Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 10, 2009 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 10, 2009 it was a decent scrap. Fry looked good up until around round 4 then he kinda ran out of gas and it was no longer competitive, he was by no means overwhelmed thouhgh. The finish was clinical.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted October 12, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 There seems to be a new channel popped up on the Sky EPG today. Â It is a PPV channel dedicated to boxing. I think it'll basically show the boxing that Setanta did. http://www.primetimelive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'm really looking forward to the Super Six, although it's not being shown on UK TV, is it? Â Yep, PPV on channel 480-Primetime. Gotta ring up or order it online as you can't do it rhough your remote. Â I'm going to the fight tomorrow night and really can't wait. The undercard is a bag of wank, but the Abraham v Taylor fight is on the big screens at about 10-ish. Â Making a weekend of it, going to see Forest v Newcastle before it tomorrow evening, then Panthers v Cov Blaze in the Ice Hockey on Sunday. Â Froch will win this fight I reckon, but will struggle with Abraham and Kessler if he comes up against them in the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members nfc90210 Posted October 18, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) I ordered the Froch fight on Primetime. Â The Abraham/Taylor fight was entertaining. As my brother phrased it, "Abraham turned man off again." Prior to that though (Taylor got knocked out with seconds left in the fight) it was enjoyable and fairly competitive. Abraham took over in the latter stages and was winning on the cards. Taylor was still throwing though. He deserved to go the distance. In boxing though you don't always get what you deserve. Â Abraham is a bad man. I think some of the defensive frailties that Froch has shown in recent fights could hurt him against Abraham. Froch has a good chin, but I don't think he can afford to take shots off Abraham. He simply hits too hard.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted October 18, 2009 Moderators Share Posted October 18, 2009 That Carl Froch is a dirty sod. Cracking fight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members nfc90210 Posted October 18, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted October 18, 2009 So, Carl Froch beat Andre Dirrell by split decision in a bout that was far from a classic. Â Personally, I thought that Dirrell just edged it. He was very fast and had slick movement. He made Froch miss a lot. Â That said though, some of the rounds where close. Froch is the champion and I could see judges favouring him in the close rounds. Also, Froch was the one coming forward trying to make the fight. A lot of judges like that more than slick defensive boxing. Â I would have gone the other way but I don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 A good win for Froch against Dirrell. I'm all in favour of skillful boxing, but I can't stand these fighters that throw tappy punches then run away, so I was happy to see Froch win. Â Apart from that, i'm always glad to see cocky Americans get beaten. Â Abraham looks like he'll be a tough proposition for anyone. I know that him and Kessler are the favourites, and I can see why that would be the case as far as Abraham goes. Â I can't see Froch getting much out of that fight, but he'll give it a bash, which is all you can sk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted October 21, 2009 Moderators Share Posted October 21, 2009 I remember watching that at my Uncle Alan's because he had sky when I was 8. I was convinced Bruno was going to win, but it all seemed to fall about around Round 7, if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
