    froch says he is going to hit and move, I wonder if he can make it a outside fight vs johnson, I think johnson will force him into a inside fight and brawl with him. Im a little worried since I want froch to win the super6

    Nothing to worry about. Froch will get things done against Glen. His performance against Greene was overrated imo

    He fought an inside fighter in Kessler..and lost..

    That doesn't really support my point, but in that fight he seemed
    To be drawn into a firefight, whereas against Abraham he was focused and seemed to learn from the Kessler fight. I expect him to fight in a similar way against Johnson but I won't e surprised if we see Froch mixing I up from time to time

    I don't see Froch losing against Johnson. He could have some tough moments but he's mentally strong and should find a solution to what Johnson brings. Johnson was losing on points against Green when the KO came. I also think he is overrated a bit now.

    It's not that Johnson is not good. He is. But what he brings to the table is not what can trouble Froch.

    I would not be surprised if Froch wins a controversial decision here. Johnson boxes extremely well on the inside and is a good pressure fighter, but those attributes doesn't always translate to points on the scorecards. Johnson is an efficient fighter, not a flashy fighter.

    The fact that Green was winning on point totally reflects what I just said. Johnson was clearly putting a clinic on Green, but his efficient boxing did not translate on the scorecards. Thank god he KOed him.

    Just a note on G Johnsons SMW career -
    In 12 SMW fights Johnson has lost 6 of them.
    Johnson has lost at SMW to -

    M Sosa who had 5 losses and 2 draws, and lost his next 2 fights after beating Johnson
    Kiwanuka who had 3 losses and 2 draws, had lost his last 2 fights coming into his fight with Johnson and his fight after Johnson
    Ottke 16-0 who in fairness was an outstanding SMW boxer
    Vanderpool 27-1 who lost his next fight, but in fairness that was at MW to Hopkins and Vanderpool had a good run after
    Branco 38-4-2 who was a world class SMW and became WBA LHW champ
    Sheika who was 19-1 and lost his next fight, though in fairness that was to Calzaghe.

    The SMWs that Johnson has managed to beat
    Campas 3-20-4 coming off of only 2 losses and won his next fight
    Watson 24-16-1, Johnson was his last fight
    Renteria 9-23-5 coming in, whos last 10 fight record before facing Johnson was 0-8-2
    Zimmerman 15-2-0 coming in, who had lost his previous fight and the one after
    A Green 29-2-0 coming in and Johnsons biggest SMW victory

    Its not impressive now is it. Please spare me the robbery talk.
    If any rated SMW losses to Johnson it wont look good on their resume

    A Green 29-2-0 coming in and Johnsons biggest SMW victory To think beating Green was all Johnson had to do to become a Ring rated SMW in todays ratings
    Go to 50:28

    Froch should easily defeat Johnson easily. I think Froch hits harder than Woods and consider Johnson has dropped in weight. I wouldnt be shocked if Froch stopped Johnson

    I meant he fought Kessler who opted to fight on the inside/ Not that Kessler is an inside fighter
