That tactic won't work against Johnson, Froch legs are not fast enough and Glen is much more active. He would have to go to Glen's body and hold him in a ugly fight. AA doesn't throw enough and doesn't counter but Johnson is a different story and also is comming in with a good chin. Can't wait for this fight

I didn't like Froch before.. I thought he was a big mouthed Brit with only power and a chin but if he continues to develop his skills as a boxer-puncher he is going to be a problem for a lot of his opponents. Especially is he starts throwing more combinations off the jab and becomes a better counterpuncher.

I am with you 100%. I also didn't like him at first, but I always like slick fighting styles. I just thought he had a big mouth, but he is definitely getting better and better. All of the fighters with high guards are being exposed now like Clottey, Winky, and Abraham. These fighters can't do anything with a slick style boxer or someone who stays behind the jab and boxes smartly. I think Abraham is going to lose to Andre Ward too. Its a wrap for that style... He's going to have 3 losses in a row. What a tournament.Comment

This is going to be a really good fight... I think Froch will win but Johnson will put some pressure on him.Comment

Glenn Johnson aint Abraham, Abraham was a statue just sitting there and taking shots Glen will get through that jab Tarver said it best when Glen was fighting green, he said what fighter do you know that has kept johnson at bay with the jab, no one has, light heavyweigths couldn't do it, Tarver, Jones, or Dawson I think this fight will be pretty much one sided in favor of Johnson with a possible late rd stoppage. Abraham is basically skilless no jab, no head movement, no combination punching he just walks ahead takes shots and waits for his opponent to get tired and hope for the lucky shot.
Johnson has walked through much harder punchers with better jabs than Froch, with better skills than Froch, this will be no different I think Johnson is going to take him places he has never been and punish him over the distance with a possible late rd stoppage, Johnson is as hungry at this age than he has ever been, and the way he disposed of a ready focused green should sound alarms for the rest of the super six, Johnson is going to beat Froch and Abraham on his way to facing Ward.Last edited by dray435; 11-29-2010, 11:41 AM.Comment
