Froch vs. Johnson on Showtime Saturday - the Super Six continues

[Mars_ax]

Good weekend of boxing for us fans:

June 4
At Atlantic City, N.J. (Showtime): Super Six World Boxing Classic semifinals, Carl Froch vs. Glen Johnson, 12 rounds, for Froch's WBC super middleweight title.

I've got Froch winning a decision, but shit happens, a Johnson upset is not impossible, Glen seems to be reborn hard @ 168.

Some good fights on HBO Saturday as well:

At Los Angeles (HBO): Sebastian Zbik vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., 12 rounds, for Zbik's WBC middleweight title; Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia vs. Miguel Beltran, 10 rounds, featherweights; Vanes Martirosyan vs. Saul Roman, 12 rounds, WBC junior middleweight eliminator.

I figure Zbik must not be shit, why else would Chavez Jr. be fighting him for a trinket.

My take is Junior wins a UD, and his first major title, please Zbik, surprise everyone and be worth a shit.

I've got Froch in a close decision. I've never seen Zbik fight so i can't comment there, but regardless if he's good or not i don't expect JCC jr to look great, he never does.

According to BoxRec:

Sebastian Zbik - Boxer

Zibik is 30-0 with only 10 KO's, so not much power, and all of his fights have been in Germany, this will be his first fight outside of Germany. (in Los Angeles)
I don't expect Chavez Jr. to look great, but having Freddie Roach as his new trainer should help him.

We got Friday Night Fights too!

I think this is the end of Glenn Johnson. I suspect Froch batters him. As for the other fight? Never seen Zbik so I have no idea.

Excellent HBO undercard too.

it could go either way. if johnson makes it a nasty war he has a damn good shot!

I think so too. Johnson was looking old in his last fights at LHW and he is just older and at a weight that it is hard for him to make. I think Froch is going to beat him up, his come forward style will be his downfall in this one.

I think it will be a wild fight. Loopy shots all over the place.

Really Marble? I see this fight as really competitive fight, with Johnson giving as good as he gets. Glen may be 42, but this isn't his first 'war', and I don't see his career ending, or him getting battered by Froch. Froch likes to press the action, and Glen isn't going to back down, we could have helluva fight Saturday, i'm looking forward to it.

I agreed with this statement.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I definitely think Johnson's style will do well to drag Froch into an all out Brawl. Froch is a macho man and I think he'll actually like Johnson's power and try to match him for sneaky power punches.

I think I've seen Glenn really fading physically and Froch near his peak.

Sky are showing both the Kessler fight and the Froch fight on normal sports, no PPV!

Going to be a good night

[Cressa121]

I think Froch will win a relatively clear decision. Johnson's tough and I think it will be hard fought but as long as Froch doesn't allow himself to get dragged into a battle and uses his skills he should be able to win and win well. I'm looking forward to it.

It should be good to see Kessler back in action too, hopefully he's still got enough left to have some good, competitive fights with the S6 guys and Bute.

I'm pulling for Johnson..... Froch is to arrogant... maybe after he proves himself a little more.. You really have to be elite to claim another respected boxer won't win a single round. This isn't hype talk from Froch, hes so damn insecure that it resorts to an overly arrogant blabber from his mouth.
