Bloody hell Carl, the whole point of getting a guest on is to let them speak!
Ikr i like carl but this was frustrating to watch he kept butting in
@john oliver he does it every time. These could be excellent if he simply took a step back and let the guest speak.
@@userJ1J123 i know he does and your right this could excellent thats what frustrating about it
Really wanted to hear more about Rob's career a real missed opportunity
Not on Carl Frochs channel lol we know what to expect
Carl asks you the questions and then answers them for you 😂
He’s a generous guy. If he can answer his own question so you don’t have to, he will. Selfless.
I can't wait to see who Carl interviews next to talk about himself. His mum? Brother?
He loves blowing smoke u his own arse lol!!!
Let your guests speak.your a legend mate. Ask a question and shut up 😅
I do agree be Carl gets half a pass on this one for bursting in because it's not just a normal guest it's his trainer and they are talking about his career and his head must be going 100mph thinking about the nights they had and things that happened.
McCracken
Total fights 35
Wins 33
Wins by KO 21
Losses 2
class 🙌
Brilliant AJ 😂😂 he sucks 35 cabbies to his resume
He lost to Howard Eastman, and Eastman was beaten by Bernard Hopkins. Rob is a class act.
@@michaelrb9837 Sucks?
American lingo...
Mr.👑... We all know the reason you dont like these type of people
@@michaelrb9837reckon you've sucked more, you illiterate bell end..
@@Jimmy-2-Times I’m not American ye fool 🤣🥴
I love how honest Rob McCracken is even when discussing Carl's losses just calls it how he saw it. Great stuff.
Rob Mcracken comes across as very genuine and humble - I've never seen him do a proper interview on CZcams and it's nice to see the respect Carl has for him.
They're mates.
@@interabangobviously they’re mates 👍🏻
Froch cracks me up - the little digs kill me. But quite touching how much he clearly respects Rob.
Brilliant! McCracken may not be the most animated raconteur, but he’s thoughtful and honest. He gives Ward the respect he deserves and Froch himself. The more I hear about Froch’s career, the more I respect him. He had more successive tough fights than many and always seemed to need to prove himself, especially after losses to Kessler and Ward, and ironically win over Groves! Fascinating that McCracken thinks Foster stopped Groves’ fight fractionally too early. Love or hate him, you can’t deny Froch was a true fighting man.
Haven't watched a minute yet but know this will be awesome
Great episode. Such a lovely Bloke Rob, underrated fighter
I like the way Rob doesn’t get drawn into slagging people off 😂 I’ve warmed to Carl, especially since his reunion with groves, but I always get the feeling he steers these things to get people to say how great he is or to agree with his point 😂 strangely endearing in a way
I honestly really like Carl, but his modesty is what impresses me the most 😂
Me too 😂😂😂
Froch has your brother done a pod, just heard you say he’s 8years under his belt now, always good to listen to people who have that type of experience, respect to you and your brother.
i grew up working for one of robs brothers(spencer) and their dad and went to watch carl box a few times in nottingham. working there made me fall in love with boxing and i was really happy to see rob go and do great things as a coach. great boxer too. the whole family are blues mad and theyre a very well known and resepected family in birmingham. im happy carls made a podcast and i really enjoyed the groves ones and this one too.
This interview gives us great insight to the chemistry. It shows that Carl is grateful and we can see how it is in training where Rob is probably the only person who knows how to deal with Carl on every front.
Both are a credit to boxing.
Both humble.
What you see is what you get
Teacher and student can see the respect Carl has for Rob he admires him
What a treat that was ! As a fan it was a pleasure to watch your career together.
Great nights top fights !
thank you sincerely 👏🏻🙏🏼🥊
Massive respect to Carl and Rob who got the really was the right trainer for Carl
Loved this interview. Two lovely fellas, thanks for the memories.
Really enjoyed listening to both of you reminisce over your career thank you.
Awesome interview. Great to see. I think Carl was told not to mention AJ tho
100%. They threw some shade at him though indirectly where they talk about changing trainers when you lose
Enjoyed Carl interviewing Carl. Rob McCracken: a Gentleman amongst boxers.
Loved that ! You can see how much Carl still wants the accolade and to impress his mentor…lovely stuff! And he fought EVERYONE!! 👊🏻
Fantastic career by the way, Carl really fought them all and earned his right to be considered a super middleweight all time great and British all time great.
It was fantastic to hear the two of you talk about the past and how it all began.
Carl Froch is what got me into boxing, the first fight with Groves got me tuned in!
Really enjoying these vlogs mate.. Thanks
Very enjoyable! Well in lads.
Great to see you & Rob back together! Great episode 👌🏼
Beautiful, thanks
Watched the fight live and it was a game changer..!! Heart of a lion
Really enjoyable watch!
Really good to hear these two reminisce over their time together was really enjoyable, you can see how much Carl love Rob and repects him
I could watch this kind of stuff all night. Boxing insights.
Great stuff Carl, loving the content
Brilliant interview carl 👏 cheers pal
Really enjoyed this. Both top guys. Good to capture some of Rob’s personality too, think many people are surprised to hear he’s a great laugh. Easy to see from this how they made such a formidable partnership.
Love the way how a single comment from McCracken checks Froch's ego every time LOL. Great chemistry between the pair!
Brilliant to see them both together ❤ got to love Carl & how much respect he's got for Rob. He's taking him with him to get inducted into the boxing hall of fame. Brilliant
Great interview
Great interview guys ,Carl was tough as nails
Nice one enjoyed that 👍
Enjoyed that karl I've always admired Rob as a boxing coach and whenever I've heard him in interviews he comes across as a genuine humble fella. 👍
I Love the videos Carl, keep them coming!
When you were training for Groves for the 2nd time, I came to watch you train in Sheffield. Rob had invited my mate Vince to come up and I joined. You were a little cautious seeing two new people watching, I think you thought we were spies from the Groves camp! Anyway it was great to meet you and good to see that you still carry your confidence and humour!
Lets see if John Fury takes you up on your latest suggestion :)
Really enjoyed the insight and listening to Rob who I’ve not seen in many interviews
Loved it classic story's
At last!!! Thank you, Carl. And thank you Rob for getting everything Carl had to give in the ring. Great team. You made him believe how great he could be, Rob. Of all the things you could ask of a trainer or coach in sports of any kind, that's the toughest thing to do, in my very humble opinion.
world class the pair of you.💯
Great podcast Carl .. keep it up champ!
What a great interview , get David walker and Matthew thirwell on . 2 great fighters who will remember your brilliant fights and spars and training sessions. I remember coming to watch you box as a kid I was. I was a walker fan , and watched you froch along the way. Get walker on what a great fighter .
Great chat
welcome to Froch on fighting.....let's talk about me .......
absolutely love Froch, and these podcasts are brilliant....
What did you think of Froch, Froch asked whimsically before Froch interjected philosophically. Anyway enough about me said Froch, what did you think of Froch, Froch mused. Froch did this, do you remember that, cos Froch remembered.
😂😂😂 tbf its Froch's channel. You know what you're getting
I agree 80,000% with this comment
@@Thetache I agreed with this at Wembley!
Rob McCracken , a credit to his sport, as a world class boxer ( watch his fight with Ensley Bingham, a classic) also as a world class trainer. Was fortunate to meet him ( Finchley boxing club) very knowledgeable and down to earth chap.btw boxing is in his blood, one of his relatives fought Jack Dempsey ( Tommy Gibbons) I think it was in 1923, ( a good read is a boxing book highlighting the fight, " Shelby folly")
If only AJ had the same respect for McCracken as froch did. Instead of having all the hangers on beside him spouting in his ear. Froch just had his brothers and his best pal who always had his best interests at heart. Can’t say the same for AJs team
Carl mate, who’s interviewing who? 🤣
Great to see you two back and reminiscing
Carl this is awesome but you gotta let the man talk more 😅
Cry
@@michaelrb9837 ?
McCraken/Froch Thank You For Everything!
Froch can chat aye 😂👍🏻🥊 Loving the channel mate
Top stuff gents 👍🏼
Carls face when rob said Foster stepped in early 😂
Great interview...Carl asks a question....Carl answers the question.....Mr McCracken goes with the flow and tells it as it is....brilliant !!! C'mon Carl, get JC on ;0)
Huge fan carl love the froch on fighting , keep it going! Bit of constructive criticism let the guests talk without being interrupted. But keep being out spoken and honest !
I would have liked to have seen Carl ask Rob what his thoughts on the AJ situation are, and what he felt about AJ leaving him.
Rob is a gentleman
Fabulous interview, haha Lee Meager blagging work to get to Thailand.
Carl, could you ask Danny Christie to come on as a guest? He’s the British BKFC light heavyweight champion with a great back story. Thank you!
P.S. I was there in Herning!
Excellent work Carl you managed to interview yourself for an hour 😉
Nonsense
🤣🤣🤣 can’t get a word in past carl can ya ..
Legend Carl Froch !
Says it how it is always and was a proper warrior fought EVERYONE who was anyone in his weight division! 🐐
Great work from Froch here, came out fighting
Loved that great listen.
Intro- ‘what I want to talk about today is my career’, classic froch
So this was Carl talking a lot to get Rob to agree on how amazing "the Cobra" was and also justify every bloody excuse for losing?
Well done Carl you’ve done us proud 🤛
Big fan of Froch, but I would have liked a bit more focus towards the end on McCracken's work with other fighters and AJ.
“Great to have you on rob, I wanna talk about my career”
Fs froch 😂😂
Brilliant boxing coach!
Can see Carl's respect for Rob a mile off.
top viewing, yeah thanks for that.
Is the interview part going to be uploaded next?
Got to get the Joe Calzaghe one done. Be epic. A lot of respect for Carl. Think it’ll be a good craic and a handshake at the end.
Not sure, who was being interviewed??? But Robert McCraken is a legend in the sport & extremely humble & I will be chuffed for them when they go to the 🥊🥊🥊Boxing hall of fame.... They deserve it 👍
No one was interviewed in this one it was a mutual discussion due to the fact they are discussing topics they both were actively involved in.
I'm liking it Carl ,but you need a bell to ring like the end of a round when you let them answer 🥊
You know what. Rob is a really nice man very good man to have in your corner Carl u were very lucky to stumble on each other..one live and fair play on a seller career ... ...
Your a legend 👏 but I would love you to speak about other boxers,your knowledge on boxing is brilliant.
Was really looking forward to hearing Rob McCracken talk.... maybe next time ey?
Whats really odd about jermain taylor is after that fight with froch...where he lost in rnd 12 with just a few seconds to go..he fought arthur abraham next and lost exactly the same ...ko'd in round 12 just 8 seconds slower than froch did him🤔
Top man Robbie 💯
The 80, 0000 still comedy Gold
Rob is such nice guy and obviously had you best interest at heart.
Think AJ won the title with him and should have stuck with him , we haven’t seen anything really different about under other trainers
Great interview! Listening to Rob, and your experience with him as a good exiting fighter like yourself..
It Really proves ALL THOSE AJ B/S IDIOTS WRONG back in the days when AJ GOT BEAT and Rob was his trainer ect.
Rob really knows his sport and really knows his fighter's..
Ultimately This is important..
as fighter's now day's blame the trainer ect.
Of course their are some trainer's that use the wrong tactics. like JOE JOYCE'S Trainer LOL.
Great video.
I luv your banter when you are on your and mostly agree with most of what you say. Your a good boxing analyst and not afraid to air your and also take the piss but let Rob speak plz
I need to proof read😂
Absolutely classic moment in this when Carl tries to have some banter about how many people were at Wembley and Rob is so dry that Carl doesn't know if Robs joking or if Rob actually doesn't know how many were there, I'm still not sure if Rob knew the figure. Carls banter tone changes as he realises Rob actually might not know.
Did you use loaded gloves against Bute? You didn't take them off until back in the dressing room? Just asking for a friend...
😂😂 I love this channel but blimey Carl let your guests get a word in from time to time! 😂😂
Tell us more about the conversation with sugar ray in the dressing room before the Bute fight.
0:30 “ you know what I wanna do today, I just wanna talk about my career…”
Gotta love The Cobra
I wonder who Carl’s favouring in the okolie vs billam-smith fight.
Carl is a legend but he don’t let rob get a word in edge ways 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jesus
First fight I saw of froch was the Taylor fight on a Sunday afternoon. Was a new boxing fan, 16 years old. Was a huge fan of carls ever since, even though he’s a prick haha. Proper fighter, hard, fit and determined. Favourite British fighter
