When I read articles in the build up to this fight from Froch talking about his "silky smooth" boxing skills I honestly thought he was taking the piss, trying to fool the Kessler camp into training for the wrong kind of fight. Appears I was mistaken.
Similar things from Ricky Hatton back in the day, trying to convert to boxing after being a fighter for the majority of his career. Bad mistake. If Froch had of fought the first 9 rounds how he has throughout his career instead of trying to box then he would have had a much better chance. Can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Think Hatton made this mistake, and Froch made the same one tonight. Both became deluded and believed they possessed some kind of quality boxing skills that were never there. A shame really.
