Comments Thread For: Froch: Forget Nottingham, I'll Face Johnson in Atlantic City

[SluggerFan]

are you for real?

The Froch vs. Abraham fight was boring. Froch did virtually nothing but jab and move and Abraham did less.

Is it fair that Andre Ward gets to have ALL his Super Six fights in his home country and state, with crooked California Boxing Commission referees like Jack Reiss who let him deliberately headbutt and otherwise foul as much as he wants...

while Carl Froch has to have 3 of his 4 Super Six fights in foreign countries (plus the final if he beats Johnson)...

even though it makes more sense economically for Froch to have another fight in Nottingham, where he'll fill a stadium with fans?

Froch boxed his ass off. I certainly wouldn't call a complete boxing lesson "running like a *****".

I don't disagree that it could be seen as boring though... but that was because Abraham was exposed as a C level fighter who couldn't deal with one of the most basic styles in boxing. He shouldn't have been in that ring.

No, it's not fair however all the fighters knew in whether U.S or abroad their fights would be in before signing the contracts. Froch got his one home fight and knew the semi and final would be in the U.S. which he stated. So, if Andre Ward advances, he will have a home country advantage by default. If Abraham advances, then it will be totally neutral. If they didn't like the terms though, they shouldn't of signed the contract...

That's what's up. Thanks to Froch for keeping it real and showing some class even if he didn't get his was. Froch johnson is a hell of a fight, I'm excited.

Carl can fight at home the rest of his life if he beats Ward.

Froch is how a true champion should act like. He is focused on building his legacy and therefore doesn't mind fighting away from home so many times. He is like the opposite of Joe Calzaghe.

Ahhh crap.

I just hope they hurry up and get things signed and sealed. Neither of them have fought since November so they should've finalised everything by now. After some of the problems in the past with Dirrell and Kessler, you just have to hope there aren't anymore issues from this point forward.

Exactly, he offered to pay Showtime money to change the venue, not Johnson and considering he is backing off would suggest Showtime wasn't too keen on the idea.

As far as who I want to win, I favor Johnson however I am just hoping for a great fight. We all know Johnson is going to bring it, that's for sure...

Thats how I see it, a great fight b/t two warriors. To an impartial eye Carl Froch's has an outstanding resume, not just from his Wins his competition. Glen Johnson will definately test Froch b/c Johnson will follow him to hell and back while get himself in a shot or 2.

Froch was willing to pay SHOWTIME $250K to stage the fight in Nottingham, not Johnson. And calling Johnson 'roadkill' is ridiculous. He is the Road Warrior and anyone who disrespects that is not a true boxing fan. Give the man his just do, he brings it every time, not like Froch who ran around like a b*tch against Arthur Abraham...

I understand you was responding to some foolish statement that was made about Johnson(who imo is a warrior)but Froch did not run at all against AA..He effectively boxed his ears off(in much better fashion then Dirrell I might add)..If ya wanna see running look to the Dirrell Froch fight,Dirrell ran and did everything in his power not to exchange..Froch exchange with AA and got the better of him most of the fight..
