Fight Camp 360: Inside The Super Six World Boxing Classic – Episode 6

Published by GG under Boxing,Fight Camp 360,TV Shows

The latest episode of Fight Camp 360 starts with the promoters arguing yet again and cracking on each other. You can tell they’re yapping it up for the camera a bit, but also, I imagine they do take shots at each other.

The focus goes to the lead-up to what became the best fight in the Super Six, Carl Froch vs. Mikkel Kessler.

Carl Froch’s father and brother are both a part of Team Froch. Carl says his dad was who introduced him to the sport. His dad was ripped as a young man. Both camps joked that the other was scared.

Kessler said he released his coach because they didn’t have a plan B versus Andre Ward. He was frustrated, but his coach shouldn’t have been frustrated and should’ve told him what to do.

Wow, Kessler’s sister looked like a drag queen.

There’s a spot in the fight where Froch tells his corner that he feels tired. Before the 11th round, Kessler’s corner told him that he was behind. But Froch’s promoter tells his girlfriend that he gave away a few rounds early and it’s close.

Both sides thought they won the fight, but Froch thought the judges would take the title off him before the scores were read. Froch’s corner told him that if he was busier, he’d have won the fight. Froch tells his girlfriend that he didn’t have the extra drive to get him out of there.

At the press conference, Froch says that he wasn’t at his best and that Kessler was. He also says that if they make him fight Arthur Abraham in Germany, he’s pulling out of the tournament.

The doctor didn’t give Froch any anesthetic for the small stitches over his left eye and he said it was like Rambo.

Andre Ward says he enjoys broadcasting and so his smile looks better on TV, he says he’s getting his teeth fixed. He did a spot on ESPN 2 with Brian Kenny.

Allan Green is a comic book fan. Who knew? Allan Green says he’s avoided because of his style, and that’s why he hasn’t received a title shot until now. Green says Kessler couldn’t understand Ward’s jive, but he can because he speaks it very well.

They fight this weekend and we’ll have a recap Saturday night.

Fight Camp 360: Inside The Super Six World Boxing Classic – Episode 5

Published by GG under Boxing,Fight Camp 360,TV Shows

The show starts like a movie. Allan Green looks astonished. The picture gets blurry. And Andre Dirrell starts talking about how he thought he got dropped. Brilliant opening.

Days before the fight, Arthur Abraham says he’s been living in a hotel for five months. They show Abraham and Dirrell at the Red Wings game being announced in front of the crowd. They’re fighting at the same venue two days later.

At the weigh-in, Dirrell looks decidedly taller and even a bit bigger. I noticed that at the fight and the difference surprised me.

The way they put the fight together was a mix of live footage and movie-like slow motion footage. It looked like a Rocky montage and made the fight way more interesting than it really was. Kudos to Showtime. It’s really good stuff.

Gary Shaw is a character and a half. And they’re showing him unrestrained.

The chaos at the end of the fight is cinematic. They show Dirrell crying because he’s out on his feet. He didn’t know that he won the fight, even as he went into his dressing room. He was calling for a rematch even though he won.

Abraham’s corner man told him that he gave away six or seven rounds. Abraham wondered what the point difference was when he got disqualified.

Andre went to the hospital and he admitted that he’s still confused and didn’t like winning like that. It seems that he thinks he was losing on points when he won or something.

There’s a money rematch waiting for these guys if they get matched up again. The promoters just made the same point that I did about how they could rematch.

The rest of the episode is about Mikkel Kessler and Carl Froch. Kessler says that his confidence was tested and he was fighting Andre Ward’s fight and not his.

Froch made a great point. He says that it’s hard to become champion, but harder to keep it. You have to train harder. But you’re getting older and it becomes even harder.

Fight Camp 360: Inside The Super Six World Boxing Classic – Episode 4

Published by GG under Boxing,Fight Camp 360,TV Shows

The show starts with Jermain Taylor working out, talking about his comeback and how he’s upset about having to pull out of the Super Six after losing to Arthur Abraham in vicious fashion.

Arthur Abraham lives with his mother. He says he wants a big career in America.

Andre Dirrell goes home to show where his house used to stand and he says it hurts because he can’t show his kids where he lived as a child.

They show Andre’s grandmother, brother, and fiance and they talk about him. His grandmother can’t watch him fight. His brother says it’s like him fighting in there. And his fiance cries every time he fights. He says he’s been away for probably half his own kids’ lives because of all the training, but they know that when he’s home, he’s home.

They show Taylor with his family and with his kids, which is just an awesome scene. He says boxing is inside of him.

He says he didn’t feel as strong as usual. He says he was crushed when he lost because it was in the last round again. He says he misses boxing a lot. He’s a fighter. It’s who he is.

The promoters are together trying to figure out who is going to replace Taylor. Lou DiBella says it should be an American fighter. Gary Shaw is upset when Abraham’s promoter asked for a 10X10 ring.

Allan Green is chosen as the replacement. He says he shouldn’t have been left out of the tournament anyway. He says it was politics and he’s the hardest puncher in the tournament. Green says when he wins, he’s going to moon the camera so everyone can kiss his ass. Who is he, Larry Holmes?

Abraham says that Taylor has everything and that boxing is business and it was a tough knockout. He wants to have a big party in LA after he wins.

Dirrell and his crew are watching the Taylor/Abraham fight and Dirrell says that Abraham takes breathers and that’s when you have to get him.
