    I think he could have stopped Abraham but he was too cautious, if he busts out the same type performance against Johnson could he go at him and get the ageing road warrior out of there on a ref stoppage or something?

    I can't see a KO, only a possible TKO, but it's hard to see Froch hurting Johnson, only through accumulation can I see Froch stopping Johnson.

    I just hope they both go to war!

    Can't see a stoppage, Glen is one tough man! If Froch wants the stoppage i think he should go downstairs early, stick a stiff jab in Johnsons face for the first 6 rounds then up his workrate and show his youth. A TKO through accumilation is possibl but highly doubtfull.

    Froch can hit and Abrahams had the survival skills and defence to just hide through 12 rounds. Froch has not shown his power for a while. He has either been facing tough guys like Kessler or pussies like Dirrell. Johnson is tough but old and in his face. Its a stretch but a stoppage would be impressive. Not many even treat the Hopkins stoppage as a proper ko against Johnson.

    I'm taking Carl by 5th round ko by jab right straight left hook combo. Oddly specific and probably.wrong but I have a feeling Carl will keep him at arms length all night and Glenncoffe will walk ino something big.

    Glen will make it rough from the first round.

    I'd imagine it will be somewhere between 3:30am and 4:30am.

    I could be wrong mate but bear in mind that they've got the Kessler show in between the Rees and Froch ones.

    No way will Froch stop Johnson. I seriously doubt it.

    Anyway, Froch has said he's not going to commit to trying to stop him. He'll be all about Boxing this guy, using the jab and being fast with his punches.

    He knows there's no point in trying to knock Johnson out. It just doesn't happy with this guy.

    Showtime go on air at 2am but are showing Kessler-Boudla first. Now Boudla's being 8 with Golovkin who can bang a bit and Kessler has being inactive for more than a year. So my guess is that'll go to the later rounds.

    So about 3am, maybe 3.30 depending on how much build up stuff Showtime show.
