Good for Froch, not bad for a guy I never thought would amount to ANYTHING on the world stage. I say Mack wins 1-2 rounds maximum. No way in hell do I think Mack will do well until his chin lets him down nor do I think in a million years will he be ahead at the time of the stoppage. Mack is a decent fighter who fights with that Philadelphia style, always engaging at close range but he has absolutely zero stamina to win a world title. That's awful too because his (I think former) trainer John Tandy was a great guy and very high on him. Mack must be approaching 30 and has not improved (at least in my eyes) since he was kissed goodnight by Alejandro Berrio. It's been the same story in ever loss of his since that fight. His excuse for that fight was he was having a problem making 168 and that sapped his stamina. That was 6 years ago!! At least! His most high profile victory since then was over Chris Henry on the FNF opener years ago and even then he was on crazy legs for the last part of the bout and barely got a win out of it. Froch is a late starter and his best attribute is his ability to overwhelm and wear other boxers down. No chance for Mack imo. I think Froch starts the domination in round 2.

This is the first time I've picked Froch to win a fight since he beat that helpless Polish guy all those years ago. That might not be true, but I feel like it is. Froch is like the 2012 Oakland A's, he's very good and it doesn't have to make sense, it's just true.
