I havent seen anyone else bully Johnson like that.
The other thing is. This is the first fight in years where Johnson hasnt lost controversially. The other young fighters hes lost to recently, there was by far more of an argument that Johnson wan but not here.
Ward wont be able to pressure Froch like that. Frochs biggest asset is his strength. He looks very hard to budge and when he lets his hands go, he can get in some nice shots, like the right uppercut.
Iv moaned at Froch before for taking so long in his career to actually fight any world rated opponents before he talks shit but hes done that now and I feel he is still learning in every fight. Ward is deffinitly got his hardest fight coming up. Frochs rough style will do him well, as long as he doesnt sit back and think too much and let Ward try and dictate. Push him like Bika did.
I get that sense too.

There were a lot of cocky Froch fans on here saying how Johnson was going to get dominated and such nonsense.
It was a good fight, and I was disapointed that Glen slowed down in the later rounds, as he took a early lead on my card.
Froch did well, but really got A LOT of credit for flashy combos that landed on Johnson's gloves. He never hurt Glen, and didn't land a whole lot of clean shots. Certainly was fresher down the stretch though.
How did you score it ?
6 Rounds?

Even Glen Johnson didn't think that Glen Johnson won... when was the last time you heard him not complain about losing a decision?

Did I say Glen got robbed ? Did I say he won the fight ?
I said it was a very close fight, and it was.
Also you would think you lost too if you had a corner man telling you that you are losing every round and must get a knockout to win, as Johnson did.
Re: How did you score the Johnson vs. Froch fight ?
It was a close fight as in every round was close but Froch did do more almost every round. Someone else said it already but plodding forward with a high guard ocasionally throwing a punch doesnt out weigh the shots that Froch landed on Glen.
Im actually looking forward to the Ward Froch fight. I want to see what Froch can do with Wards shitty style. Im pretty sure he will be able to drag Ward in to a rough fight and outwork him. It cant be in Wards back yard yet again though!!
Re: How did you score the Johnson vs. Froch fight ?
I would love to see Johnson vs Abraham!!!
Re: How did you score the Johnson vs. Froch fight ?
Never take a judges scorecard for granted... I've just finished watching Johnson vs Cloud, fuck me that was a close fight to score.
Re: How did you score the Johnson vs. Froch fight ?
I just watched the fight i've been busy and been behind on current boxing, but i thought Carl Froch won quite clearly. Anytime Glen Johnson buzzed him he come right back, and he threw many more combinations and outworked Glen Johnson basically. Plus in the rounds he boxed he clearly won aswell.
I wasn't scoring it RBR but the feeling i got, was that Carl Froch won by atleast 8 rounds to 4.

Same here, I watched it a second time and it was even more convincing. Some close rounds, but Froch won the vast majority of them.

Yea it was a competitive fight but you could still see IMO, that Carl Froch was the clear winner.
Re: How did you score the Johnson vs. Froch fight ?
I didn't score it but thought the 116-112 scorecard was about right. Froch just outworked Johnson and fired back immediately with combinations nearly every time Johnson landed a good shot. I also thought the Sky commentators got a bit too excited whenever Johnson landed a big right hand, there was a few occasions where they reacted as if Froch was badly hurt by the punches when he was able to fire back straight away and didn't really show any signs that the punches had hurt him much.
Johnson made it tough, but I thought Froch was a clear winner.
