Carl knows how to box and adapt and I have said that for years, his footwork with boxing skills will be the difference mid to late. Carl will get involved on the inside and he will be able to take what Johnson has to offer and fire it straight back. This is why it will be an exciting fight, but carl will do enough to take a hard faught decision.
I watched Froch's fight with Kessler again last night and came away thinking that Froch is a tough SOB, I also thought that while Kessler might have done enough to get the decision, Froch won the war.
This makes me believe that if Froch's fight with Johnson turns into a war of attrition (which it likely will), Froch should be able to hold his own, I figure Johnson is going to be a big test for Carl, forget about him being 42 years old.
