    Froch for me


    Glen is in his 40s and losing those extra pounds will inevitably take its toll. lets not get carried away here, he beat Alan Green, who hasnt beaten anybody. Frochs workrate and power will back Johnson up i think and once he does that his cause is lost

    I think it's going to be a close fight and Froch's toughest fight to date, but I still think he's going to win a close/SD/controversial decision.

    hard pick because right now I think Froch is better than Johnson but I think Johnson has the right style to beat him.

    I'm going with my main pick as Johnson by close decision, but backed up by Froch by KO in round 7 or 8.

    Great fight with Froch winning a UD. Too much work rate for Johnson in my opinion.

    I think Froch takes this one but I am concerned because he said he was not going to go toe to toe with Johnson on the last episode of Fight Camp 360. Froch has the Chin to go toe to toe with Johnson and Johnson thrives on close rounds that could go either way.

    Well, theres a lot of problem with that. Could Cloud beat Froch? Who knows. He might (and I openly hope that fight happens in the future :good)

    However, the big problem is this whole "Froch is a great boxer!" craze happened after he shut out Abraham. If Green is C-level, how do we rate Abe? Y'know, the guy who stood there with his guard up as a standing target waiting to be picked apart almost the whole fight. You could just as well say, "Go watch Froch vs. Kessler again and then ask the same question. Froch vs. Abraham was an illusion."

    Froch is good, theres no doubt about that, but lets not pretend Glen won't test him.

    I think Froch edges a victory.

    Froch should win this by decision, but Johnson will be in that grill all night and force him to fight. I don't put too much stock in what Carl did to AA, because let's face it Queen Arthur didn't do ****. Cheering for Glen, but Froch takes it.

    Froch is not a great boxer, but I think he has developed into a pretty good one. Couple that with the indisputable fact that he possesses a solid beard and warrior's mentality and you have a formidable opponent on your hands.

    Froch earns a UD.

    My heart says the Road Warrior but if I had to lay some money down I'd pick the Cobra ..Tough ..The Cobra should just try to out box Johnson ..If he gets drawn in to a shoot out the edge to Johnson ..Dam this is going to be a good scrap !

    I agree. I don't think this will be an easy night for Froch at all. Johnson's a great fighter and has the hunger, skills and experience to beat anyone on any given night. But the Cloud fight really showed Johnson's age. He got rocked and gassed. People saw the Green fight and immediately thought Johnson was back to classic form, but Green is a joke - had no business being in the Super 6. Froch is in his prime and will overpower Johnson in the later rounds. But it will not be easy.
