Glen Johnson Q&A : I'll beat the living hell out of him.(Froch)

How did you get into boxing and what age did you start learning your trade? I went to a boxing gym in my neighborhood to lose weight at age 20. It was a free gym for kids from the area. The coach saw potential in me. I was a competitive type. When asked if I would fight, I said sure. Who did you look up to growing up in boxing who was your Idol? When I started boxing my idols were Muhammad Ali, Roy Jones, Jr., Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson. What fight taught you the most as a boxer? The Bernard Hopkins fight in 1997 was my best learning experience in boxing. What was your most embarrassing moment associated with boxing? I am always embarrassed when I lose. What would you say is your biggest win to date in the ring? My greatest victory was winning the IBF Light Heavyweight World Title when I beat Clinton Woods in England.

Glen looked pretty impressive against Green, but Froch ain't Green. Froch is a boxer that has a lot of movement and because of the defence that he has that consist more of footwork than anything else, he's able to keep his hands down, helping him to throw punches from all angles. Glen needs to be very careful because if he pressures Froch too much he may get tired and fighting tired against Froch is just suicide. Johnson has to be very smart in the ring, trying to cut off the ring to Froch and avoiding Froch's uppercut, which is very hard to see coming because of his fighting stance. My respect to Glen Johnson, but Froch wins by UD.

Johnson has my respect. The age wasn't a factor against Green but it will be against Froch. Both guys come to fight. I expect a really entertaining fight. Ward v Froch in the final is what will be good for boxing and the 168 division. If a 40 something year old beats Froch there will be some people who say that the 168 division is overrated and hyped.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
