Press release: British super middleweight champion Carl Froch has landed in Los Angeles with promoter Mick Hennessy and trainer Robert McCracken on Tuesday, nine days prior to his American debut, April 21, 2005 when he appears on HBO Latino show from the Avalon in Hollywood. The 27-year-old from Nottingham will contest a ten rounder against the Henry Porras from Costa Rica.“This is my big opportunity to show America exactly what I am all about,” said ‘The Cobra’. “I am already feared by the fighters on my side of the pond – Calzaghe and Magee have both ignored challenges. Robin Reid has also ducked me. I see now that he has chosen to step in against IBF champion Jeff Lacy - but even then it appears he had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the table.  Lacy won’t have to come looking for me. I am already in his backyard and after I have done a job on Porras I will be in his face constantly.”
