Mack surprisingly has a decent chin, but his stamina are where his issues fall, and coming down to 168 certainly can't help matters given the fact Mack moved up to 175 because 168 was badly draining him. If Mack somehow doesn't struggle with the weight, and is in good shape, don't be surprised if hew makes this interesting for a few rounds, against Cloud some people had Mack ahead before he got caught with that left hook. Frochy does have to be careful of Mack's awkward looping overhand right, though. And his left hook. Mack dropped Librado Andrade hard with a left hook, and that was right after Kessler hit Andrade with everything he had and couldn't even faze Andrade, so Mack does have sneaky power.
After an awkward first 4 or 5 rounds where Froch is struggling to find his range, I expect to see him turn it up a notch in rounds 6 and 7, and by the 9th or 10th round, Froch should force a stoppage, and Mack will eek out a couple of rounds, but Carl will be leading on most peoples scorecards 77-75. I expect it to be surprisingly fun to watch for a few rounds as well.
