    If Froch boxes he will win, if he brawls he will probably still win, but it would be dangerous as Johnson has power and looked really good at 168, Johnson or Froch will give Ward Hell, so SOB will require his judges and ref. The ref tonight did not allow them to fight on the inside, took away from the fight.

    Go Glencoffe!

    I have a feeling Froch will have to slug it out for this one because Johnson isn't going to stand there with a high guard for twelve rounds and act like a punching bag. So, given that scenario, it'll give Johnson chances to land on Froch's chin and make him fight back.

    We're gonna have a war! Go Glencoffe, you can shock the world (Super 6, anyway).

    Just like Johnson's whole career....he has to fight an excellent fight and win just about EVERY ROUND just to get a SD. IMO....Johnson wins the fight, but Froch gets the Decision.

    Go watch Johnson v Cloud again, and then ask the same question. Johnson v Green was an illusion (Green is C-level). Froch by UD.

    It doesn't bode well for his opposition when Froch has an advantage in speed and reflexes to go along with his awkwardness, and that's what he's got going in against Glen. I've got nothing but respect for the Road Warrior, but I don't see this one going his way. Should be an excellent fight for the fans, though.

    Froch. The road warrior's into his 40s now, and doesn't do too well in title fights.

    I'd go with Froch: in his last fight vs Abraham he showed that he can use his (hard) jad very effectively. This weapon made me a believer. I have huge respect for Johnson who is an amazing fighter but I believe he will lose this one.

    Boxing is the winner

    But in seriousness Froch wins, too much stamina (Copes with Johnsons workrate), too awkward and will land cobra like combinations (Johnson has never fought a guy like Froch before despite his record) and is mentally tough (AKA not being Allan Greene)

    I expect a good fight though

    It will not be easy! No way! Froch will have to stand and fight which he will do but he will take his share of punches. Fighting Johnson is everything but easy. Btw Johnson fought B-Hop at MW. He was still developing at that time but Bernard was a beast! Johnson has seen it all!
