Carl Froch Admits to Training Injured For Taylor

[Dubious-Dutch]

Regardless of who wins this fight, I have to give Froch respect for coming over to the States for his first defense.

He should take a leaf out of Kessler's book. Apparently Kessler fought Calzaghe with a damaged hand and didn't even bring it up post-fight.

Definitely deserves props for this. He's gonna take an L for his troubles.

[KingTito]

Well, I hope he doesn't use this as an excuse.

Jermaine by late tko or decision!!! Jermaine is no jean pascal and has a btter resume then both of those guys (froch & pascal).

He isnt fighting jermains resume.

I've got total respect for Froch.

He took this fight in America because Taylor turned down the chance to box him in Britian.

He definitely isn't making excuses either. Why are people so sensationalist about everything on here? Unbelieveable.

Froch is hungry to impress and hungry to fight the best. Taylor is going to be a big test for him but I think he will pass it and win the fight.

No, he brought it up later in later interviews though.

[Kris Silver]

He's such an amatuer.

And a nob. Christ I hope he loses.

[Chr0nic]

do all the brits have an injury before everyfight?

I earlier picked Taylor to win but I'm not taking anything away from Froch. I'm happy that two guys of this caliber are willing to fight each other, Froch could very well have padded his record if he had wanted to. All this talk that Froch is scared and making excuses is just pure rubbish. A fighter with Froch's record absolutely feels he is going to win every fight he's in as boxing is a very mental game. It will be Jermain's job to change that when they fight this week-end and I believe he will. I wouldn't concider this a huge upset if Taylor loses and the bright side of this is the fans win no matter what!
