Carl Froch: dedicated professional

[SHB]

Froch really needs to fight somebody worth a damn though. He looks to have the skills to match up with almost anyone but he really needs to step up a bit - he's a lot older than I realised.

In Boxing Monthly. When I say "the other day" I'm probably talking about six months ago.

Why bring it up now, then you little *****?

He wants the European title next, and says that would put him in contention to fight for the WBC in his next fight.

So we're looking at Kessler-Froch next summer.

It was just on my mind with the fight on Friday, you slimey Yank.

I hope Frochy knocks Kessler out. He went on Danish Radio earlier in the year and said he would.

Did you see that **** I copied and pasted from an email from a friend of Carl and put into a post in the Lounge a while back, Adam?

Good. That could be an excellent fight.

[SHB]

Well, he certainly seems to want to.

I can't remember that last time I've heard anyone speak about a Lonsdale belt like that. Takes me back a bit.

I thought Froch already had European honours?

And yeah, Lacy probably would catch and hurt Froch at certain points, but Froch says he's never even been hurt - let alone down. Not in the amateurs, in the gym or in the pro rings. And it's straight punches which Froch is prone to, which Lacy doesn't use.

I'd go with Froch, to hurt Lacy.
