I'm not too familiar Pascal although I vagely recall seeing him fight before Miranda beat Banks. What are the conventional criticisms of Jean Pascal? What will Froch try to exploit?

On the other side of the coin: What will be Pascal's gameplan? What advantages does he have?
im thinking that the first couple of rounds will be pascal trying to really gain an advantage with his speed. Carl will figure out what he has and up his tempo a bit and looking to land good accurate shots, if Pascal is getting a bit too big for his boots carl will up the pace even more and this is when it will get interesting. I know pascal has good power and good speed. But footwork is something thats going to make carl shine in this fight. I really think hes going to be able to throw really good power shots from angles which will land flush. Pascal from what I have seen has been hurt by not so powerful punches, sometimes takes silly shots. I think if he gets hurt and slows down, this fight can be over within 5.

Im not underestimating Pascal in the slightest, I know he has a lot of talent, but Carl has the backing of his home fans and is really going to be up for this one. He knows that this fight is it for him and there is no second chance after this.

Im expecting a really strong performance by carl, but he cant be giving away pointless rounds, I dont think he will but he has to really be on his A game for this fight. It will be fully entertaining like most Froch fights are.

I just hope its over in the 5th round though
Will you be ringside with a pair of pompoms?
