I expect low roundhouse kicks รก la thalboxing to stop Frochs footwork, and the ref will rule it "tangeling their feets". Expect a negative and messy final with Ward by UD, and lots of complaining afterwards.
Just watched it on Youtube. 115-113 for Froch. Johnson didn't embarrass himself at all! Entertaining fight regardless!
Had Johnson winning 1,2,3,6,7,8, Froch winning 4,5,9,11,12 Round 10 even and understand either way that went
Froch won that pretty clearly. It was a good effort by Johnson but anyone who scored it a draw or a win for Glenn is a ****ing numpty. The card by the Japanese judge was a ****ing disgrace. Far worse than the 117-111 one.
I had it 115-113 for Froch. IMO Froch has been fading since he beat Taylor. Either way 42 year old man Johnson running him this close shows the lack of class in the division.
Froch won clearly, but didn' t impress at all. I'd say that after this fight, Ward is a clear favorite to win S6. Froch- Johnson was quite dull actually.
I posted this in another thread but my score was 118-112. I rewatched it about an hour ago. Rounds 5, 9, 10, 11 & 12 were nailed on 100% Froch rounds. Rds 2 & 8 as 100% Johnson's Rds 1 & 5 too close to call either way, 10/10 rounds. **** all happened in the first round so I don't see how anyone could give it to either fighter. Which leaves Rds 3, 4, and 7 as close but I gave them to Froch on workrate and because Johnson was doing nothing apart from the occasional big right hand which was having no visible effect, and for all the Froch shots that were getting blocked, he still landed more than Glen. I'm pretty sure the Japanese judge gave all the close rounds to Johnson out of sympathy, then realised his error when they were all added up. . .
