Ok I am a Reid fan and dont like Froch so I can see lots of positives for Robin
It has been a long time since Carl has completed any competetive rounds, he is coming off a knee injury, he has not been able to trin for a while because of the knee and will be big time rusty, Robin is by far the best fighter that Carl has faced, Robin has a longer reach than Carl and a good jab, Carl gets outjabbed fairly easily.
Robin is also quite fond of the right hand counter which Carl just begs for with his low held left.
Robin has had the most recent action out of the 2, a fairly high tempo 8 rounder wich Robin was coming on in, which was a good sign for him that after the lay off he had the fitness to get stronger during A fight that Robin took with only 2 weeks notice.
If Robin can start ramming his left in to Carls face early, Carl will find it very hard to get in to the fight, he is already a slow starter and if not given time and space to get settled he will get frustrated and Robin is also very good at being a bit rough wich Carl hasnt had to deal with yet.
All in all I see Robin doing very well and coming away with a decision over a rusty Froch who at 30 is yet to be tested!!
