    Johnson looked really good against Green, but i think Froch will be too much.

    Yeah, I'm going with Froch here. Johnson is way past it... Green is so so so so so bad.

    Yeah well that's why I think Glen puts up a decent fight.

    It could be a red herring though, as Green didn't exactly put up much resistance did he? Just ambled around the ring taking a beating.

    I like froch's confidence saying he's gonna win every round. 12 round battle due up.

    Not really pushed. Never a fan of Froch, and have actively rooted against him in at least 3 fights I can recall right now {Kessler, Magee and Abraham}. Super 6 has fallen out of favour with me, all things considered, its been conducted shabbily over too long a period of time. I might watch this if I can get a stream.

    Froch said he was in hospital earlier having some wax taken out of his ear which had been pushed in. So he has shitty hygiene and no defense.

    Not sure I should wait up too much longer for this......Johnson is a decent sort, Froch deserves a lot of credit, but is a whiny moany fuck.

    So why then, frankly speaking, do the US media insist on fobbing us off with the most incongruous and unlikely explanations for the turn-around in his career

    I mean......is there no limit to the nonsense???

    Yeah, Froch seems like kind of a douche... But credit where it's due. I'd actually kinda like to see him win so the finals is legit. Ward/Johnson, to me, would just be Ward/Johnson. Ward/Froch would he the finals of the Super Six.

    Ward vs Froch is the best we can hope for.

    How many title shots has Glen Johnson had??

    Steve, this is not some obscure hack in an obscure magazine.

    Its major networks and broadcasters.

    Boxing is setting itself up for a major fall.

    Its like boxing is borrowing $ and $ of credit from the public, which it is going to default on down the road.

    Glen Johnson is now 42 and is still going and sharp as a razor??

    That bird don't fly.

    He lost to Ottke for the 168lb title years and years ago. Bernard beat him up before that.

    I'm not so sure he would be a "fitting" Super-6 champion, but he would be a deserving one.

    McGuigan breaking the fight down now. Says Froch must hold center ring and not go to the ropes.

    Can't wait. For some reason, maybe age, Johnson is one of my favorites.

    This should be an interesting style matchup. Johnson is a guy that loves to make you do his thing and fight his way. It will be fun to see how Froch handles that.
