Yes, he should get married like the rest of us. Happiness is not the only thing in life.

Fit bird but very annoying, as soon as she opens her mouth she loses her sex appeal, no class. You'd only want to sleep her once, so you have, after that she'd be a head wreck to be around with that whiny voice.

Seems accusations are getting thrown around in defeat. Whilst, it does seem very strange that Froch didn't take his gloves off when he always does, I don't think there is much in this story.

Although - I am shocked, if true, at the still lack of incompetence for people to leave gloves unattended and not have cornermen watch opposing fighters have their hands wrapped.

If what Bute's trainer says is true - surely something must be put in place that as soon as the fight ends - both fighters must be escorted to the changing room (after everything's complete) by an independent official and have their gloves taken off in view of whatever sanctioning official's responsible for the fight - in this case the IBF or whomever.

It raises su****ions over Carl but I don't believe there was foul play, what I was more shocked at was his new found level of work rate - he's never been a high work rate fighter - but he was like Pacquiao in this fight, that, to me is far more eyebrow raising.

Yeah because previously feather fisted Froch stopped previously iron chinned Bute.

Also what are you talking about Froch has always had a solid work rate he is known for his stamina the fight didn't even last 5 full rounds and when your opponent is visibly hurt of course your punch output will increase 10 fold, did you not watch Taylor vs Froch round 12 for example?

Silly post from start to finish.

No he isn't - he stopped taylor renowned for gassing but Kessler outworked him in his first fight.

He hurt him in round 2 and it was relentless punching for three and a bit rounds from Froch - his usual stamina - he'd need more of a break in between, but just kept going.

The lads watching with me were worried he'd punched himself out after round 3 he put so much in.

Proves nothing, just not in keeping with what he's usually like.

I'm only telling you what I felt, that I never seen Froch with that kind of constant energy, doesn't mean anything, but it raised eyebrows with a few of the lads watching.

Same as gloves - not in keeping with what he normally does, keeping them on, but I honestly don't think he used loaded gloves, but it'll raise eyebrows amongst some because he didn't do what he always does.

Going back to the point i was making - this fight aside - there has to be more stringent rules in place for fighters having their gloves taken off straight after the fight in the ring with an official watching, would probably be the most effective for eradicating loaded gloves etc.

The fight was stopped in the 5th round Froch trains to go 12 hard rounds and YES Froch is known for having good stamina Froch didn't even throw much in the 4th round untill he visably hurt Bute in the last 30 second of the round, nothing su****ious whatsoever.

Also I can't agree with your notion of some official accompanying a fighter after the fight to check his gloves by then the fight is over the damage has already been done that is backwards.

He doesn't have good stamina - especially not constant throwing energy. He was getting outworked in the early rounds and matched in the middle ones by a 44 year old Glen Johnson until his old legs caught up with him. We'll agree to disagree or we can just argue all day...

I stated that a second should be there to watch the wrapping of the glove - like Naz Richardson when he caught Marg, however, having somebody there after can't do any harm either.

e.g. if a second misses wet plaster that hasn't dried when putting the wraps on - you'll catch it when the gloves are taken off.

An extra deterrent - you may risk it putting it on when its wet chancing that the second doesn't know what to look for, but if you knew it would be checked when the glove came off, you definitely wouldn't.

I'd seen a couple fotos of them, thought they were married, she is HOT, but hey, wish them happiness & she stands by him & supports him...

You are simply wrong Froch, averaged 69 punches per round in all of his super 6 bouts excluding the Ward fight where his average punch output dropped to around the mid 50s again that is a solid work rate. You really have no grounds to say Froch doesn't posses good stamina he has never looked gassed and has always thrown big shots up until the final bell.

You saying Glen Johnson outworked Froch is also nonsense Froch averaged 77.2 punches per round, yet restricted Johnson to 52 punches per round (his second lowest output in his 8 copubox tracked fights. Oh and Johnson was 42 not 44 I will not agree to disagree because what you are typing is clearly wrong and needs correcting.

You are acting like Froch was throwing way above his average punch output for a 12 round fight he wasn't.

And again about the hand wrap stuff if a fighter posts a competent and experienced member of his team in his opponents locker room to observe the hand wrapping as they are entitled to and always should that is enough to stop loaded wraps. Also you need to learn how to quote.

What are you on about, Carl has always been high workrate, high stamina. The only difference is this fight he did it from round 1, usually he takes a while to get going.

He threw 251 punches through 5 rounds vs. Bute right?

He threw 266 punches through 5 rounds vs. Ward.

http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/view.php?pg=ward-froch-compubox

I couldn't find the exact punch stats for Froch v Kessler but compubox does say he threw an average of 80.1 punches vs Kessler and Kessler threw 56.8. That means Froch threw 961 punches over the fight. Which means through 5 rounds he threw (using averages) 400 punches.

http://compuboxonline.com/news.php?news=CompuBox-Analysis%3A-Ward-vs.-Froch&news_id=183

So your theory is wrong. Infact Froch had a lower workrate through 5 rounds against Bute than in both the Kessler and Ward fights.

[black.ink]

This SAJ10 guy has no clue. Chin aside, Froch's stamina is his best asset.

Froch's ouput in the 5 rounds against Bute was mostly during the final minute of each round. He wasn't non-stop punching his way through the whole 3 minutes as it seems suggested.

And it was obvious as to why his workrate picked up from round 4 onwards, seeing Bute off his feet at the end of round 3 and 4, he knew he had him out of there by keeping on him. Your logic is flawed my friend.
