Froch vs Johnson: Thoughts

How do you see this fight shaping up?

 

I think this will be the best fight of the entire super 6. Both of these guys come to fight and love to go forward and be aggressive. How can this fight not be great?

Really looking forward to this one.

 

It'll be great for sure. I think Johnson will have quite abit of success throughout the fight, but Froch will land more and his jab is key in controlling things.

 

I can't remember anyone ever pressuring Froch like Johnson will look to. It'll be interesting to see how he responds to that, I fancy we might find him shipping allot of shots, right hands especially.

On top of that, can Froch fight inside, at all? Could be more interesting than envisioned, this one. I'll have to watch some footage to come up with a pick, but Im looking forward to it.

If Johnson can get Froch moving backwards it'll be a real war.

 

I like Johnson in this one.

 

I like Froch in this one. I think Glen will have some success early, but Froch's the younger guy and has the better power here. I think Glen shows his age and Froch wins going away.

Glen will put up a good fight but I don't see him outworking or hurting Froch.

Clear UD for Froch.

 

Agree with Musze.

Glen is a very good fighter (even today's version) and he'll put up a fight, but I'd be pretty surprised if he won.

 

johnson fighting another tough, good but not great of a fighter. i expect typical close johnson fight where it's good enought to be a W or a draw, but froch getting the decision. i cant believe the judges had a. green beating johnson on the cards prior to the stoppage. this guy can't catch a break it seems like.

 

The way I see it as well.

Should prove to be a very good fight, though a shame that it will most likely fly way under the radar.

 

You have to be fucking kidding me??

That is literally insane.

Glen was giving him a beating, the fight wasn't even competitive :scratcher:

 

yea. not sure what it is, but judges seem to hate johnson and his workrate. i guess if he's ever gotten a gift, it was that one time vs. tarver, but i thought he actually won.

 

Is Johnson on Ped's???

 

Nah. Doesn't seem the type to me

 

Froch is a funny dude. Just got back from the open workout.

 

i heard you're gonna be in AC this weekend. i'll see you there.

 

Froch 8-4

 

I see it froch 8-4 too, possibly 9-3.

 

Froch should win but this will be a great fight: I'm having a few beers and a few mates around to watch what I expect to be a war.

MTF :fightme:

 

I hope Froch wins.

Imagine.....Clinton Woods beat this guy already, as did Sven Ottke, and Bernard.

If Froch loses, I suspect he will commit sippuku.

 

Looking forward to it as well but it seems like another one of those fights that's 95% sure to go the distance. Of course a fight doesn't need to end in a knockout to be exciting, but when the likelihood of it happening is so slim it takes away from the anticipation a bit. (for me anyway)

 

Like somebody said in this fight Jhonson will show his age. I think Froch will be too much for Jhonson.

I've been watching Froch alot lately and he is alot better than I thought. He is a weird and funny guy too.

I think Jhonson will have his moments but Froch will just be too much for him.

 

The Cobra out-points Old man Johnson by a close margin

 

The chances of this being a let down are really tiny. Some injury related stoppage seems like the only way this can't be good.

 

Come on Froch, ive followed you for a long time, dont let me down now :) froch ud

 

WAR JOHNSON!!!!

I can never root against Glen Johnson, it just wouldn't be right. He is all that is good about boxing.

 

but so is Carl Froch, both are a credit to the sport

 

I guess I am in the minority. I have never found Johnson's style to be very appealing to the eye. Sure he always comes forward, but in a smothering slapping/pushing kind of way and with little knockout power.

 

Agreed! I like Froch as well, but I've been a Glen Johnson fan much longer so I have to go with that.

 

I really like both guys and this should be a hell of a fight. I'm definitely eagerly awaiting this fight. Hopefully it's not a Mosely-Pac type of letdown, that'd kill my spirit for boxing for quite a bit.
