Thread: I think froch is going to retire Johnson

I just got this feeling that froch is going to turn up in the best shape ever after a good break smash gj!!
Froch shows no signs of slowing and he shows no sign of war/battle damage. Just seems as fresh as a 19year old

I meant and smash gj!!
Atleast this is what I reckon. People are welcome to make me laugh and disagree.

I have a hard time seeing Johnson winning myself, but can't imagine it will be anything but a gruelling fight for Froch.. There's no way Froch will be able to keep distance and win rounds easily as he did against Abraham, Johnson still throws to much and knows how to cut off the ring.

When was the last time Johnson was smashed by anyone? When has Froch ever destroyed someone that was better than an average fighter? He knocked out Taylor but didn't look great doing it and Taylor doesn't have anywhere close to the chin Johnson has. Maybe with Johnson now at super middle it could happen but I doubt it. Froch is a good exciting fighter that won't quit before a match is over but some people on this forum have insane confidence in him being able to do things we've never seen him do.

I've been saying Froch will win by TKO since the fight came to fruition. Froch can crack, Johnson is old (and he has to start looking old in the ring at some point), and Johnson is fighting a division below his natural weight class. I think that adds up to a Froch TKO win.

I think Johnson will make him look really bad. Bad feeling about this one.

Froch will never Lise without a good fight. Kessler looked like death warmed up and it had nothing to do with wards headbutts. And regardless of the cuts Kessler was all over the place whenever froch hit him with half loaded shots. Kessler fought like never before in that fight (meaning Kessler was at his best) unlike against ward

Froch is a much better fighter than I once thought. Very akward and clever. Tough as nails too.

But I really cannot see him stopping Johnson. I mean Johnson fought to a draw against Tarvoris Cloud who hits A LOT harder than Froch. A draw on my card anyway, he lost a razor thin decision.

I really see Johnson as a live underdog in this fight. I'm picking him to beat Froch.

Kiss Froch goodbye! If Jermain Taylor fights you tooth and nail and hurts you then you can bet the house on Johnson doing damage!

I think Johnson stops him late, but you guys are entitled to be wrong if you want. Froch is a lot closer to good than great and I'm sorry but right now Glen Johnson is a tough ask for ANYONE in the Super Six....if Froch has a defensive lapse he WILL pay for it and Johnson won't let him rest at all.

Johnson makes tough men quit. He is relentless, with a good high guard and a thumping jab. He's the darkhorse to win the tournament. I just have my doubts if he can defeat Andre Ward.

Ward has had his defensive troubles too like vs Miranda.

Johnson is physically and mentally tough, he's got a good chin, he's got decent defense, but his will power is the trump card...he just doesn't fade. I have yet to see Johnson schooled by a boxer, he just applies so much pressure he wins rounds.

Froch is better than I thought too, but I would be more shocked if he stops Johnson than I would be if Wlad lost his next fight.

Froch could win a decision, but knock Glen out or stop him? I don't think so, this figures to be a war, with Johnson giving as good as he takes, and with Johnson losing since he usually doesn't win close decisions.

I don't think it's totally out of the question however, that Johnson could hurt and possibly even stop Froch.
