Comments Thread For: Carl Froch: "Glen Johnson Will Not Get Past My Jab"

[dray435]

All the above. Glen fights nothing like AA. AA keeps his guard up high for the first half of the fight, waiting for his opponents to tire - and then he starts to engage, using his power to overwhelm. Froch never tired against AA because he never needed to engage in all out exchanges. With AA's style, all he needed to do was stay consistant with his jab because AA is a defensive fighter. It was easier for Froch to stick to his game plan since he was able to keep AA in defense mode. I'm not taking anything away from Carl though. Because he stuck to his jab, he was never in any danger of having to go toe to toe with AA. He knew that whenever he threw something that AA would put his guard up and block, rather than counter punch. But, Johnson is the type of fighter that tires HIS opponents out, never stops coming, and he has a solid chin. He'll take 3 shots to deliver 1. Johnson is also relentless at targeting the body, even in the later rounds when most fighters tend to forget about the body and go head hunting. Froch himself has a pretty solid chin, so the body will be the key for Johnson in their fight. Johnson will be a much more aggresive fighter and will be 10 times more of a dangerous fight for Froch then AA was ever thought to be. As Froch himself said, Dirrell showed the best way to beat Abraham... and that was by activity.

Froch looked great against AA, but if he expects that the same game plan will work against Glen he needs to have his Plan B ready. Glen is not going to stand there in a defensive shell all night not throwing back. Like I said, Glen will take 3 or 4 punches from his opponent just to land 1, and still keep coming.

If all else fails for Froch he can bring in his new "by any means neccessary" plan - Have his girlfriend scream at the top of her lungs for the entire 12 rounds again. Her voice is already annonying, and she brought it up a couple of decimeters... That's enough to confuse any man, and distract them in to wanting to choke the **** out of someone other then their opponent.

He needs to be a man and take control of his women I would tell her to be silent as a mouse when I'm fighting, that is just a complete distraction especially when she does not know anything about boxing.

In case you didn't know flush means on the point of the chin not on the top of the head or on the jaw, or on the ear, a flush shot is right on the point of the chin, when Glen caught Roy on the point of the chin he went to sleep, Roy was pretty much rolling with and blocking the other shots with his high guard or catching them in areas that don't produce the same result.

lol, you must have some double vision or some ****
i coulda sworn the shot johnson ko'd roy with was a temple/back of the ear shot, kinda like the punch green put roy down with

and why dont you try watching the video i posted?

Froch ain't getting knocked out, he's got a granite chin. He's in for a tough night with the road warrior though.

Glen Johnson eats jabs, so that would be one commanding jabbing display.

Use the jab by all means, but there had better be more to the gameplan.

They need to treat Johnson with as much respect as they did Abraham, devise a strategy and prepare hard to execute it...otherwise, Johnson has a strong shot to derail the Ward-Froch Super Six Finale.

This gets said too much. Good/very good chins get overrated into great ones.


Johnson can hurt Froch, if he's hitting him often.

I personally believe they talked about it before the fight and he knew full well she was going to do that. He probably believed that hearing her voice would help him concentrate on what he was fighting for (his family). Plus, anyone who is not already used to her incredibly annoying high pitched gargle would be extremely distracted and put off by her non-stop relentless banter. It certainly worked on the commentators. I can just imagine what was going through AA's mind.

Frochs chin is over rated he does not have a granite chin he just keeps it tucked very well, the last person who caught him on it flush was Jermaine Taylor and he hit the canvas, if Johnson catches him flush he is going down and if Johnson catches him repeatedly he is going to sleep.
