By Shaun Campbell: Saturday night Carl Froch showed something that completely changed my opinion of him. Before I saw him as a man who got a world title, got lucky by beating Jermain Taylor, and then was exposed by genuine world class fighters in Mikkel Kessler and Andre Dirrell (who in my opinion beat Froch). But his performance on Saturday night was nothing short of exceptional. I’ve got a lot of respect for Carl after watching this fight. The man doesn’t duck anyone, he comes to fight, but he showed he does have some decent boxing skills as he dominated the hard hitting Arthur Abraham.

I personally didn’t believe he had enough in him to box his way to victory, and I was picking Abraham to stop Froch, but I’m so glad to say I was totally wrong. Unlike many other authors on this site, I’m not ruled by bias opinions. If I’m wrong I’ll say I am. Unlike such writers as David Lahr or Chris Williams, I’d apologize to Carl Froch for not giving him the credit he deserved over the years.

There is no doubt that he is world class now. For me a few questions still remain about his defence, but right now that’s not important. He’s got his world title back. Let’s allow him to enjoy it as his next fight will be again against Arthur Abraham, who now, I can’t see beating the Nottingham fighter.

So I would like to say sorry to Carl Froch and good luck in the rest of the super 6 tournament.
