    From what you know about both boxers, who would win between Carl Froch and Librado Andrade?

    Why?


    At this point, I'm unsure, but it would be a battle.

    Andrade, I have lost all faith in Froch. It would be a banger though.

    it would be rockem sockem Robots. but i think they are equal in power with andrade taking the better punch. if you look Andrade moves his head with the punch to lessen the impact. very effective although it makes his opponet look better. Would be fun while it lasted

    Andrade has as hard a chin as you as you can have without titanium screws holding it together. Froch would be stymed as all he has is the hard left. It would be a late round KO for Librado "Smack in the Box" Andrade.

    Basically a pick em, but I might give Froch a small edge.

    This could be a FOTY candidate for sure. I hope they replace Taylor with the winner of Bute/Andrade and give points based on how that fight ends.

    Andrade's not special, and he doesn't hit particularly hard. Froch is basically a harder punching, more mobile version of Andrade. They both have good chins. What does Andrade bring to the table that will give him any edge in this fight??

    Froch's chin is good, but over-rated. Taylor nearly had him out of there and even Dirrell rocked him. Andrade really is something else in terms of toughness. I'd say Andrade by late stoppage.

    I couldnt see Andrade winning 3 fights in a ROW vs Pascal, Taylor (fresher version than the beat up version Abraham had) and Direll.

    Froch is a different class, thats why he a champion and Andrade is a punch bag at world level.

    I fancy Froch to beat Kessler also.

    I expect Froch to Face Dirrell in the FInal...and lose to Andre in the US.

    Dirrell will grow from this.

    A toughman contest at its best. I cant think of a fight where less boxing skill would be employed.
