He seemed nervous and I think that slowed him uo. At times he seemed to be fighting very stiff and straight up with little defence. If he had been facing a top puncher he would have lost (no matter how good his chin is... and I think it's very good). He was forced to punch down a lot because Pascal continually ducking below the waistline. Uppercuts would have beena useful weapon but these were only used rarely and often as lead single shots.

Froch showed a lot of heart but if Pascal (who says he had modeled himself on RJJ) had been 60% of what RJJ was then he would have won.

Froch will struggle against fast agile opponents....

You could tell that both fighters especially Froch were nervous before and during the first 3 or four rounds.You could see how tense their both were as their were throw punches.Cant blame them really,with them having undefeated record each!Froch started to ease and relax in the 5th!
