"I am gonna see what hes got for a few rounds, then its gonna be a toe to toe batle, its gonna be trench warfare"

I am pumped for this fight Big Time.

It could be entertaining enough, but I'm not expecting Vasquez-Marquez III type action.

Just read a few bits and pieces about it this morning. I get the feeling both of these guys fancy it big time. I'm really excited for 6th December... what a great night it's going to be!

It will be good to see how Froch does taking it up a level. I'm looking forward to this one.

It wont be trench warfare. It takes 2 for that and Pascal's chin will let him down the first time he gets tagged.

I find myself actually liking Carl Froch, something I was unable to do in the past.

I think this will be a very entertaining fight indeed, great that it's on free TV too.

Froch should win.

And me :good

Sure there will be, winning a world title in your own city thats what dreams are made of!

I dont really get to many big fights, normally prefer the local shows but am really buzzed for this one.

Really enjoyed listening to Froch talk recently. He has dropped the JC routine and is concentrating on his own career. He still sounds very confident but a more likeable guy. Hopefully he will win the belt and give Britain a new world champion.

I am looking forward to his fight more than any other.

I agree he seems to have matured, actually heard him say Calzaghe fought very well against RJJ. Quietly confident.

Yep I try to always support the Brit fighter but have been put off by the personalities of certain fighters such as Haye and Hatton. I still want Haye to be successful and I like how Froch is acting nowdays, he was close to turning into a nutjob like Witter.

Just a mention also Martin Gethin Vs Scott Lawton (lightweight English title) has been added to the bill, heard a week or so ago but think its offical now. Should be a good fight.

Pascal looked awful his last few fights.

I am no fan of Froch, but he should take this rather easily.

Froch UD, maybe a late stoppage, not sure about Pascal's chin.

I'd go for a late Froch stoppage, and I'm 100% with the people who have mentioned Carl maturing recently. Maybe an authority figure told him he was playing it all wrong? I didn't like the guy one bit the last couple of years, but will now definitely be rooting for him.

I'm excited about this fight because it's a nice styles match-up, because it will tell us (a bit) more about both fighters and because the winner will be in some very good fights soon.

About Froch...he has a public persona. Most people don't like it, but remember this: he is in it for the money just like every other pro fighter. Some talk more than others, some are better advised than others, and some make more money portraying themselves in the victim/anti-hero role, like Froch does. Is he a good guy? Only those who know him well can say that. Can he be a twat and a goog guy? Yes, he can! Does it really matter if he's a good guy? Not when it comes to his boxing...after all, we don't watch boxing because we're looking for moral role-models, right?

As long as he fights his mandatories and stops telling lies in the press about opponents ducking him etc. (i.e. as long as his professional ethical standards are not below par), he can say what he wants in my book...it makes little concrete difference.

Am I warming to him? No, I am not. But am I excited by his all-action aggressive, risk-taking style? You bet! And that's why I am interested in his career.:good

THAT VIDEO HAS GOT ME EVEN MORE HYPED! I have been offered ringside tickets for the khan/enzo show but am leaning towards watching froch instead.
