I was considering Johnson's recent fights and trying to figure out whether Froch is comparable to any of Johnson's recent opponents. I didn't have any success. He isn't as physical as Cloud and not as fast as Dawson, both opponents that Johnson struggled with. The comparison with Clinton Woods apears on the surface to be apt because they're both Englishmen, but Froch's style is different than Clinton Woods. I also don't see Johnson as comparable really to any of Froch's recent opponents.

Thus, this fight is tough for me to call. I'd be surprised and impressed if Froch put on a clinic comparable to the one he put on Abraham. At the same time, I have a tendency to underestimate the man from Nottingham.

Johnson looked good the last time out dispensing of Allan Green in 6 rounds, but that's Allan Green, not Carl Froch. Froch looked good dispensing of Arthur Abraham, but that's Arthur Abraham, not Glen Johnson. This may come down to Froch's ability to keep Johnson at bay with his jab and his right hand. I'm leaning toward Froch in a mixed decision or split decision win where Froch appears vulnerable throughout the fight, and escapes with a good win.
