Preview of Super-Middleweight Tournament

[cunningbutthick]

Im sick to death of hearing all you slagging all these fighters off especially Carl Froch.

Carl Froch has had some amazing fights and is as hard as they come and if he does lose he will still get my respect.

Dirrell, what a talented fighter and what a shame he decided to fight in such a negative way, its fighters fighting in that negative way that is turning people off boxing.

Abraham is great, ward is wow and can Kessler come back after that beating, who knows but im dying to find out. Go Froch

[geoffkarikari]

No Carl - you spoke to soon about the unification bout with Kessler! He'll be gunning for your belt as he's just lost his so you better be prepared!

[BigKjr90]

Froch is officially food...Dirrell exposed him

[ROBMANDAM]

dirrell exposed him how???but not leaving a mark on froch???Froch bloodied dirrell in a ugly fight with his jab alone...thats why the ring side press had froch winning..learn your boxing...

[boxing1000]

Boxing is not about laving marks on people but landing punches.Andrade took a million punches against Kessler without a nick,comprende?Dirrell landed the clean effective punches staggering Froch in the process.If that version of Froch shows up against Kessler he will get knocked out cold as Mikkel will land his right over Frochs pawing jab.

[svntsvn]

to give dirrell his first loss that way was pathetic.

[Aramik1988]

Arthur Abraham gone bit Froch... for sure!!!! Arthur Champion forever!!!!

[fear1no1man]

froch to ko him in the 5th round

[sammbaldwin295]

Pascal has won a world title at 175lbs you moron!

It don't matter if Froch got owned for the majority of the fight against Taylor, Taylor got KNOCKED OUT! Froch never!

[funguysmall]

Froch too ko direll in 9th round

[jakel145]

froch dirrell- froch sparks him in 8

[doddzy0]

totally agree, froch to win it too

[MothandMoon]

All the best of luck Carl.

[edwards21416]

froch has bags of stamina never see he give up ,its gonna have to be a great punch to take him out

[metaldaveboy]

it doesn't matter if he loses or wins or if anyone else does, this is what boxing is about and other boxer could take a leaf out of his book and fight the best, thats why boxing has lost respect and mma fighters fight each other as the best in their weights, take note.

Too many boxers take easy fights, if everyone done this no fighter would have a perfect record but who gives a shit?! I would rather see honourable fights and battles than lame easy defences!!

[morepussythenyou]

Froch is shit has no hope, he would of lost to taylor if he didnt knock him out. He'll be out 1st round.

[reno573]

FROCH IS THE BEST!!

[ManlnCognito]

Says a guy who bends over and lets his dog hump him, films it and posts it on the net

[dudeazoid]

not one of these fights will be easy for anyone in this comp. Froch has a fuck hard 3 fights. its ace that he totally wants to fight everyone in the world who is good. Take note Khan.

[stdelcambre]

Can't wait! This is just the sort of thing boxing needs more of! I've seen all of these guys fight quite a few times....and while they're all good fighters in their own right, I've got to say Kessler is the favorite to win this thing.

[boxingfan4ever]

Can't wait! Basically every fight is gonna be a toss up... I really wanna see how Dirrell fares against Froch because it doesn't seem like he fights best going backwards and that's what Froch is gonna do to him. I think Taylor will have his way with Abraham, he's too fast and long for him and Kessler-Ward is gonna be a throwback

[cdubb3]

Wow mad respect for this dude you don't find boxers like this anymore .

[howzie23yo]

taylor woul knock kessler out round 6 or seven the only guy who would trouble froch is abraham fuck it frochs gunna av it yehhhhh

[andy34swales]

after watching froch vs taylor then the pair of them wont live with the kessler who fought calzaghe,froch is so 1 dimentional and slow,and if he keeps his hands down by his side like they where against taylor[who doesnt have a punch] then kessler will knock him out.taylor cant last 12 rounds and supper middle is to heavy for him,as for the rest of them,in all honesty i dont really know what their like,,so my money on what i no so far,has to b on kessler

[RibenaSpring]

everyone says the same thing about froch before every fight yet he wins everytime, Taylor is much faster than Kessler

[andy34swales]

ive only ever seen 1 of frochs fights,and that was against taylor,i new about him,thru the media,so i exspected froch to a bit special,,i could not believe how bad he looked against taylor,and yes he 1 the fight,but u dont always find a lucky punch in the12th,when uve been outclassed as much as he was.the only person i c now biggin froch up,is froch himself,,the fact is froch thinks a bit much of himself,hes not that good,simple as that

[RibenaSpring]

and Dirrell doesn't big himself up lol have you heard what hes been saying, thats the boxing world, iv watched nearly everyone of Carls fights where as you have watched one Dirrell wont be Froch if you go by Dirrells last fight hes in for a shock just watch, no such thing as a lucky punch sorry

[andy34swales]

ive never even heard the name dirrell mentioned b4 this fantasy even was set up,but i can definitely guess what rubbish comes out of his mouth,hes no different to any other yank,their all mouth and fuck all else,i can picture him now,im gona do this,im gona b that,im the best that ever lived,and the best thing is the yanks will fucking believe him,,look i think,dirrell and ward-way out of their league,abraham-wont b strong enough at supper,taylor no guts or heart,froch-unproven,kesller-w­inner

[RibenaSpring]

i had but not alot of him, not being funny but Dirrell is yet to prove himself people are going on like his been the champ for years or something if he beats froch then yeah, i understand his talent but he could be another Lacy, Abraham will also grind Taylor down i think and win a UD but a ko is possible, have to see how Arthur copes at SMW

[andy34swales]

if kessler fights like he did against joe,then his jab will b to fast and to good for froch to get passed,coupled with the fact he will back up his jab with powerful punches,i really havent seen enough of froch to make a case 4 him,kessler will b to strong for abraham,the 2 young boys,they deserve their shot,as they r both mandatory challengers for 2 of the belts in the competition,taylor could b the dark horse,only if he trains and gets fit,unlike the froch fight,hes a good boxer,very fast

[kissmyarse666]

carl will walk thou them?

[goreguzzler]

Sorry but Froch is not looking past Direll, he has already stated that Direll presents a tough fight.

Direll may land flush on Carl but Direll is not as heavy handed as Carl, he may be quicker but so was Taylor.

I know it took time for Carl to get to Taylor but he did in the end, and with Carls home crowd behind him that will spur him on.

Carl can knock a fighter out at anytime with either hand, if he catches Direll then he is going.

Lets not forget that Anthony Hanshaw had Direll down!

[bunce101]

dirrel is similar to taylor but alot more durable and tougher, he shold be favorite against froch

[29Gixxer]

Your fogetting power. Taylor is more powerfull than Dirrell.

[BoxingDVDspecialist]

Why is this fool looking past Andre Dirrell. Dirrell is going to make Froch look slow and clumsy and slow of hand and foot which he is. Dirrell will land so many punches on Froch flush, Froch takes too many punches and Taylor would probably waste him in a rematch. Froch's ego is going to get smashed to pieces. Froch is going to lose every fight in this tournament.

[OrioNX99]

Anything can happen, he's not looking past him at all, he's giving all his opponents respect.

[TheRaheelDeal]

haha, still laughing from Froch saying Khan's fight was boring, i personally found it very a interesting fight, considering Khan looked good against a fighter you never look good against.

But it's funny he said that, considering he took a 11 round beating at the hands of Taylor, before getting lucky against a worn out Taylor!

[29Gixxer]

lol are you saying the Taylor vs Froch fight was boring?

Froch got off to a bad start but that was his first big fight in the US. Froch done Pascal who is now a distingushed light heavy.

Froch can diss Khan simply coz Froch will fight the best where as Kahn won't. Kahn will move up & down the weights so as to avoid fighting the tough opponents.

If Kahn was to fight Prescott again I would revise my oppinion of him.

[29Gixxer]

Also you won't ever see Carl get KO'd in 20 seconds haha

[TheRaheelDeal]

No i'm saying Froch got owned for majority of the fight againt aan average fighter with no heart! Got a lucky KO against a tired fighter. lets see a rematch & see if Carl has learned not to defend with his face.

Pascal??!!?? wtf?!! lmfao who the fuck has Pascal beat?? did he fight any of the middle/super middle fighters like PAvlik, Abraham, Kessler??

[29Gixxer]

Pascal is doing well in light heavy so he is no bum. You should remember that was Froch's 1st big fight in the States.

As for a rematch, i'd love to see that as I suspect Carl will hit the gas ealier on in the fight.

We may get our wish there.

I took issue with the Kan reference. lol Carl is no kahn that's for sure. At least Carl wants to fight the best. More than what you can say for Kahn.

[goreguzzler]

People seem to forget that Carl Froch is a puncher with a granite jaw and very underatted skill.

His jab is a potent weapon when he uses it, most of the time he does not have to because he will probably have you out of there before he has to revert to it.

Froch is not hating on Khan, he is simply stating a fact, that if he comes up against a true World Class Champ like Juan Manuel Marquez, or Anthony Peterson he will get crushed.

This is a tough tournament that will bring the best out of Carl

[tydhop]

id pick nathan cleverly to beat him convincingly forgrt calzghe hed get spanked by calzaghe lacy style, and also why is froch hating against khan so much, there not rivals totally different weight dvsns, so why is he hating, brit fighters normally back each other unless there rivals, the word on the streets in notts is froch is a blatant racist..i thnk hes just jealous

[mu5lim]

Froch has always talked against khan, he is jealous of khan being able to make money fighting nobodies. Carl Froch has a boring personality.

[tydhop]

froch will lose all 3 of those fights, his defense is novest like, hes lucky to have ever won a world title, but hes had his moments, thats th most hell get now, this tournament is the end of froch mark my words..

[Boxingbabbie]

notice how pavlik hasnt moved up

what a punk

[boxing1000]

Why should he if he can still make 160 and has almost all the titles there?????

[Boxingbabbie]

because he should be wanting to prove hes the best Abraham has done it so why cant kelly pavlik

i'll tell you why its because he knows he wouldnt win them all thats why

[boxing1000]

Sorry,but you're WAY of base here...What exactly has Abraham proven???There are no name fighters apart from Miranda and Ikeke on his record and anyone who has the least bit of knowledge about boxing knows Miranda beat him the first time and reagrding the second one,Edison was quite softened at the hands of one Kelly Pavlik...

[boxing1000]

Pavlik has not lost at middleweight yet and there is no reasoning at all for him to move up so far especially as he seems LESS effective at the higher weights as was evidence in the second Taylor and Hopkis fight..

[Boxingbabbie]

so?

hes lost one at super mid doesnt mean hes gonna lose he should of fought Abraham already to prove who the best is and abraham would of won anyway pavlik just wants to stay in his comfort zone

[lennard]

knock them all out froch

[OrthodoxSteel]

Carl Froch and the interviewer are STUPID CUNTS.

"Germany has a bad history". Yeah, sure. Fast Eddie Chambers dropped a decision to Povetkin and won a decision vs Dimitrenko in Germany.

The Germans are very fair.

Froch is a pleb dickhead and the people in charge of the boxing media know FUCK ALL.

[percesausage]

carlis a true warrior

[OrthodoxSteel]

Carl is a true bullshitter-Calzaghe kills him and Wlad would too. Fat mouth midland cunt is what Carl is. Go back to fighting Pavlik left overs.

[bobbykoedkotto]

fucking come to the midlands then prick see what happens you fucking faggot

[Phatfarm1980]

I respect all the guys in this tournament because I all honestly believe they think that they can all win it!

Whats ITV box office? I hope it doesn't go to sky!

[RibenaSpring]

yeah thats true, all of these fights are going to be really good and interesting, i wouldn't right any of them off but i think Froch and Kessler will dominate,

[yomofo890]

Calzaghe must of been asked and declined......................­....... Shame, looking forward to froach and kessler though !

[OzzyBizzle]

Thats the guy from Setanta doing the interview. Was on the Bunce Hour

[OrthodoxSteel]

Must have bills to pay.

[deram]

I respect Froch for his balls.

[retror0b0t]

what the fuck is itv box office?

[8toponkarim]

wat the hell is he wearin!?

[onetwopunchyerface]

Froch is the man!!!

[SHIVARMETIMBRZ]

carl froch is a cock

[sgsfightclub]

dirrel is gonna outbox froch

[SineyFtw]

Is that Andy from bunces boxing hour?

[TheRaheelDeal]

This will be Great for Boxing!! :-D

[richandgaz]

i agree, we needed this.

i hope it works well and some other divisions follow suit

im a froch fan but i see this going to abraham if he can carry the weight up or kessler otherwise

[TheRaheelDeal]

12 round battle?? as far as i remember it was a 12 round beating Froch took, & Ko'd a worn out Taylor. Taylor's Fitness/Heart is atrocious!

[Jimmynable]

I think Calzaghe vs Froch would be a lot like the Taylor fight except Calzaghe would win more rounds than Taylor did and he wouldn't fade like Taylor did as well.

[Jimmynable]

I like that Froch will fight anyone, any where. I don't like the way he tried to get a fight with Calzaghe he was calling him out long before he did any to warrant him getting a shot. By the time he had done enough to get one Joe had just lost all respect for him and Froch just tries to make it look like Clazaghe is scared of him. Calzaghe went to America and beat Hopkins why would he be scared of Froch. Hopkins is old but he still has it he would probably be too much for Carl.

[cones2005]

itv are thinking of opening their own ppv channel and these fights will be shown on it, it wasnt a mistake by froch

[1Grosvenor3]

what the hell is ITV BOX OFFICE!?

[ReptilianOverlord]

it's the rape of the working man!

[MrHooverMouth]

fout its supposed 2 be on sky

[Tonyukmma]

Froch is gonna shine and win this

[all10980]

ITV BOX OFFICE LOL

[Tonyukmma]

what the f**k is itv box office?

[evilmickey]

I think Joe Would beat Frotch. I think he'd smash him up to.

[togjuice]

Carl Froch is a throw-back fighter. He wants to get stuck in to the elite fighters, even if that means fighting in their backyards. He's got a great attitude and it's refreshing to see. Good luck Carl, give it your best.

[TimeSplittersChimp]

This tournement will be great for boxing

[serpakovski]

that little bitch FROCH is gonna get smashed

[biggerflexible]

Carl Froch > Joe Calzaghe

[NormenBatez]

Carl Froch is a good fighter but I don't think he can beat Andre Dirrell. However I can't help but respect Carl Froch because he isn't trying to hide and pad his record.

Carl Froch has taken more risk in being Champion for less than a year than Joe Clazaghe took in a 10+ Year Regin.

I can't help but respect Froch's Courage

[scottvska]

British people sure do love using the word "fantastic"

[evilmickey]

Nice asumption.

[cfcnlr]

thats him from setanta luvd him n buncey hopefully buncey gets a spot in itv sports

[kg21carlito]

thanks for another great video.
