    Froch will be a bit too much for Glen, but I hope the road warrior starches his ass.

    if froch can handle his power hes gunna win . but thats a big question . im seriously starting to think that glen will knock him out. froch defense isnt that good and he is gunna get hit. i just hope johnson doesnt get to old over night that is the only thing holdin him back. and the weight issues wit glen . even no there hasnt been weight issues . but the the big adjustment hes make in weight in order to fight at super middle . i dont want glen to win i want the guy with the future to win which is froch . i wanna see these old guys go home.

  8. Froch will get a decision but Johnson (as always) will make him work for it.

    I think it will be a close fight that could go either way. People are counting Glen out, thinking this fight is gonna be Froch vs AA 2 or some **** like that. I've read people saying Froch will KO him and end his career and all that....But I highly doubt that's going to happen.

    Its hard to pick against Froch in this fight. Froch has no idea how to fight on the inside and he is wide open for a very good over the top right hand if you can get close enough to throw it on him. The punch I'm talking about is the exact same punch that Midana nearly floored khan with. Johnson is the master at getting close to his opponents and he's also very good at throwing the over hand right so I see him being very successful. IF it wasn't for Froch's last fight against AA I'd probably make this too close to call or go with Johnson by descision/late knockout. Froch however proved with his last fight that he has the ability to recognize flaws in his game and make the appropriate adjustments in training. Also he looked so complete and affective fighting behind his jab that despite the fact that Glen is the master at avoiding the jab it makes it hard to pick against Carl....

    I see this looking like the Froch McGee fight, only Glenn is on a different level, which given how competitive that fight was is not a good sign for Froch. He'd better be in great shape or else Cobra fans, prepare for a let down.

    Carl on points, his tasted defeat now and i think he is determined not to lose again. No doubt Glen will make him work for it though.

    Glen didnt look too impressive against Greene. I dont know if it was just me or did he really seem to just walk forward into Greene. Froch will murder him if he does the same.

    Going for GJ, but I'll be realistic and think Froch will bring his A game. I hate to say this, but Froch does seem to be abit more versatile and I think can crack alittle more and can be alittle faster than Johnson. Hoping Johnson can squeak a split decision, but I think Froch will win by a UD. Hopefully Johnson gets inspired by Hopkins and raise it a level. Froch is no Greene and Johnson doesn't have the power to ko Froch.

    Froch UD

    But I do think Johnson will win 4-5 rounds with a bunch of close ones.
