By Scott Gilfoid: After predicting a win for Allan Green in his fight against World Boxing Association (WBA) super middleweight champion Andre Ward this past weekend in their Super Six tournament bout, Carl Froch was less than complimentary about Ward’s performance in the fight. Speaking to Livefight.com, the former WBC super middleweight champion Froch said “First and foremost, as a spectator it was like watching paint dry. I recorded the fight to my TV box and can honestly say I will be recording over it. Ward has skills but they won’t pay the bills. People tune in to be entertained, but that jab and maul style, leaning in constantly with his bony head, holding and hitting was very tedious to watch.”

Froch vs. Pavlik a possibility in the future?
By Marc Gliddon: For years I have thought Kelly Pavlik (36,2 32KOs), and Carl Froch (26,1 20KOs) have many things in common. Both men have won world titles at a time of weak competition and against questionable opposition, both men favour conventional straight power shots over boxing skills and both men come from traditional white working class areas. But now they share another similarity and that is they both might have nowhere to go – except a possible match up with each other.
Froch hopes Green will beat Ward this Saturday
By William Mackay: Former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) is picking Allan Green (29-1, 20 KO’s) to upset World Boxing Association super middleweight champion Andre Ward (21-0, 13 KO’s) this Saturday night in the stage 2 part of the Super Six tournament. Froch, 32, is going against the flow of the general boxing public in picking the 30-year-old Green to win this fight, because most boxing experts and fans see this as a clear cut win for Ward.
Is Froch on the verge of being eliminated from the Super Six tournament?
By William Mackay: Former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) has been dragging his heels for the past two months ever since he was beaten by Mikkel Kessler by a 12 round unanimous decision on April 24th in his stage 2 Super Six bout. Now, Froch is rejecting venues like their going out of style for his stage 3 Super Six bout against Arthur Abraham and I’m worrying whether the loss did something to Froch’s mind. He doesn’t seem to have the old fearless warrior attitude that he had before his loss to Kessler.
Froch wants Abraham fight to take place in Canada, Ireland or Nottingham, doesn’t care about money
by Sean McDaniel: Former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) says he doesn’t care about money. He wants to be able to beat his next Super Six tournament opponent Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s) and doesn’t trust having the fight take place in Germany where Froch feels he has little chance of winning because of the judges. There is also talk of Froch’s September 18th fight against Abraham being pushed back even further to October 2nd because of the inability of a neutral venue to be decided upon, according to an article at Thisisnottingham.co.uk.

By William Mackay: Former World Boxing Council super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) has ruled out another two countries where he doesn’t want to fight his next Super Six tournament opponent Arthur Abraham. Froch now doesn’t want to fight Abraham in Monaco or Poland. Froch has already said he didn’t want to fight Abraham in Germany. In an article at Thisisnottingham.co.uk, Froch said “The next fight is all or nothing for me. I’m only going to fight on my terms. I won’t be pushed around this time. I won’t be going anywhere east of Nottingham to fight. I don’t mind Canada but I not going to Poland or Monaco. And I’m not fighting in Berlin – there’s no chance of getting a verdict there.”
Is Froch wasting his time worrying about finding the perfect venue for the Abraham bout?
By William Mackay: Former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) has been a hard one to please recently after losing his last fight to Mikkel Kessler by a 12 round decision on April 24th.

Froch is now facing Arthur Abraham in the stage 3 part of the Super Six tournament and Froch is less than happy that he won’t be able to fight Abraham in Nottingham, England, where Froch fights most of his bouts.
Froch says he won’t fight Abraham anywhere in Europe but England
By William Mackay: Former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) still isn’t giving up on the idea of his next Super Six fight taking place in England. Froch, 32, says he wouldn’t mind fighting Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s) in London or Manchester, England. In an article at Thesun.com, Froch says “I’m more than happy to go to Canada because all I want is a fair crack. I won’t fight anywhere in Europe unless it’s in Britain. They’re looking at a neutral venue. It’s my turn to fight at home [Froch talking about Nottingham] and I’m not fighting Abraham in Germany. London or Manchester [both in England] would be class as a neutral venue because I’m from Nottingham, and of course I would be for the fight to take place there.”
