Seriously, one of these days he's gonna get caught while he's in the middle of doing the James Brown splits and he's gonna go down, possibly for 10...At one point I thought Froch was going t do it, but he was too focused on brawling instead of boxing.
Its pretty obvious that his weakness is pressure. Earlier I picked him to humiliate Andre Ward when they fight because style wise it should be an easy fight, but now that I've seen how poor he does against pressure and how his footwork can be dismantled by it, I'd probably pick Andre Ward to win now. I saw several occassions in the fight tonight where he was on the verge of going down but held on for dear life. He probably could have lasted the distance, but if it did go to the score cards I would not have been very impressed at all.
