I really don't see Johnson beating Froch. Johnson's pressure couldn't beat Dawson but Pascal's pressure could beat Dawson and as we'e seen Froch handled Pascal's pressure pretty well.

They key to this fight will be whether Johnson can get his inside game off that'll be the decider here.

i don't think johnson wins this but i will b rooting 4 him!!

[Mr. Philadel]

with Glen being a graduate from the B.Hop "School Of Victims" lol... I will be pulling for him...but Froch is a ****in monster...a certified beast in my book...I expect fireworks and a FOTY type of scrap

[sdcluser]

I think Johnson will give him a hard time when he gets in there. Froch might need to clinch often something which he has not done often.

yep
but he's gonna get worked in the inside if he tries that, and johnson definitely has the advantage there, his best chance is to employ the abraham strategy with plenty of hooks

it will get real tough in the later rounds

[SN!PER]

Johnson needs to be very careful about Froch's uppercuts, and be patient and disciplined throughout the fight, because it's gonna be a long battle.

[Uturn]

Froch will box him to a UD. 116-112. Glen has a chance but I feel he needs the knockout, and Froch has a solid chin therefore Glen has it all to do.

This resonse in particular made me laugh:



How much longer do you plan on fighting and what will you do when your boxing career ends?


I will keep fighting professionally as long as I can still win. When my boxing career is finished I intend to have more sex.

Good to hear Johnson pay respect to Bhop.

Think its gonna be a tough night for Froch.
