    I'm looking forward to it as well. Johnson will come forward and Froch is there to get hit. However, I see Froch landing the cleaner blows and occasionally utilizing some footwork and controlling just enough distance to cleanly win a few rounds. Close UD for Froch which will instantly be criticized by Johnson and most of the "but he was the guy coming forward" crowd (which I'm known to be a part of on occasion.)

    Maybe Froch will try to back Johnson up, Froch isnt that quick on his feet, Johnson wont really have to look for him.

    Really looking forward to this fight. I want to see if Johnson can adapt to the strategy Froch used against Abraham, i.e. closing the distance enough to work the body and figure out the best angle for the overhand right to land clean. If he's able to do that, we have a war. If Froch proves simply too mobile for old Glen, Froch wide UD. It's probably gonna be somewhere in between. :lol:

    froch will use the movement and range like he did vs abraham,and make glen be hesitant to jump on the inside cuz he will feel frochs power early.

    also froch will target the body and really basng the hooks to the body,wind,tire glen out and make him feel his age.

    he will fight at a pace that will wear glen out and get those big right hands and uppercuts to look to take glen out in the later rounds.

    wow...I know Froch put on a great performance on AA, but let's not get carried away here.

    Johnson is either stopping Froch or Froch squeaks by with a close controversial decision. No way he dominates...he doesnt have the footwork or the power to do so. If Dawson and Cloud had a hard time, I seriously doubt Froch can pull off a dominant performance.

    nice concise promo

    Froch got the chin, power, stamina, heart and work rate to last the full 15 rounds with anyone today.

    Glen is old and will tire with the work that Froch puts in so wont win any rounds from round 6 onwards.

    Also Johnson is shorter than Abraham, I think that would favour Froch.

    Froch late TKO. Glen at SMW may be weight drained.

    Depends on how much you rate Cloud and Dawson, Froch beat Pascal who beat Dawson, I know styles make fights but Froch is on the same level as Cloud and Dawson imo.

    Thanks

    Yer Glen only went 8 with Green so we will see how Glen does after 8 rounds with Froch who pace is alot higher than Allan Green.
