Froch is a cold blooded tough *******. Broken hands, ruptured biceps, broken thumbs, cruciate knee ops.. I think Pascal is vulnerable, especially mentally. I think fighting in Froch's homtown tips him over the edge.
The same could perhaps be said for you Canadians about Froch? Haven't seen Pascal fight so won't definitively comment, but if as some people say his chin is suspect, Froch will win as he has a lot of power at 168, and he's one of the best finishers around. Should be a good fight! Both men have to deliver.
Pascal has great potential as a fighter, he just needs to turn this potential into reality. Now is the time...
I'M from Montreal and i've seen a lot of Pascal fights. And he is way overated. He goes to sleep in that one. Mark my word.
Thank goodness, Carl Froch is gonna whoop that ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think this fight will result in having even more fighters avoid Froch after they see him handle PAscal.
What the hell, Froch was outboxed by ****ing Brian Macgee until he koed him in the 11th. People talk as if Pascal will get a beating a la Jeff Lacy. That's the last thing I would expect from that fight. Froch will either hit Pascal with some huge right hand around the middle of the fight or win a close decision or lose a decision... Anyhow, even if Froch kos Pascal, it won't happen fast and the fight will have been close up to that point.
Talent wise...Carl Froch is like the Ricardo Mayorga of the 168 lbs division...What he really has going for him is power and a solid chin ! Therefore he won't be with the elite at 168 for very long if he wins the WBC belt against Pascal !! We can arguably compare his potential to a guy like ''Edison MIranda''... Exciting, powerful, but wild with average speed, and predictable with his punches coming from way out there...
