By Scott Gilfoid: WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (27-1, 20 KO’s) says that he’s starting his training this week for his semifinal Super Six tournament bout against Glen Johnson (51-14-2, 35 KO’s) on May 21st. I smell fear coming from Froch a million miles away. Here Froch has months to go before this fight, and he’s already starting his training. At this rate, Froch is going to be a walking skeleton by the time he enters the ring against Johnson.
Froch vs. Johnson
Froch to start training for Johnson bout this week
By Scott Gilfoid: WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (27-1, 20 KO’s) has decided to start his training camp this week for his May 21st bout against 42-year-old Glen Johnson (51-14-2, 35 KO’s) for their semifinals Super Six tournament bout. As of now, there isn’t a designated venue, but Froch is holding out hope that the fight will take place in the UK. It’s going to be up to Showtime whether they’ll agree to that.
Froch-Johnson on 5/21 at the O2 Arena, in London
By Scott Gilfoid: It’s looking like Glen Johnson (51-14-2, 35 KO’s) is going to have to travel to England on May 21st to face WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (27-1, 20 KO’s) at the O2 Arena, in Greenwich, London. I don’t like this for Johnson. I think he’s going to have problems in this fight if he doesn’t score a knockout. Froch was able to win a controversial 12 round decision over Andre Dirrell while fighting at home in England in his first fight in the Super Six tournament in 2009.
Haye to fight on May 21st at the O2 on same card as Froch-Johnson
By Sean McDaniel: World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 17 KO’s) is scheduled to defend his WBA title on May 21st at the O2 Arena, in Greenwich, London. The fight will be part of a doubleheader with WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch facing Glen Johnson in their semifinal Super Six tournament bout. Sky Sports wants the Haye and Froch fights to be a doubleheader, as it will bring in more money on pay-per-view if they’re lumped in together.
Froch-Johnson: Glen considering fighting Carl in England if the money is right
By Scott Gilfoid: 42-year-old Glen Johnson (51-14-2, 35 KO’s) faces WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (27-1, 20 KO’s) in the semifinals of the Super Six tournament on May 21st at a still to be decided venue. To his credit, Johnson is saying he would be agreeable to fighting Froch in England if the money is fight, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN. Normally, I would strongly urge Johnson to avoid fighting Froch in his home city of Nottingham, England, after seeing Froch win what appeared to be a hometown decision over the blistering fast Andre Dirrell in the Froch’s first fight in the Super Six tournament in October 2009.
