Comments Thread For: Froch Furious With Groves, Cleverly Over Kessler Help

Reliable you say?

Damn that doesn't sound good coming from a stand-up poster like you.

Very reliable.

But have no fear, I hear Kessler is pounding the life out of Groves and Cleverly.

There's no shame at all in getting the business from D-MAC. He's notorious for snatching souls without breaking a sweat.

Who's your unbiased Pick anyway?

Normally I'd say that Kessler is just the better boxer and should have no trouble with Froch. That was the general consensus before the s6. But Froch has shown that it's not a proper way to gauge his abilities. He more often than not seems destined to lose only to come up big.

I'm a big Froch fan, but I can't fault those guys for getting work in against another top fighter and getting paid. Seems odd that they are supposed to back him simply because they are British.

I'm picking Froch this time, rooting for him too.

The exact opposite 3 years ago but Carl Froch's rollercoaster career of overachieving success (In everyone's mind but his own) has been too gripping to not become a fan.

I think if it's remotely close then Froch will get the nod. I think Kessler's once chance of winning is getting the stoppage and I just don't see Froch getting stopped. I don't see anyone getting stoped.

I expect a close fight. In a neutral venue I would consider it 50/50, maybe 60/40 Kessler but like I said I simply can't see Froch losing a decision in the UK.

I'm going to the fight. Can't wait.

He was trying to be humble after being robbed.

He later went on to reveal the truth, that he has sufficient evidence that the referee was paid off and wasn't allowed to execute his gameplan.

He was robbed that night, not for the first time and I doubt the last considering it seems judges don't like his defensive mastery.

Brilliant, I was taking you seriously for 5 mins as well.

Hats off to you sir, classic summing!

CARL FROCH has branded *fellow Brits Nathan Cleverly and George Groves traitors for helping Mikkel Kessler prepare for next Saturday’s fight.

The Cobra was stung by news that Groves and Cleverly have been sparring with Dane Kessler, ahead of the world super-middleweight title unification clash at London’s O2 Arena.

Froch reckons WBO light-heavyweight champion Cleverly and Commonwealth super-middleweight title-holder Groves lack loyalty and class by getting Kessler ready for the biggest fight in the UK this year. [Click Here To Read More]

real talk!!...WAR FROCH!!

[Jack Napier]

who cares who the sparring partners are?
Froch's countrymen don't owe him a damn thing
and it won't matter, Froch will beat Kessler again anyway
Kessler got a hometown call the last time, Froch won it close
this time Froch will beat his ass decisively

[SAJ10]

See the thing is, it doesn't matter who or what is to blame for Cleverly's choice of opponents. The fact is, his resume is pretty darn terrible, hence he's not regarded as a true Champ, only a titlist. The best opponent in my opinion is Bellew, and that fight was either way - not a clear win. As Froch said before, Cleverly is a WBO Champion not a World Champion. Until proven otherwise of course.

--------------------------

I'm not dis*****g what you say, but this hardly applies to Cleverly alone.

Really, every strap holder of the 4 belts except the Ring is a titliist and not a World Champ, that includes Froch. In modern day boxing Froch wouldn't have been World Champ as he has never been no:1 or beaten the main man in the division - he's been the best of the rest, never the best of the best in his division.

I agree Clev's oppo needs to improve but Cleverly is offering a fight to Froch/Kessler and is on record as offering Froch for a good while now. Cleverly seems to want the big fights and step up.

All he's doing is asking Froch for a fight and has sparred Kessler.

Why does Froch run Cleverly's opponents on the back of this, when he himself doesn't seem to want to fight him. All he has to say is Cleverly can spar who he likes it does't bother me and a fight with Cleverly is sometime away whilst I have bigger fish to fry and he proves himself against higher level oppo.

Screw Froch, when he called out Calzaghe and belittled him it was ok, he is the biggest hypocrite, and they wouldn't have made moves 4 him unless they thought he was beatable and a meal ticket, lol, Ward said he is soooooo slowwwwwwwww.

[Money_May]

Stfu froch no one owes you anything or any loyalty. There making a living for themselves.
