Comments Thread For: Froch: I'll Pay Showtime 250k, Johnson Bout in Nottingham!

[giacomino]

I hope this fight ends decisively, because if Johnson loses another close decision, the word "robbery" will be the most overused word on this web site.

I have seen probably 10-12 Johnson fights, and he has certainly been unlucky in the scoring of close fights. Sometimes I've scored for Johnson when he didn't get the decision. But I can't think of one where I would call it a "robbery."

A robbery is Campillo vs Shumenov, where one fighter clearly dominates and then loses the decision. I have not seen all of Johnson's fights, but can anyone enlighten me as to a fight I can watch in which Johnson clearly dominated an opponent, like Campillo did Shumenov, and lost the decision?

this is smart business by froch. give up 250k to basically guarantee he makes the finals and makes another large payday.

After its all over, Froch should move to HBO and tell these SHo **** to phuck off. This is no way to treat a champion.

Glen would literally have no chance whatsoever of winning in Nottingham. Just keep it at this neutral site, Glen isn't even freaking American, he's Jamaican so the site is perfect.

Same goes for ward but because he's american you guys let him off the hook, ur all just a bunch of biased ****s.

Froch does not want it in his hometown for an advantage,it's for his fans which is understandable...

Froch takes it even if its on the moon.

Yea Froch is a champion, fought for a belt against Abraham whose last fight was also a loss. explain this close fights are not robberies? that's when you see a robbery, when its clear the other fighter won enough rounds even.if its only 7-5. For instance the Dirrell - Froch, clear robbery but it was a split D, Kessler- Froch, robbery, now that was Frochs fault for not dominating Kessler like he should had and allowing a "close" fight to get robbed of. Johnson is Jamaican and has been robbed enough in America let alone going into Frochs backyard.

damn just when i think im about to become a froch fan and then he does something like this and acts like a total prick. since when does glen "THE ROAD WARRIOR" johnson ever have some sort of advantage going into a fight? he's been robbed enough times on his adoptive soil (he's jamaican). of the fans are more vocal when they're cheering for their fighter. keep it on neutral territory. all this is really a moot point because it's in the contract! honor the contract! i agree that ward has had it way too easy in this tournament. all i can say is ward better not ever go to vegas and get joe cortez as a ref, he won't always have a hometown ref to put up with his dirty tactics.

Froch is willing to put up his own cash to get his fans to not splash out and travel to see him,AGAIN,froch has had 1 fight at home,howcome ward has had all his fights at home?WTF is up with that!.

Froch will dominate johnson and shock people,their wont be no robbery.

Johnson has himself to blame by letting fights be close and not get decisions,he should fight better to make fights lobsided in his favour,not close on the cards always.

Froch is a good man, paying out to try to get this fight in Nottingham and reward his loyal fans.


Long may you run, Carl!
