Comments Thread For: Carl Froch Places a Target on Andre Ward, Lucian Bute

[Finn73]

Whoever says Kessler by KO is an idiot. Froch is tough as hell. No1's KOing him, I doubt he'd get KO'd at lt.-heavy, maybe a cruiser could put him on his back for the count-out....Kessler-Froch is gonna be a helluva fight, Kessler's style is good for Carl, Carl's style is good for Mikkell....expect a long, hard fight.

We will see...

Not his 2nd fight, but his 3rd will actually be his hardest. Personally I cannot imagine how he can take Arbaham's punches with his style without getting KTFO.

By the same token, it's hard to imagine Arthur taking Carl's heavy shots.... that fight will be fought in a phone booth, and I can't wait!

WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch wants nothing more than to win the Super Six tournament. The second thing on his mind is to target two other titles at the weight being held by WBA champion Andre Ward and IBF champion Lucian Bute. Froch is training for his title defense against Mikkel Kessler on April 24. He expected to fight Kessler in a unification bout for the WBA title. That plan was crushed when Kessler lost the title to Ward in the opening stage of the Super Six.

Froch isnt on Ward's level.Ward will ko him,the guy got no defence

[catalinul]

Imo both Ward and Bute school him.

I don't think he''ll ge tpast Kessler either.

froch is the kind of guy that once he gets ko'd(which will be soon) he will lose all his superpowers(snailman?) and confidence. cherish these hilarious interviews while they last.

A lot of people are seriously underestimating Froch due to his poor showing against Dirrel, however who can possably look impressive against a guy who simply chooses to run and not engage?

Froch is a warrior with an iron chin, he isnt fast or slick like some fighters but has an iron chin and there is no way in hell he will get KO'd by Kessler as some idiots think. He also has immense stamina and good power.

Nobody will have an easy fight against this guy and he is willing to fight anybody which is refreshing in an age when most boxers are chicken****s.

Froch and Bute are on a similar level. Ward would dominate either one.

Dirrell knows how to box for sure but he didn't deserve the decision over Froch. During the fight Dirrell did something I haven't seen many fighters do (De La Hoya did it vs Trinidad and it cost him too) he openly turned his back to Froch and ran several times. Usually fighters do this when they have no other option but the bad thing is I feel Dirrell could have possibly stopped Froch (Froch was exhausted from trying to cut off the ring and keep up with him). Andre Ward is a good boxer also but after he outboxed Kessler (and tired him out) he sat down on his punches and stopped him. This is how you truly outclass and demoralize your opponent, first outbox him and then stop him. A boxer who has the all-around talent to execute this is a complete boxer and in this tournament Ward is the only one who's shown the ability to do this and as such he's now the favorite to win.

It will be interesting to see what Kessler can do vs Froch. I think he's the better fighter but we'll see if his confidence is 100% back after the loss to Ward. If Kessler can't revert back to his pre-Ward form then Froch will probably win. I feel Kessler will win a tough, competitive fight and I don't see Froch winning anymore fights in this tournament.

Froch would beat Bute imo but Ward would beat Froch convincingly. He has a very good chin and has shown even if he does get hit by a big shot (Taylor) then he can recover very quickly, i don't see anyone KO'ing Froch, maybe Abraham.
