Froch for me on that one too.
― William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 23:44 (fifteen years ago) link
2 to go, the fact that they've both stayed upright this long is pretty impressive.

So on ITV's cards, Pascal needs the knockout now.
― William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 23:45 (fifteen years ago) link
Aye Pascal is reduced to throwing haymakers in hope rather than expectation. Still dangerous all the same.

hey william did j ross go home empty handed?

Sort of, except I think he was already at home. Not as comedy entertaining as Alan Carr, apparently.
― William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 23:47 (fifteen years ago) link
And they've made it to round twelve! How?
― William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 23:49 (fifteen years ago) link
Froch's mum looks like she'd be pretty handy, too.
― Me and Ruth Lorenzo, Rollin' in the Benzo (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 6 December 2008 23:51 (fifteen years ago) link
terrific fight, cant believe it went the distance. Reckon froch dominated the 2nd half of the fight and won by 3 or 4 rounds. But both looked like world champions.
― Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 6 December 2008 23:52 (fifteen years ago) link
Must be Froch, surely. Don't think he'd fancy a re-match.
― Me and Ruth Lorenzo, Rollin' in the Benzo (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 6 December 2008 23:53 (fifteen years ago) link
Best fight in a long long time. Awesome it was on ITV so everyone can see it.
― Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 6 December 2008 23:53 (fifteen years ago) link
Heckuva fight, no idea how to score that last round, but I think Froch's later rounds were that much better that he must have it. Surely there'll be a rematch, though. (Probably on Setanta)

And Mikkel Kessler's still got the WBA strap, too.
― William Bloody Swygart, Saturday, 6 December 2008 23:56 (fifteen years ago) link
Absolute classic, I could watch that again and again. Must be in the top 10 of fights I've seen.

McGuigan reeling off that list of potential fights for Froch did make things sound very exciting.
― William Bloody Swygart, Sunday, 7 December 2008 00:07 (fifteen years ago) link
Pascal very classy in defeat too. Hope he gets another crack at a belt - given that Lucian Bute's the IBF champion...
― William Bloody Swygart, Sunday, 7 December 2008 00:12 (fifteen years ago) link
Pascal looked like a world champ. That's how great Froch was.
Fancy Froch vs Calzaghe?
― Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 7 December 2008 00:13 (fifteen years ago) link
Not sure he's a big enough name yet for it to be an offer Calzaghe can't refuse. I'd say Kessler should be next for Froch - that gives him and Calzaghe a common opponent, and, if Froch can beat him well, it gives him a point to needle Joe with.
― William Bloody Swygart, Sunday, 7 December 2008 00:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Can't see Joe going back down to Super Middle and I think Froch will want to stay there.
Froch and Kessler both look to have great chins, could be as good as the Froch vs Pascal fight.

Just read through this thread for first time in a while - a few good calls (Calzaghe/Hopkins) and a few ridiculous ones "I think Roy Jones would take his (Calgazhe's) head off."
Strange that Khan being wrecked by Prescott didn't make the thread.

From an ABC story on De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao (TKO in 9th round):
Fighthype.com's score cards had Pacquiao winning, 80-72, throughout eight rounds. Compubox indicators also showed that Pacquiao landed 195 out of 333 power punches compared to de la Hoya's 51/164.
iow, 4:1 punches landed == not much of a fight. too bad. Oscar should retire now.

I think it's more depressing that he's reduced to hosting at the National Video Game Awards or whatever the fuck it was.

but he sounds as though he was hammering him anyway so it doesnt matter really. Khan haters (there's loads on 606) will still say how Barrera was past it etc
