CARL FROCH said it would have been “game over” for KSI or Logan Paul if he hit them with a “big dirty right hand” – and the ex-boxer faced typical stick from fans.
Brit YouTuber KSI beat internet rival Paul by split decision last weekend on their pro debuts, having drawn in an exhibition bout last year.

The social media battle was hit with criticism as the boxing newbies went from White Collar fighters to main-event pros in 12 months.
But retired former super-middleweight champion Froch claims the duo’s lack of experience meant they would not cause damage to each other in the ring.
And the YouTubers could rest easy – unless they faced a round with heavy-hitter Froch.
The Cobra said on his podcast: “Because they can’t punch properly, there’s less danger.
“If I’d jumped in with Logan/KSI, timed him with a big dirty right hand on the chin, full force, it would’ve been game over and could do some serious damage.”
Froch became an internet villain for constantly reminding fans of his knockout win against George Groves in 2014 in front of a packed out 80,000 at Wembley Stadium.
And the 42-year-old’s dig at YouTube stars KSI and Paul gained a similar reaction from supporters, who took the bait online.
One said: “But it wasn’t in front of 80,000.”
Another said: “Another of Carl Froch amazing statements.”
One attached a GIF of The Office character David Brent, with the words: “Ooh, you’re hard.”
