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

[Rome-By-Ko]

Yo Romey... you're my Bro and I respect your opinion.

You and I rarely disagree on fights but, depending on where the fight is (venue), I'm goin with Johnson on this one. If it's in Nottingham and it's a close fight, I expect the judges will not go in favor of Johnson though. It's possible that Carl, after coming off a dominating performance against Abraham, will think he can do the same thing against Glen that he did with Arthur - and that will be a big mistake on his part. Johnson won't stay in a shell like AA did, and he uses a lot of head movement coming forward which will make Froch miss a lot and make him look sloppy like he did against Kessler. The question is whether Glen can keep his stamina up in a lower weight division then he's used to fighting in and capitilize on Frochs mistakes. He seemed fine against Green and he had to lose a lot of weight in a short amount of time for that fight but, Green wasn't near as active as the newly re-crowned champ Froch will be.

Johnson should target Frochs body and zap the energy out of him, forcing him to stay inside and go toe-to-toe with him. When Froch gets lurred into brawling, his skills go out the window. Glen should be able to capatilize on that. At least I hope so, but ya never know.

It may be the ugly fight we thought the Froch/AA fight would be, but this won't be Johnsons first rodeo. Johnson won't be turtled up and not throw back like Abraham.

All I can hope for is a neutral venue, and that Carl Froch leaves his loud mouth girlfriend at home.

I see what ya saying,but Froch is a really good counter puncher and was a big reason I see him winning this fight..I love his girl she is hot(get him Carly!!!!LOL)not hard on the eyes ya dig..But I have big respect for Johnson and think we will see a great fight but no matter where this fight is I'm taking Froch..I just really like him and think so many people sleep on his skills in the ring..First things first is Johnson then bring billy goat Ward..

BTW:If anybody can disagree with me and make me listen it's ya Lori,you make to much sense at time for me not to listen lol...

Straight from Froch's mouth: “I looked up at the referee as he counted and I didn’t know how I’d got on the floor, so Taylor must have hurt me”

You seen the fight for ya self,did Froch look like he was ready to be KO'd??Have ya ever seen him in that position??If not then ya never seen him hurt..When I think of hurt I think of JMM vs Pac 1 the first rd JMM was hurt..Marga's in the 8th rd of the Marga's Mosley fight was hurt..Kat's vs Casamayor rd 1 Kat's was hurt..Ya dig??Hurt and buzzed are two different things..

You also think Mosley is a B fighter..Ya opinion is suspect..

[dray435]

And abraham needs to get another trainer if ever learns how work behind a jab and let his hands go he is going to be a dangerous fighter. I heard his own trainer called him a coward he needs to fire that guy like yesterday and get a real trainer like shields or roach, if he does that he can still be a factor in this tournament, just get rid of the guy masquerading as a trainer heck I could do better than that guy.

If johnson is not drained like last time he wins.

Its not suspect just common sense if you dont know how you got knocked down buddy you are hurt.

So what is a flash knockdown??Ya got caught don't mean ya was hurt..Means ya was stunned or buzzed but hurt means ya was almost outta there..

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.

finally, i completly agree. how can no one see how lackluster froch truly is??

AA is that bad to make froch look decent, but i rewatched the fight yest with the sound off and really saw the flaws in froch.

froch has terrible footwork, is uncoordinated and very slow and clumsy.

AA is just that bad, walking in linear holding his high gaurd up and then throwing lounging right hands with 40 secs left in each round.

frochs jab is not good, it was just enough to keep AA at reach and away,

frochs jab was not accurate or game changing.

Glen will walk through this skilless and uncoordinated fighter in froch


i see glen knocking him out in 8 rounds.

glen is relentless and is always moving forward with momentum.

froch does not possess the skill to keep him away.

[The Hammer]

Glen will not be as easy to keep at bay with the jab as Froch imagines.

This is a 50-50 pick 'em fight. Definitely one to look forward to!

I'll be rooting for The Road Warrior.
