By Scott Gilfoid: I don’t know really what happened with Yusaf Mack (31-5-2, 17 KO’s) in his loss to IBF super middleweight champion Carl Froch (30-2, 22 KO’s) last Saturday night in Nottingham, because Mack is a lot better than what he showed in that fight.
That wasn’t the true Mack that got mowed down in three quick rounds without even getting some hard licks in. Mack has never been like that before in any of his fights and he just didn’t look right. The way he was all dried out looking, it reminded me a lot of how WBC light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson looked when he drained down to 168 to challenge WBA/WBC super middleweight champion Andre Ward recently.
