    Who do you guys like in this fight? I think Johnson is gonna pull of the upset or lose by close controversial decision. Or maybe take it out the judges hands and score a Ko? One thing is for sure i dont see Froch stopping Johnson.

    I expect this to be a grueling, physical fight that goes the distance. My heart says The Road Warrior wins, my head says Froch wins a tougher than expected contest. I'll be rooting for Glen, but I really do expect Froch to win.

    And by the way Anarci -- Dwyer from Gambler's Advisory is picking Glen Johnson. Of course, he also compared David Lemiuex to a prime Mike Tyson!

    Anyway, if Glen wins this, it would sure make for a hell of a story. He's the biggest, toughest fighter Froch has ever faced, but Froch is primed and ready. We'll see come fight night.

    Yeah i heard him comment about this on FB about a month ago and i think he made some strong points... Of course Froch has youth and being in his prime is a big + , but i agree hes never faced anyone like Johnson. I think if Froch tries to battle with Johnson he will lose.

    As for Lemieux:lol: Well i never thought of him as a young Tyson... Looked good but he was to unproven for me to ever get on that bandwagon. I always thought people were jumping the gun on him.

    If Froch fights smart, Froch wins. If not..who knows. There is so much on the line for Froch's legacy that I can only see him fighting smart. He wants to be in the final and win it.

    Froch/Johnson in a 117-111 type decision with a lot of close rounds.

    I have no idea who to pick. 50/50 imo.

    I'm rooting for Johnson but I think that froch is gonna edge him. Either way I know I'll be satisfied at the end. These two types of guys fighting each other, we win. It would be great to see Johnson pull this off this late in his career with everything else he's done. he did look stronger and crisper at 168 as compared to 175, but hey maybe it was just Green. Can't wait to find out.

    Froch wins a UD though I think Johnson always has a chance.

    I think Froch's main objective is to remain just out of Johnson's range...expect a very similar gameplan and result like the Abraham fight...but admittedly, Johnson will be tougher. Froch UD. (Froch steps to the right using rights to the head and body)

    Neither is a one punch KO artist, but can give serious damage with a series of shots. I think Froch might try to box him first and then go to his old self. I don't think he'll outbox GJ, but if he underestimates GJ, Froch will be in the fight of his life. A draw is not out of the question, but if it remains close, I think they will give if to Froch who has more to lose. This is the year of the underdog and Johnson is the epitome of the underdog.

    I picked Froch by decision because he's the younger more lively fighter. I'll tell you one thing though, Johnson isn't gonna sit around on the outside and just let Froch outbox his ass all night long like Abraham did. Johnson is gonna bring it! You can count on that.

    I like froch by close UD even in AC if he listens to mcCracken again.

    Froch can keep GJ where he wants him for enough rounds to win with
    his jab. Unless he gets in an unnecessary war with johnson he has this
    fight to win or lose.

    froch's a badass and a deceivingly good fighter but doesn't have great coordination or hand speed and johnson a tough relentless sob who could make this really rough for him

    I'll have to say Froch in a close decision because for whatever reason Johnson doesn't get close decisions. Even if he wins!
