The misfortune of Carl Froch
When a boxer finds himself having won the best fight of ;last year and the best fight of the year before that he should be able to dictate terms. Fight at home, take a bigger slice of the pay and take an easy fight or two. If you ase Amr Khan this would be true. Even after being knocked out. Carl Froch, undefeated champion. A man Calzaghe wouldnt fight is to fight Kessler this weekend in Denmark. His original flight plans are all thrown out due to Jessies volcano. He now has made his way by hellicoptor. Froch remained an amateur till 27 and has been sparring with amateurs to put something back. He wont use conventional medicine and distrusts doctors. His fights are invariably bloodbaths where as a spectater you wonder if this is right yet that pure brutalty of the naural world most of us are so distant from is brought closer. We are animals and that is why we are equal. Kessler equalled Calzaghe bar a millimetre. I fear this may be Frochs' last great fight. Kessler lost his first of the super6 tournament which meens he may be well fired up. Without 100% preperation this fight will be a truggle and it would be another Froch miracle legend building moment if he wins. What sort of justice is there when no major channel will show this nations most exciting champion? All I can think is his promotion company must be poor in both senses of the word. Froch has had to do every step the hard way, an almost cursed career yet he has defeated all that, never ducked a fight, taken lower purses than his standing deserves. A true unsung legend.
