most people think matt has no chance against froch, but i think matt could actually get a result. they have a new coach working with him mainly on his strength and conditioning, jamie wadman who is a sports scientist is meant to be a good young up and coming coach so matt may have a chance.
any predictions?

Barney needs to work on his aggression not conditioning, that just means he can run away more. i've give him the John Ruiz status after the Oakey fight, i'll only watch him if he's fighting an opponent capable of KOing his ass.

I dont really believe the Froch hype either, he's no way near the top fighters at supermiddles and i wish he would realise that, but i still think Froch will win by 9th round TKO.

Froch is so arrogant I'd love to see him get a kicking... and it wouldn't be that hard with such stylistic flaws. Did you see him on ITV, saying he would KO Calzaghe?

yes, he thinks alot of himself. but he will come unstuck, if not against matt, then calzage (spelt very wrong) will knock him out

I think Calzaghe could beat Froch in the 1st round, there's nothing that Froch does that would make me think he'd cause Calzaghe any problems.

Froch seems (I'm sure he's not, lawyer fans) like the sort of guy who'd hassle you in a pub. I can visualise him getting blasted on lager top and getting right in your face going "Oh yeah? F***in' want some?"

ha ha, barney on the other hand never says a word. he just goes about his business

I'm not sold with either of the BBC fighters... Froch or Haye. They got a lot more proving to do before I hear all the "I'll knock out Calzaghe!"

And Haye got seriously troubled by an african journyman before he got Beaten up by Carl Thompson, (who in my mind is shot!). I thought David Haye was more bothered about his "Craig David ban-danna" than he was about the fight in the build up.

I thought, "He may have done a lot to look athletic with the weights etc, but his stamina was shot to pieces! "He did well in the 1st round, but that's all he had in him!?!"

I thought... "shame on his trainers for not getting him into shape!"

Woooow.... I'm pissed, but making some sense right?

I understand, i hate all this "girly" **** fighters like Haye bring to the sport, they wanna be celebs rather than boxers. It makes it worst that he fancies himself, it makes it even worst that he's an ugly **** who fancies himself!! Froch the same, he need to think about his boxing rather than sucking Calzaghe's ****, i hope it doesnt turn into another Witter - Hatton situation.

Maybe that's a problem though, cos I can't even remember him. What's he do again?
