TommyLeeWannabe Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Le combat de demi-finale du tournoi Super 6 entre Carl Froch et Glen Johnson pourrait être présenté au Centre Bell au mois de mai. Jean Bédard m’a confirmé en entrevue téléphonique qu’il a eu de sérieuses discussions avec le réseau SHOWTIME à cet effet. Au départ, Bédard voulait insérer ce combat dans le gala du 19 mars qui met en vedette Lucian Bute et Brian Magee. Mais il semble que Froch a du retarder sa préparation en raison d’une maladie qui l’a contraint au repos pendant le temps des fêtes. Le projet est donc tombé à l’eau pour cette date mais Bédard est revenu à la charge pour un gala au mois de mai. INTERBOX présenterait également en demi-finale un important combat entre Adrian Diaconu et Chris Henry. Monsieur Bédard précise que les demi-finales du tournoi des 168 livres doivent se dérouler en terrain neutre. Avec les bonnes foules qui assistent aux combats présentés au Québec, on peut croire aux chances de Montréal d’obtenir ce combat. Source : rds.ca == Interbox president Jean Bédard is having discussions to bring Carl Froch VS Glenn Johnson in Montreal. Originally, Bédard wanted Froch/Johnson on the card as Bute/Magee in march but Froch was sick during Holidays, so his preparation was reported. Bedard offers a card in may at Bell Centre with Froch/Johnosn as main-event and Adrian Diaconu VS Chris Henry for a chance to fight for WBC title.

RAZZ-MCFC Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 how nice would a double header be? Froch-Johnson and Hopkins-Pascal EDIT: actually sack that, just thought about this comment Hopkins-Pascal needs to be neutral venue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
