Weigh In Video- Johnson Looks Ripped IMO

Looks Froch called him a twat at the end. It's an intense situation.

 

some fighter to fighter talk, thats all. Its part of the sport. If he wanted to be a *****, he would have made it audible.

Both fighters look to be in good condition. As usual, the Road Warrior will bring it. This will be a great fight to watch. I anticipate Johnson's usual linear pressure attack will eventually feed into Froch's style, IF he uses his footwork right. Froch's heavyhands will wear down Johnson and may catch him waiting or resting in "No Man's Land" and probably will get dropped. Thats my call if Froch uses his footwork

 

Froch looks impressive & he's not taking the fight lightly

This will be a quality, entertaining fight while it lasts

Froch via rsf imo.

 

seemed like froch said "you look dry,weight drained". Maybe a little mind trick to make johnson feel uneasy at froch knowing that glen might have struggled at this weight more than his usual weight.

I think froch can win if he does the correct things,and maintains focus and doesnt make any big errors.

He needs to start at a fast pace,let johnson feel his jab and overall power early,work the body from the start,push johnson back with jabs and straight crisp combinations,use slight movement to stop johnson setting down on his punches,and make johnson work more to get in range and make it hard for him to land right hands,froch should move away from the right hand,fight from his reach,keep the busier man,getting off first in every exchange,but moving and hitting. Keep his guard tighter,and balance good.

Wait till late on to really put the hurt on johnson,give him some uppercuts for johnsons effort of coming in close range.

Ide think froch would have the handspeed advantage and the movement footwork advantage.

Not an easy fight,but winnable for both,its who executes the best and makes the least mistakes/takes advantage of mistakes.

 

I actually dont like how Glen looks. Hes ripped but he could be overtrained. He has a high energy style and at 42 with that little body fat on him he could be fatigued after a few rounds. I would have rather seen him come in at the limit. To beat Froch he needs to be the same Glen Johnson we are used to seeing.

 

WAR FROCH WAR JOHNSON !!

When I first heard Glen weighed 166 I thought he would looked drained ..Both fighters look in excellent shape !

 

Glen looks ripped like an old mechanic LOL. I doubt glen is worried about anything froch said. I doubt anyone fighter who watches film on him is worried about what he is saying. They are worried about the stiff power. As for froch's footwork, it will be shown as overrated and basic like it is. Froch's runs then he will be cornered and caught off a counter and if he doesn't run he will be hit by counters also. Don't see froch winning because of his poor defense and inability to move his head when swinging. Glen's in your face, shell defense and overhand right will prevail IMO.

 

not sure 100% but he ends with "Weigh enough"

 

Lol froch by wide UD.

 

Johnson is very predictable. Hes got good defense and a good jab when coming in, but froch will pick him apart, picking his spots with powerful combinations. Froch will use the ring and outbox johnson. Froch movement and defense is under-rated. Johnson will have trouble finding and aad******g to froch's rhythm

 

That's where we differ. I do not believe Froch has what it takes to keep johnson off of him. I think johnson will see mostly everything froch throws while froch will be he with the unseen shots that johnson will counter him with. I do not think too highly of froch's footwork like others have after the abraham fight where he took turns punching with AA. Johnson will throw shots in between that as well as counter off of froch's jab forcing froch to trade. I see glen taking Froch's body away slowing him down and then taking it to froch. Froch has slow feet and it took AA to make em look good. They are not good or fast and Glen has caught faster, better and stronger people who tried to run. I see froch catching glen with something big and KOing glen before I see froch's slow feet and poor defense outboxing glen on the back foot for 12.

We all know what glen does but what he does should be a nightmare for what froch does whichever way froch decides to fight (which I think will be on the back foot)

Still this is all my and your opinion and we will see tommorrow. We have different calculations so we will se which is wrong tomorrow. Should be a good one.

 

You seem to be undderrating froch and overrating johnson. Trust me it will be competitive but there is no reason to put any stock let alone money into johnson winning. Your analysis is far shot and full of if this and if thats. Based off of boxing ability and adversity froch should handle johnson. Nothing personal. Jus saying youre way off on this one.

 

I'd say minimum of 15 lbs.

 

I think Froch is going to win. Froch is very good at controlling range. Johnson's straight ahead style will play right into Froch's superior boxing skills.

 

Johnson't overhand right will be coming over the top of Froch's low left hand all night long.
