it.
You can be a robot, but if you can hit,take a shot and keep coming you will be a force. Adamek is a bit like Froch in that way, although Thomas is probably a better Boxer as stupid as it sounds :rofl:

ugly as it may be, it sure as hell has one thing that is more important than anything else!?!??!??!?!?! it's a crowd pleasing style and exciting. you might not like the hands down, and the moving in without a jab, and the stand up chin out european style, but taking the punches that he does and delivering the punches he does during the exchanges, it's really crowd pleasing and next to winning that is the most important thing......... like his style or not, it's crowd pleasing.....
yeah i really enjoyed his last 2 fights.

Davros, do you watch boxers because of how pretty their style is, or because of how well they fight?
I don't mind Froch before you say anything, I normally like fighters that have flowing styles that throw good combinations Floyd Patterson is my favorite fighter of all time.
Some things about Froch most of you Don't know..
Around 2005 he was still living with his Mother.. He doesn't drink Booze.. he eats well.. and tries to Model his life.. and more importantly his fighting style after some Monks( I am not sure from where) .. He is extremely unorthodox ..If he was Black.. he would be called "Stylistic".. If you focus on him for an entire fight.. you will realise he is aware and in control .. (even when it seems like he is being beaten).. The WHOLE time.. or he thinks he is..
The man sets traps.. and his opponents bite every time..
Froch is proof that you don't have to be the best fighter to win the fight, if you impose you will enough and break your opponent down you can take the victory.
Yeah, I agree.
Ricky Hatton is another guy, he probably has more talent than Froch but his will is his best asset. Ricky would train for a fight with King Kong and believe 100% that the beast had no chance.
Froch is just soooo awkward.
