Froch-Johnson on 5/21 at the O2 Arena, in London
January 29th, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: It’s looking like Glen Johnson (51-14-2, 35 KO’s) is going to have to travel to England on May 21st to face WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (27-1, 20 KO’s) at the O2 Arena, in Greenwich, London. I don’t like this for Johnson. I think he’s going to have problems in this fight if he doesn’t score a knockout. Froch was able to win a controversial 12 round decision over Andre Dirrell while fighting at home in England in his first fight in the Super Six tournament in 2009.
If Johnson is smart, he’ll have a hissy fit about the Froch fight taking place in England and will refuse to fight there. The fight needs to take place in a neutral country like the United States. They need to place the fight in Las Vegas, and put someone like Jay Nady in there to make sure no extracurricular activities go on in terms of fouling from Froch. Nady is a tough referee that doesn’t stand for fouling. If Froch gets rough, Nady will nip that in the bud quickly by penalizing Froch until he’s playing nice.

All Dirrell did was cuddle Froch. He was a typical over hyped American. Froch may not be the most pretty boxer to watch but you won’t find a tougher boxer. Anybody who has had dealing’s with Froch will tell you that he is hard as nails. I like Glen Johnson he’s a real warrior and an ambassador to the sport but lets be honest, he’s in the same category as Roy Jones and Evander holyfield now, former legends who need to be saved from themselves. This is a mismatch I’m afraid and I just hope the referee doesn’t let Froch hit him for 12 rounds.

Haha, im fully behind you louis!
Froch rightfully getting the decision against a cowardly Dirrell really hurt you Scott didn’t it!
Froch is due a fight at home anyway just as Ward is long overdue a FAIR fight away from Oakland. A fan or two might actually turn up to watch him too if he travels and keeps his head to himself!
wait till i find out who gilfoid is ive got people workin on it am gonna smash ya face in u nob
froch is the champ surely that means the challenger has to travel to the champs hometown to fight him. Obviously in gilfoids view its different for brits. but if an overhyped and overrated yank fighter wants to fight at home then he must get because if he doesn’t he’ll just avoid the fight.
The cobra to win KO 6
Froch is the best Brit fighter by far. He better not under estimate the old buzzard because he will put the pressure on the Cobra. Should be a great fight.
Oh look out Gilfraud giving advice that means the opposite thing will happen!! Froch will EASE this! Too much venom in the cobra’s hands! BOOOOOOM!
