This was fun, Froch comes across authoritative and passionate when it comes to coaching. Not saying he should be a coach, he makes good money in media, but I'm sure he'd make a respected and inspiring mentor to young fighters
but did you know he knocked out george groves infront of 80,000 people and anthony joshua was on the undercard not sure if anyones ever mentioned it before
When you have a chin like Frochs you don't need defence. Super Middle never been the same since he retired, loved watching Froch fights and was lucky to see 3 of them live. True warrior.
At first I really didn’t like froch but after doing some research into his career I most definitely have respect for him he’s certainly put the graft in
I agree Iain, a lot don't like Froch but for me he's one of the best british boxers of the last 30 years consistently up there with the best, great chin, hard as nails and a good boxing brain, if you put the personal side of things to out of the way like him or loath him you just gotta respect and rate him....
Bring Boxing back in schools i say, its staring the goverment in the face how to get sum dicipline into kids at an early age, and maybe it would solve alot of social issues, i know it certainly dome me good to join a boxing gym at 11 year old, alot of the people at that gym went into other careers but that gym stood them in good stead for their life
Light hearted exchange, yet I can't help feeling Carl just can't help himself to get a bit competitive and go in for the kill. ... ? I guess you have to have that Ego to do what he's done. From a purely coaching and technical perspective though, I feel that body sparring should be about creating angles, and quick in and out and resetting of the footwork, and importantly defence... etc. with hands UP! ..., typical froch not once told him to get his hands up to his chin even though they were body sparring. No point just aimlessly whacking gloves, arms, shoulder is there......, He did well the little scouse fellow didn't he. Although a tad more charm and a cheeky wink wouldn't have gone a miss......,I could tell froch was thinking 'Who's this little misery in front of me' ... ha.
As of now, I'm going with Golovkin and Hagler. We'll see if GGG beats Canelo in the rematch. Dude took many clean shots and *combos* from heavy hitters like Stevens, Lemieux, Brook, Jacobs, and Canelo and just shook them off like it was nothing. And most of those guys he fought when he was (is) past his prime.
How was Brook far too light? Kell Brook weighed *11 pounds* more than Golovkin for that fight at the 30 day weigh in, *5 pounds* more at the 7 day weigh in, and *0.5 pounds* more at the official weigh in...
WoW ! What a fab never forgotten experience that would be. Its like pro football, always looks easy from the sidelines or TV, But one of my all time fave fights was/is Carl v Groves (both) and the other Eubanks v calzaghe, watched both fights again last night, Just awesome Would love for Carl to do some boxing vids for beginners videos lol
He would have murked me.. But I would have slipped past the jab and twisted in my hardest possible right hook... Then woke up in hospital feature on ten o'clock news etc..
He was a good boxer but just a little adjustment in attitude and he be liked a lot more. You can see the passion and props to that guy to even step in that ring! Bet he had bruising all over in the morning:-)
Carl - “Just the jab now, one arm” Carl proceeds to hit him with jab, cross left hook 😂 Would to see a fly on the wall documentary on Carl “Life after boxing”
When froch did the whole thing were he repeats knocking out groves I’m pretty certain he was playing a game that many sportsman were where they had to repeat a particular word or phrase as many times as possible Paul Sackey said the word buzzing about 50 times in 2 minutes live on telly after and England rugby match
If Froch didn't talk about himself so much, he would be much more likeable and people would talk about how great he was because he was and he wouldnt have too. Quite simply people would talk about him and he wouldnt have too.
A scouser from the Guardian - poor sod,. He can’t laugh at his own jokes and be “hilarious” because he’s not allowed to tell any in case they’re racist,sexist,homophobic, xenophobic, transphobic or even just funny, as jokes are are part of the oppressive patriarchy . He’s probably from Wirral, but the stereotype wouldn’t work as well 😏
Bloody terrifying by the looks of it - I have always liked Frochy - I say this all the time but I saw a documentary once where he was training and went up some steps - it was like when Benn got punched through the ropes and caught his foot stepping back in - just a viciousness in those briefest of movements that made me feel bad because no way am i brave like their opponents - no way am i out there - are you crazy?
What’s it like sparring with the International Superstar Carl Froch and falling on your own leg in front of 80,000 people at Wembley with Lee ‘The Alcoholic’ Froch screaming gibberish in your ear? Only George Groves will ever know the answer to that.
Think Froch forgot where he was at the end there, started going for the finish.
This was fun, Froch comes across authoritative and passionate when it comes to coaching. Not saying he should be a coach, he makes good money in media, but I'm sure he'd make a respected and inspiring mentor to young fighters
Bit heavy from Froch at the end haha jeez
lolol
are you from down south???
Well you can play football,you can play rugby you play basketball,you don’t play boxing.
@@garygreen226 yes, whered you hear that, every fighter whos ever said it?
This is fun, loved watching Froch in his day. Although he did tend to block everything with his chin.
Uncle Sleven lol
He did block everything with his chin, good job he has one of the toughest chins in the sport though, right!?
He could knock people out by chinning them in the fist! 😂
His granite chin got him very far. He was knocked down by shots that would KO 99% of boxers in the division.
Uncle Sleven chin of iron that man
but did you know he knocked out george groves infront of 80,000 people and anthony joshua was on the undercard not sure if anyones ever mentioned it before
He knocked out Wembley in front of George groves with 80,000 people on the undercard
Knocked out onto his own leg
Bored of hearing the same comment lol
@@wilkinson1144 you win the internet ...lol
Carl Froch is nails . One of my all time favourites .
When you have a chin like Frochs you don't need defence. Super Middle never been the same since he retired, loved watching Froch fights and was lucky to see 3 of them live. True warrior.
Always better if someone says I don't know if he's got a chin he's never been hit!!
Tetlee calzaghe wouldve smashed him around the ring
Gregg has some balls. Even if it's only light sparring it is uncomfortable being in a ring with a world-level fighter. Also Gregg isn't 5'10.
it's not that big of a height difference, but froch has insane reach of 191 cms.
5'10 with a 65 inch reach would look almost like a T-rex.
Matthew Eyre - I agree. 5’8 max, maybe shorter.
Think there's a bit of a weight difference n all
He is 5 foot 8 I'd say carl is a good bit taller than him
Anyone that knocks Froch is a prat
He made the very best of his ability
Was as tough as they come and could bang a bit
Never a big fan of Frochs but he come across well in this video, insightful and showed no ego.
He explained he'd be knocking him spark out with how the defense was.. nothing egotistical about it.
showed no ego? .. ha ha ... , other than opening up on a total novice at the end....., other than that no ego you're right.
At first I really didn’t like froch but after doing some research into his career I most definitely have respect for him he’s certainly put the graft in
Froch had a granite chin. He did not find it hard to avoid punches because he did not have to. Froch iheus a natural hard man.
I agree Iain, a lot don't like Froch but for me he's one of the best british boxers of the last 30 years consistently up there with the best, great chin, hard as nails and a good boxing brain, if you put the personal side of things to out of the way like him or loath him you just gotta respect and rate him....
Definitely

Totally agree. Teach these youngens some discipline and respect. Help fight obesity and build self confidence.
Did they teach it in school back in the day like?
@@davidbrine8804 Yes mate, schoolboy championships.Still called same competition but nothing to do with the school anymore.
Brain damage
When Carl started making the noises the other bloke stopped hitting 😂
U would too 😂
Of all the fighters in the world I can imagine Carl probably enjoyed that more than any other would
Calzaghe would of beat 15 reporters up with his left hand 😎
Gavin Roberts calzaghe vs froch would of been a good fight
Light hearted exchange, yet I can't help feeling Carl just can't help himself to get a bit competitive and go in for the kill. ... ? I guess you have to have that Ego to do what he's done.

Mate. You ain’t 5’10” in a million years.
If he's 5'10'' froch must be 6ft5
@Anon El no he isn't I'm 5 foot 9 and I'm taller than him
@Anon El no chance
Hes 6'2
Froch has stated numerous times that he's 6'0 and not 6'1 as listed. The other guy is 5'7-5'8
i think gregg has had a fair bit of training before this. he was good. froch is such a legend
Fact
"And knock you spark out". That bit had me dying for some reason 😭
Gotta love Froch
No matter which journalist Froch got in the ring with, it was always going to be Groves that got most of the jabs.
The hardest chin in history plus a very heavy right hand. Respect to Froch.
Oliver McCall or Wayne McCullough for me
As of now, I'm going with Golovkin and Hagler. We'll see if GGG beats Canelo in the rematch.
Dude took many clean shots and *combos* from heavy hitters like Stevens, Lemieux, Brook, Jacobs, and Canelo and just shook them off like it was nothing. And most of those guys he fought when he was (is) past his prime.

lol relax bruh. I don't think you know what "far too light" means and what numbers mean...
Disagree ggg has a chin that don't break never been down and when u catch him flush he smiles at u that's a warrior
Froch is brilliant
Love froch. Always exciting, and so tough he could knock you out by chinning you in the fist! ...what a chin!
Froch was trying his hardest at the end
The speed yes, power, no way!
Hitting his glove and a few light body shots was not trying his best 🙄
Thought that was a dog making them noises at the start
I make the same noises on the toilet
Me in the sack
Froch tried to take him out near the end ...lol
scared reporter: "what do you do if there is a mismatch?" Froch: "take em out" , proceeds to beat up reporter.
Froch was trying to finish him at the end there.
That guy was just blessed to be in the ring with the Cobra
Carl Frotch is a very humble nice man
Humble? LOL.
“I’ve cut down a few trees in my time let me tell ya” ...... I wonder who?
Froch is one of the few boxers to have taken so many punches to the head and sound like he has taken none. Mentally sound.
At the end froch was set up perfectly for the over hand just like groves did I the 1st fight
WoW ! What a fab never forgotten experience that would be. Its like pro football, always looks easy from the sidelines or TV, But one of my all time fave fights was/is Carl v Groves (both) and the other Eubanks v calzaghe, watched both fights again last night, Just awesome
Would love for Carl to do some boxing vids for beginners videos lol
Froch would make a good trainer.
would have loved to see a kessler-froch 3rd fight
Respect doing that
He's a beast :)
He's not Alan partridge, he's Chris Finch
Is Carl from Nottingham???
Carl just keeps giving.
Nothing could be worse than listening to him talk
Froch the boxers boxer!!!
How serious is carl froch
Kinda funny seeing Froch teach technique when he never really had any lol... but he was always in shape and could take one hell of a shot!
*in front of 80,000 at Wembley stadium
Love the cobra,,,great vid,,,
The 1 dislike is from Groves haha.
Haha, I'm also a Groves fan but that was pretty funny :)
We have to state who we are fans of to laugh at something funny?
Froch is a credit to British boxing.
International superstar
With all due respect
I think that FROCH would be a good
Trainer.
He would have murked me.. But I would have slipped past the jab and twisted in my hardest possible right hook... Then woke up in hospital feature on ten o'clock news etc..
Manny Beckford I would have had a similar plan.....slipped his jab, stepped out of the ring and got the bus home!
5:10 The old guy from australia that was attacked by dogs: "they came bounding at me.. RAAARAARAARARA RA RARAA!!!"
Groves living in frochs head rent free
Froch t’ing off on him at the end 😂
Reporter was pretty decent on those pads
Why didn't u do that with Andre ward lol
Quality that. Got to love the Cobra
Always good to see articulate, intelligent fighters putting the lie to the idea that fighting is 'barbaric' and fighters simple thugs.
He was a good boxer but just a little adjustment in attitude and he be liked a lot more.
You can see the passion and props to that guy to even step in that ring! Bet he had bruising all over in the morning:-)
Great boxer froch was
Carl - “Just the jab now, one arm” Carl proceeds to hit him with jab, cross left hook 😂 Would to see a fly on the wall documentary on Carl “Life after boxing”
About three and a half minutes before he mentioned grove's
That journalist is better than Cm Punk.
Journalist isn’t 5’10. No chance.
Froch just had to mention Groves.... didn't mention Kessler though 🤔
Just hitting the pads a few times is knackering! Lol
I bet he couldn't get through that sparring session without mentioning that he fought in front of 70,000 people. 😁 🥊
⚘⚘⚘ Carl is a legend
Didnt take long to mention groves lol
I'm shocked that Mr. Froch didn't mention that he fought in Wembley infront of 80,000.
Fair play lad
When froch did the whole thing were he repeats knocking out groves I’m pretty certain he was playing a game that many sportsman were where they had to repeat a particular word or phrase as many times as possible Paul Sackey said the word buzzing about 50 times in 2 minutes live on telly after and England rugby match

Quite simply people would talk about him and he wouldnt have too.
Good job from the little man👍🏻
Also, Froch definitely tried to get him out of there 💯👌🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣
Froch didnt mention boxing in Wembley?? Wtf!
Guys Carl is my uncle 😂
Fair play to him
Yeah Mike Tyson’s my grandad.
I’m white.
What’s it like to spar Carl Froch? Not sure.
But Andre Ward knows what its like to take him to boxing school.
Add Andre Dirrell to that..beat him soundly although the records say otherwise.
I would love a go
A scouser from the Guardian - poor sod,. He can’t laugh at his own jokes and be “hilarious” because he’s not allowed to tell any in case they’re racist,sexist,homophobic, xenophobic, transphobic or even just funny, as jokes are are part of the oppressive patriarchy . He’s probably from Wirral, but the stereotype wouldn’t work as well 😏
You forgot islamaphobic seeing as thats a thing now lool
he's an idiot
Did you see Carl Froch on Ninja Warrior 😂
Bloody terrifying by the looks of it - I have always liked Frochy - I say this all the time but I saw a documentary once where he was training and went up some steps - it was like when Benn got punched through the ropes and caught his foot stepping back in - just a viciousness in those briefest of movements that made me feel bad because no way am i brave like their opponents - no way am i out there - are you crazy?
when i had Groves in the first fight....here we go)))))
Can I ask a few questions... yeah aslong as I can bash you up after! Don’t think he’ll be going back for another interview haha
Froch wtf was the end about pal
Would love to have a go sparring against someone like Froch, just for the insight, hell i'd be over the moon if he knocked me out lol
The shortest 5'10 I ever saw
I can see the problem I've got.. your would champion. Never a true word said
It's not about getting put down it's how you get back up.
This is where Fury may beat Wilder.Ortiz would of won that fight if he got up.
Lol guardian reporter that explains it.
Froch telling him it’s about hit and not getting hit.
Froch is known for his chin 🤷🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chill out froch supposed to be a light spar mate lol
Had one of the best chins in the business, without it there would have been more losses on his record
And without the robbery of Dirrell in Nottingham.
I'll spar froch!
Ward and dirrel. But he did beat groves in front of 80,000. Calzaghe your the man
Still no defence on the inside from froch 🤣
hit and dont get hit lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Lol that's rich from ward
What’s it like sparring with the International Superstar Carl Froch and falling on your own leg in front of 80,000 people at Wembley with Lee ‘The Alcoholic’ Froch screaming gibberish in your ear?
Only George Groves will ever know the answer to that.
