Carl Froch promises: I'll restore your faith (Daily Star)
Carl Froch is promising to "restore" the UK's faith in boxing. This whole Audley Harrison deal over there ... look, I don't want to say I really know what's going on with the common man and boxing fan in the UK, and the UK friends we have here on the site seem pretty level-headed, but the press about this is positively hilarious.

I don't see anything here, really. "I haven't watched boxing in a while," Pedroia helpfully notes. Oh! I thought this was going to be funny. It wasn't. So I'm sharing my disappointment with you. At least nobody's asked David Eckstein.
