When is carl froch vs glen johnson

Froch has summed up a record, with the only blunder a unanimous decision loss to Mikkel Kessler. In his win over Johnson, Froch continued to display his versatility in the ring, at times showing great boxing ability and mobility, while at the same time showing the toughness and chin that has defined him throughout his career.

What at times has seemed like a disorganized and poorly thought out event, has turned into great fights between great fighters.

Andre Ward has gone from an Olympic gold medalist, unproven at the professional ranks, to a pound star, while Carl Froch has proven himself as an elite fighter as well. The Super Six was a great, yet risky, move by Showtime. It has turned into a smashing success. Enjoy our content? Glen Johnson. The percentage of fan cards that disagree with an official result.

Dirrell was able to accurately land on Froch consistently throughout the fight, and the only real answer that Froch seemed to have was to get rough and turn it into a brawl in spurts.

I'm not saying it was a complete beat down. I'm not even saying it was the worst decision of all time Whittaker-Chavez. I'm just saying Dirrell won that fight and so Froch is lucky to even be here at this point. And give him credit--he's made the most of that break since. Okay, just to bring everybody who has bothered to read this far up to speed: Glen Johnson is the OTHER something professional boxer who is still competing at the very highest level in the pound range.

This fight would have tremendous crossover, mainstream appeal to aging baby boomers and Gen-Xers. They both have other fights lined up in front of them for the foreseeable future. But Hopkins and Johnson have both indicated a desire to keep fighting high-profile fights indefinitely, age be damned, and so far neither one has give any indication of being unable to keep performing in the ring.

It's not too hard to envision the stars that might need to align to make this one happen in the next couple of years. Froch does a great job of employing an active jab, and he puts some starch on it. This presents problems for a tough, pressure fighter like Johnson.

Froch is a brawler to be sure, but he's a world-class boxer, too. Along with a strong jab, Froch has very nice lateral footwork. Great jab, great lateral footwork--it's not too different than the game plan Chad Dawson used to earn two tough decisions over Johnson at light heavyweight.

While Froch is trying to move side to side and create angle, expect to see Johnson holding his position more often and using shoulder rolls and head bobs to lure Froch into a more stationary, punch-counter punch, kind of battle. Expect Johnson to slip inside early and often, so he can do what I predict he will do in the next slide coming up Johnson is a punishing body puncher.

Even in his first loss to Dawson, he was very effective attacking the body, which created openings on Dawson upstairs that nearly led to a 10th-round KO. Even when he was losing rounds on some scorecards during his fight against Allan Green, Johnson was softening Green up for the kill with his shots to the body.

Johnson knows that Froch is a younger, highly conditioned fighter who plans to push the tempo.
