    I pick pascal to knock him out prior to the 8th although i'd love to see froch do the job i just don't think he's had good enough opposition at this stage. Albeit not his fault as the man has been ducked shitlots.

    Maxime, I hope you've got a tenner on Froch. (Emotional insurance);)

    I put my vcash on Pascal because the odds were good. :D

    So if Froch wins I lose everything. :lol:

    :patsch :D

    Maxime, forget v-cash. Put a tenner on Froch to win at 3/10 and at least you'll be able to make yourself feel better by buying your child a "free" ball to play with, from the profits.;)

    If Froch somehow loses (crazy thought, I know; 1/100 chance)...won't paying a tenner make up for the satisfaction of reading the reaction of the fanboys on the Cobra fan site?;)

    Froch will win this regardless of it going to points. People seem to think Pascal will outbox him and win on points if it lasts, or he'll get robbed.

    I think we'll see Pascal in his shell.

    Froch mid rounds.

    Pascal doesn't have the discipline/mental strength/experience to box continuously in a way that would allow him to stay out of trouble, even though he has the skills to do so. He is tentative, fights in spurts, invites his opponents in, relying on his reflexes...this is the wrong recipe against a fighter like Froch who likes nothing more than a tear-up against a weaker, less hard-chinned, less powerful opponent. Not only will Pascal not outbox Froch much, but he will stand in front of him too much and this won't go past the 9th round.

    I think Froch stops him late, in a competitive affair.

    It's only going to be competitive if Froch let's him in the game. As soon as Froch decides to end the show, Pascal's gameplan's out of the window.

    Froch does get sloppy at times though, you must agree?

    He's having a laugh, mate. Giving the fans a bit to get excited about. If he KO1ed everyone, do you think fans would pay to see the fight? They'd just watch it on youtube later.

    Froch KO1 Kessler/Calzaghe/Taylor/Dawson/Bute...you name it, if he really wants to.
