Froch vs. Johnson on Showtime Saturday - the Super Six continues

[MMASUX]

Don't forget we have Kessler back in action on showtime also. They are going to show it before Froch-Johnson.

I thought JCC2 looked very good against Duddy. Looking forward to see how he progresses actually.

I think Johnson will do surprisingly well against Froch, I think Froch may gut it out, but he'll be bloody and bruised.

Agreed, Glen is a tough customer, this won't be a easy fight for Froch in Atlantic City.

Thanks, I forgot about that one, it should be worth a look:

At Copenhagen, Denmark (Showtime, same-day tape): Mikkel Kessler vs. Mehdi Bouadla, 12 rounds, super middleweights

Good weekend of boxing, I have both Showtime and HBO, but i'll likely catch Kessler vs. Bouadla on a stream earlier in the day.

Zbik was deemed not a good enough opponent for Martinez and had to relinquish his belt. Now that HBO want to kiss Arum’s butt they have given their approval for Zbik to fight JCC jnr. Totally nonsense and not worthy of the classification of “world” title. Froch wins against Johnson no doubt.

I started off calling froch a damn joke.....but outside of ward i think he's beats everyone else's ass right now.

Nice to see that you acknowledge that he is a good fighter. You are right he is the second best fighter in the division.

I don't think Froch has that much of an edge because Johnson is still adjusting to this new weight and has fought stronger and more skilled fighters in the light heavy division. If Johnson is aggressive early and gives Froch a good body beating before going upstairs things might even out and it will be a close decision either way. Froch is not that skilled and Johnson is not young either so for at least four rounds it will be competitive. I'm not picking against Johnson because he's a good guy but I'm no fool because Froch is still learning the only question is did he learn enough for Saturday night?

Froch will batter Johnson.

I think Glen Johnson is gonna win this fight.

The question is whether or not he will get the decision.

Hmmmm, I wouldn't say Froch wins without any doubt, there's definitely some chance Johnson could win this.

That's been part of Glen's problem over the years, losing close fights that go to a decision. Many of Johnson's fights, because of his style are very hard to score, the only way he gets the nod is if he clearly dominates.

We got Friday Night Fights too!

I think this is the end of Glenn Johnson. I suspect Froch batters him. As for the other fight? Never seen Zbik so I have no idea.

Excellent HBO undercard too.

Really Marble? I see this fight as really competitive fight, with Johnson giving as good as he gets. Glen may be 42, but this isn't his first 'war', and I don't see his career ending, or him getting battered by Froch. Froch likes to press the action, and Glen isn't going to back down, we could have helluva fight Saturday, i'm looking forward to it.

I think I've seen Glenn really fading physically and Froch near his peak.

I can understand your reasoning, I just feel like Glen has enough left in the tank to make this interesting.

Sky are showing both the Kessler fight and the Froch fight on normal sports, no PPV!

Going to be a good night
