      I think that's what is going to happen.

      I think Froch will gut it out and take about 3/4 rounds, by marching forward and roughing him up when the fight it slipping away.

      I think Dirrell laid the blue print but he didn't do it in style. He should have been docked points and ultimately thrown out.

        If Ward wins 9 or 8 of the 12 rounds clearly he will claim he was robbed.

        The man honestly believes he deserved the descion against Kessler even though Rob Mcraken told him that he hasn't done enough after the fight.

        He actually tries to claim he dominated Dirrell after getting an SD in his hometown of Nottingham.

        He looked baffled that Jim Grey said Johnson landed the right hand consistently.

        This is the same guy who said he was bigger in the UK than David Beckham before he had even won a World Title.

        The guy is such a ****ing moron.

          saying things and signing the press release are two entirely different things.

            All of those things other than the David Beckham things he has said publically.

              lol,

              In that case I stand corrected.

              But a lot of things that have been attributed to Froch did not come from the horses mouth so to speak. A lot of the Calzaghe stuff. He's admitted as much.

                I don't mind if a fighter refuses to acknowledge that he lost or his flaws especially directly after a close fight....


                And Jim Grey always needs someone to check him, he's annoying. He could have been a little more respectful and just said he hit you a few times with the right, or even more than a few times.

                It's not like GJ was landing it every round.

                Why do people hold fighters to what they say seconds after they win a prizefight? Then they get challenged by a weasely little announcer and are supposed to be humble and be expected to know exactly how the fight went down...

                sometimes when you get hit and it barely affects you, you shake it off like you didn't get hit and it doesn't stay with you as part of your memory of how the fight went down.

                  Neither do I.

                  I do, however, when from the very end of the fight all the way to two whole years later in every single apperance he makes on, Fight Camp 360, Prime Time, and now Ringside he is adament he 'dominated' and 'clearly' won the fight.

                  Jim Grey's an idiot but he asked him a legit question; "Did you expect to get hit with the right hand consistently" And Carl Froch instead of addressing it looks baffled and acts like it didn't happen and says "I think 117 - 113 was a more realistic result" which it actually wasn't, at all.

                  The difference is Carl Froch acts like he does in his post fight interviews ALL THE TIME.

                  Shame Carl can have as much time to refelct as he has with Kessler and Dirrell and he still has and still has the same opinion.

                    Yeah, I thought that.

                    I mean Johnson was never going to out-jab Froch and his aim was always to get inside a let the bombs fly. He's too good of a fighter not a to land a few. He done it on a Dawson and he was always going to be able to get Froch, too.

                    He's a bit of an anus that Jim Grey. 'Repeatedly.'

                    In one word he disrespected two world-class fighters.

                    He should have seen how long he could have avoided a Glen Johnson right-hand. He needs to show a little more reverence.

                      Jim Grey said repeatedly, not consistently and he asked it with that smug little attitude that he always has.

                      I've heard Froch come across in a classy way many times in interviews. I think Dirrell and Kessler beat him as well, but i don't mind that he doesn't. He thinks he's the best in the world, so freakin what? He's a fighter, not a track athlete or swimmer in timed competitions.

                      ****y fighters never rub me the wrong way as long as they get in the ring with the best and don't have a million excuses or reasons why they won't fight the best comp, but STILL proclaim their greatness (ie Floyd Mayweather JR).....
