    Have you not seen Vazquez-Marquez 3 yet?

    It was definitely the best fight of the higher divisions this year though.

      I agree, i was a little bit worried that Carl was throwing everything that he had and Pascal did not go down, but did look hurt at times. I think its just the fact Pascal stepped up in this fight as it was for a title. But Carl's chin, granite, Pascal was hitting him with clean, powerfully punches with a good stance and Froch did not blink! Watch the fight and say they had no power! I'm pleased for him, but next few fights will determined how good he actually is in real world class boxing

        I'm upset this fight wasn't aired in the states. With all of the fights going on this weekend, this is the one I wanted to see the most. I'm a bit suprised it turned into a war the whole fight. I thought there would be some rounds that would be war-like but for the most part I thought it would be a tactical battle.

        Froch finally gets a shot against Taylor. Now we just have to listen to Froch talk all this **** leading up to the fight.
        Good things lay ahead for Pascal.
        I'd love to see a rematch in Montreal.

        Does anyone know if this fight will be aired in the states?

          Froch

          Kessler is the best of the division.I saw the Pascal-Froch fight and no way Froch can get near Kessler and even Bute. He would not make the distance against these 2

            This was a step up in opposition for Froch and I'd like to see him to continue in that way but the likes of Taylor or Kessler would be going too far right now.

            Bika, Andrade or Miranda would be good exciting fights. Another one might be Allan Green. What are his plans right now?

              I would pick Froch to beat Taylor as of now, I think he beats Bute,andrade but loses to kessler.

                Are you serious? Froch was so open last night, Taylor would have a field day against Froch.

                  Froch gets 8 out of 10 for courage, chin and workrate, in my book but only 2 out of 10 for class. He was often wild, and his defence was non-existent. His frequent calling out of Calzaghe is laughable - he wouldn't be able to win a single round against Calzaghe. Kessler would also beat him easily, in my opinion. But I think it would be a pick-em fight against Taylor, who I believe is over-rated.


                  If you have seen Froch fight before you would realise that he doesnt have a defence, He like to leave his left hand low to draw in his opponent for the uppercut.

                  He has an almight chin because he gets tagged in all his fights, He doesnt get busy enough because he looks for one big shot to KO his opponent but thats understandable because he does have great power.

                    Yes am serious, Am even picking froch by KO...Frich is open all night long but Taylor would have a difficult time KO'in froch and with Taylor's tendency to get tired/take rounds off i see Frco winning...........but thats my opinion.

                      Froch is a poor fighter, he has a big punch and a terrible defence and average hand speed, he was getting beaten by Pascal untill Pascal started to tire
