By Scott Gilfoid: WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (27-1, 20 KO’s) feels confident that he can not only beat 42-year-old Glen Johnson (51-14-2, 35 KO’s) but make it look good by knocking him out on Showtime on June 4th in his semifinal bout at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Froch is the favorite in this fight, but thus far many of the favorites have already bitten the dust with defeats. If Froch isn’t on his game he could wind up as another one of the disappointing European fighters that have ended up getting spanked.

Super Six – Not perfect, but a good idea…
By Jon Neale: When first announced the Super Six Tournament was a breath of fresh air to the Boxing world. To this day I think the theory behind the tournament is sound and the idea of the ‘best fighting the best’ is something almost completely Alien to most of the Boxing Fraternity in this day and age.
