Carl Froch fixes fights!!!!

Carl Froch has admitted prolonging fights so that family and friends can make money from bets made.

Today is British boxing's equivalent of the day after 9/11. So while I'm shocked at the story I'm not remotely surprised about the timing.

 

Great timing Carl to come out with something like that.

 

A good time to bury bad news as they say.

 

ouch.... I bet he hearing the Jaws music in his head now

 

Froch distancing from those previous comments, wise move Carl, lucky you are not a cricketer.

Don't see anything wrong with Froch predicting a round to try beat a fighter in. All boxers do it. Nothing to do with fixing fights.

 

Nothing wrong in that, but there is something wrong in telling your family/friends to bet on a round, having the ability to take out your opponent early but carry him so your family/friends to cash in on your bet.

Especially if Froch never made his prediction public and only told his family.

If you lost money on a Froch fight because of this, you are not going to be too happy.
