I've got Froch.
He has chin, can make it physical, and can fight dirty.
Plus he has heart.
I just don't think Carl Froch has the stomach to let Hopkins beat him.
If Froch's chin can take hard shots once or twice per round, I've got him by UD.
it's all about styles. while froch did well against pacal I don't see how he could do good against bhop. unless bhop is completely shot by that point.
I figured out you dont like Froch that much.
BTW WTF is that border around your virtual alter ego youre cursed with.
is it an error cuz you played too much with your usertitle. :?!:
Froch has poor accuracy. I cant see him landing with enough regularity against someone like Hopkins who will just fool him for the entire fight.
It will be like Pavlik vs Hopkins but without Hopkins showboating.
I'm picking bhop to beat pascal, not stop him. If he has anything left in the tank he should no problem. A 50% bhop beats pascal. 35% bhop beats froch.
but Froch whos really underrated beat Pascal already....:thumbsdow
hope youre right. thats one of these fights where I want the veteran to beat the new light in boxing.
Pascals performances against bad chad was great, he really deserves all the praise, but Hopkins is such a legend man I was even thankfull for his freak show against Roy(who I think won the later rounds by giving him hell in the inside).
How do you see this going?
:boxing::boxing::boxing:
Honestly....again even at this late stage i see Bhop winning for the same reason i see Glen being competitive against Froch and that's because i'm not convinced Froch can fight inside and Bhop knows how to spoil a fighter in there.
i think hopkins beats the hairpiece and piss out of froch, he's too open and too defensively flawed, IMHO, for hopkins.
it would be a good scrap though.
froch tries to box hopkins, but hopkins' is too elusive even for a senior citizen. froch lands a bunch of glancing blows but never anything clean. hopkins hits froch with clean potshots but is getting outworked. it's a close fight depending on if you like quantity or quality.
froch gets pissed with hopkins fighting negative, and he goes back to his old style of brawling. the fight turns ugly as both are good at fighting dirty. rabbit punches, hold-n-hit galore. hopkins is better at it, but froch is more youthful and gives and takes as good as he gets, and he's got the heavier hands. fight goes to decision.
and your winner is..........
froch gets the nod in nottingham! hopkins claims robbery and doesn't retire.
Very intretsing matchup, bhop is known for being able to take away his opponenets jab with ease, froch would have to establish his jab in this fight if he wanted to win a decision. The most likely outcome in my view would be Bhop by 115-113, a close enough fight but bhop does enough to get the decision.
B-Hop takes away Froch's jab and makes it boring, and wins a close decision countering an increasingly wild Froch who insists on throwing uppercuts from the outside.
Froch takes some of the later rounds but is never likely to land anything big, swinging from the outside.
I don't want to see this fight. It frustrates me just thinking about it.
