    Though I hope Glen is in tip top shape this will really be one hell of a chess match ..Looking forward to see the fireworks in this one ..

    Froch on points boxing smart again but Johnson is more dynamic and resourceful than Abraham so I think it'll be far closer. 8-4 type decision.

    Question for you and everyone else ,What does a win for Johnson legacy wise do for the Road Warrior p4p wise being a former lt heavy weight champ coming down in weight at his age to capture a super middle weight title against a certain hall of famer down the road ??

    This is a real mans fight.

    Im Carl Froch all the way in this Super 6 although i still like Glenn.

    I expect Froch to get it done. UD

    I expect Froch to trade with Glen then eventually slow down the pace but have times of trading every now and then. Froch should win this by UD but Johnson is always game and pretty clever.



    One hell of a fight but people forget that Froch also won that fight using his jab. Many times he would trade but in some parts of the middle rounds he was outboxing Pascal.

    I expect this to be a FOY candidate no question !


    Wonder how much input Bute will have for Johnson in this one since the spar together and are close friends ..

    Bute sparred with Johnson but he thinks Froch will win this fight; he also takes in account that if the Super Six final somehow gets delayed, Showtime might put Johnson in front of him in case he loses to Froch; Froch should win this fight cause he has sufficient speed to keep Johnson at distance; but if he misses with his jab and Glen gets in range he'll throw a fury of combinations that i'm certain will trouble Froch: i see this happening quite a few times during this fight as Glen is absolutely relentless; Glen Johnson has a good chance if he manages to exhaust Froch; we still don't know how Froch will react against a top pressure fighter. I expect this semifinal to clear out this question.

    Frock wins, could be tough though, and no way Froch KO's Johnson, Johnson has more chance of Knocking Froch out!

    Froch is a big man who can utilize his height as he showed in his fight with Arthur Abraham.

    I expect him to beat Johnson quite handily.
