    I just doubt that Johnson can pull it off. Since Allan Green was able to control distance against at moments in their fight, and if Green can do it, im wondering what Froch will do to him... Green was also leading at the time of stoppage, and could IMO have won the fight if he was better coached..
    Also Johnson is old and is not likely to improve anymore, while Froch is still a "student" and seems to improve every time he fights..

    I cant decide if im going to. I think bodog has it at -300. Thats definitely good. But the way Froch boxed against Abraham was beautiful and with his freakishly long reach he can do something similar to Johnson. Johnson is a smaller guy who needs to get inside. Even if he does get inside Froch has a good inside game.

    I would have done it for sure had the Abraham fight not happened. That was a complete 180 to a normal Froch.

    I don't think Kessler stopping his opponent between 1-6 is that likely - looking at Bouadla's record (without seeing him fight) i would think that he lasts into the second half of the fight

    I saw a clip from one of his fights...
    he is slow as hell, very stationary and has extremely limited defense..
    Exactly the kind of fighter who Kessler would stop after a few rounds ( i also think that is the reason why Saurland picked him)

    Oh ok. I guess it's a good bet then. Looking at his record i assumed he was a boxer mover

    Odd's on the Klitschko/Haye fight won't be that good, a lotta British fans will be betting on David...

    I believe that i saw haye +200 and WK -250.

    if haye can't get him early, i see him gretting frustrated adn ventually succumbung to WK.

    i keep thinking of the byrd fight and how WK just destroyed him. bryd was in the best shhpe of his life and near prime.

    how much better is haye than bryd?

    is haye even better than bryd?

    the fight being in germany gives more advantages to WK. wk is a solid pick here.

    Well Haye can definitely hit harder then Bryd, but their speed difference can't be that big. Byrd also has a way better level of competition on his resume at Heavyweight then Haye.
