Comments Thread For: Froch Backs Referee: A Fantastic Job, Khan Was Pushing!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK — Carl Froch isn’t the least bit concerned about an American referee officiating his fight against Andre Ward.

Not even after an American referee deducted two points from another Brit boxing an American on U.S. soil the previous Saturday night, deductions that cost England’s Amir Khan his IBF and WBA 140-pound titles. New Jersey referee Steve Smoger, who has officiated 168 world title fights in his 27-year professional career, has been assigned to officiate the Ward-Froch fight Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.

Here we go again, Mr Carl Froch giving sly digs to Amir Khan after he lost. Carl Froch has always been jealous of Khan's success and publicity in the UK. Khan was getting more fame and money in the UK when he was 18, compared to the whole of Froch career. Froch is a bitter bastard. Ward all the way.

Exactly right. They've had alot of falling out in the past & he's trying to do it in a sly way by saying something good about him by saying he's a 'great fighter'. Whoever u r, 2 point deduction in a world title fight 4 pushing is very harsh. Even the USA pundits on hbo called it 'home cooking'.

Yet UK sport journalists and British SKY, who broadcasted the event, are far more neutral and they're calling the point deductions fair. Khan brought it upon himself and even without the deductions it was a close fight.

Carl most definitely did not speak his mind when David Haye lost to Wladimir and he hardly said anything about the toe-gate incident. But he has already shown his displeasure for Khan in the past and there is no doubt about their still being some ill feelings between the two. Lets not forget than Froch is under Eddie Hearn who is also not a fan of Amir Khan.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions but the irony about Froch's comments are that the same referee he is praising stated that he thought Khan was hard done by with the points deduction for the pushing.

FROCH ...THERE'S ROOM FOR More THAN 1 STAR IN BRITAIN

Froch is a solid world class fighter who doesn't need to be jealous of khan. He needs to worry about what a Boxing lesson Ward is going to put on him. After the Ward fight Khan will rise back to be the most lived In Britain.

By British media do you mean Jim Watt? This is the same old goat who is more worried about foreign judges than the actual fight itself. He is an old fart who should be tranquilized and put to rest. He is the most pessimistic old goat who ever held a mic and he is just annoying.
He writes of virtually every British fighter going up against a foreigner. He was a boring fighter and an ever worse commentator.

Carl froch is a known Khan hater, he used to talk smack about Khan when he was a kid trying to make a living. **** Carl Froch. I wish Joe calzaghe would come out of retirement and school this turd. Then again at least we have ward to shut this twat up.
