But if you look closely, to hurt Froch, you have to be fast. He was hurt by Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell and Groves. No way Chavez can stop him.
After watching the Vera's fight, I can't see any other scenario than a brutal destruction by Froch. Roids and corrupted judges can't save Chavez this time. Froch KO2 or 3.
Tell me again why TR goes with this fight? They're already making over $2mill per fight fighting guys like Brian Vera. Why kill the goose by throwing him in with Froch? It's not like Chavez will make more money against Froch than he would in two Vera fights. Jr brings in ratings fighting weak opponents, HBO's won't pressure him to step up because in their eyes he's actually earning his bloated check.
Well, it isn't happening next since the IBF have mandated an immediate rematch with Groves. If Froch comes through the rematch and the fight with Chavez happens, Jr gets thoroughly beaten and embarrassed. The best he could do is last the distance - his prospects of beating a world-class fighter are extremely slim. Jr will probably need another gift from the judges to get past Vera anyway.
well u said it yourself, if he had am avarage defense he wouldnt have been dropped...well thats the reason i think Chavez can drop him also. and it wasnt just groves, Jermian Taylor (who doesnt have much power) dropped him also so to say Chavez cant isnt a correct statment
Nothing I have seen from Chavez so far tells me he is able to beat Froch. They are very lvl speed/cheen/height/weight. Experience is on froch's side.
I want to say Froch, but I am going to withold any predictions until I see how Jr looks in Vera2. JR's problem is not talent, chin or power. Its drive and motivation. Froch batters the JR we last saw from pillar to post. If the Vera1 humiliation got him motivated to take his craft and fitness training seriously, then Froch might be in for a long night even if he still came in victorious.
