    Pascal will exposed Froch. Bigger, faster, more skills, its a great opportunity to make easy money on Pascal.

    Pascal is in great shape and 100% healthy. No way he can lose against this fraud.

    Look, it's a 50/50 fight. Most people are picking Froch but both men are largely untested. Like the Inkin/Zuniga fight, it's a joke that 2 untested fighters get to fight for a title. But at least the winner will have a decent win on his resume and a belt to make himself more marketable. There are numerous fights to be made for the winner of this bout but i'd personally prefer to see the winner fight Andrade.

    Bookies make money by pitting bettor against bettor. You think they know the talent of all the teams/players etc. they make book on? No. They make book on bettor's tendancies.

    Froch's fans are off the deep end to favor him over the top guys at 168.

    In 23 fights against mediocre opposition he has shown himself to be an average boxer with good power and lacking defense. Jeff Lacy anyone? Edison Miranda?

    Carl's only prayer in any fight with guys like Kessler and Taylor is that his chin holds up and he catches his opponent at some point. That is a hell of a way to make a career. If he can do it though, it will make him a fan favorite.

    It's rare that such a fighter is successful at the top; for every Antonio Margarito there are a dozen Librado Andrades and Jeff Lacys.

    Until Froch fights someone with a pulse i will reserve judgment, haven't seen much of him let alone against legitimate opposition.

    No actually we look at form and give a price based on that. Then as money is laid the prices fluctuate to minimise losses. If large amounts are laid on one fighter money is laid off with other bookies and the prices go out so far as to be unnattractive.

    I think froch will beat Pascal, but in the Magee fight he seemed to panic in the corner saying his hand was gone. I think mentally he may be a bit weak and covers it with his mouth. he went awful quiet on calling Calzaghe out after the Lacy fight.
