Carl Froch Admits to Training Injured For Taylor

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Undefeated WBC super middleweight titlist Carl “The Cobra” Froch has admitted exclusively to BoxingScene.com that he is entering the ring this weekend against Jermain “Bad Intentions” Taylor with minor injuries. [details]

I am rooting for Froch but this sounds like a ready made excuse to me.

[Clegg]

What a strange thing to come out with just before the biggest fight of your life.

I am rooting for Froch but this sounds like a ready made excuse to me.

That is what I thought but Froch should be able to beat Taylor if Froch is all that and a bag of chips like his fans claim he is because I don't know Froch from a freckle on my arse though.

Froch isn't the excuse making type. He fought Pascal with a cracked rib, which was far more serious than the minor knocks he has now. He said in the interview that he has minor "niggles" of the type he has now in every fight he has ever fought, so how is that setting up an excuse? The article is blowing this completely out of proportion, but Froch isn't.

Seems a bit fishy to me: if theyre only minor things, "knocks and ****s", then why did he optionally/intentionally/specifically raise the issue.

I'm sure Taylor will thrive on this, whether he hears it before or notices it in the ring, he's gonna love pumping that jab into Froch, knowing that it's picking him apart slowly.

The title is a bit misleading, but why would he even mention the injuries if they were not serious? There is no point in commenting on it, especially before a huge fight like this.

I think the article is a little over-exaggerating Froch's problem. He has had many 'minor' injury problems before other fights, but raising it before the biggest fight of your career doesn't seem right.

It could be a ploy, to make Taylor come for him, to pick him apart, setting him up into a battle, which Froch favours. Who knows?

[Davros?]

Looks like he is getting an excuse ready dont see the point of saying it my self.
