Gus Johnson is one of the very few objective announcers out there.
What's with the Pardon Jack Johnson message in the middle of the ring? Chrissakes.

According to the Jewish definition of a Jew, Froch is not one. His Jewish ancestry is on his father's side, while his mother is an English gentile. They have a belief that "Jewishness" must be passed on by the maternal bloodline.
But I noticed Al Bernstein was not discrediting and being negative about him last night, like he normally would to a white boxer!

Blue Devils said:Is there any truth to Froch being Jewish? I heard that on a boxing forum by some Froch hater but I've never heard it from Froch. Can somebody provide a link or proof. Not that it matters.
The Froch surname sounded very central European to me. I looked it up and it's English. His family probably chose an Anglo name like most Jews do these days.
