Froch doesn’t plan on standing in front of Johnson on June 4th
May 30th, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: It’s hard to believe it but WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (27-1, 20 KO’s) says he’s going to box 42-year-old slugger Glen Johnson (51-14-2, 35 KO’s) rather than slugging with him on June 4th in their Super Six tournament semifinals bout at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey. If anyone has ever taken the time to see Froch’s fights, they’ll immediately notice that Froch isn’t particularly light on his feet nor is he fast of hand.
Froch said this at the independent.co.uk: “I would be stupid to stand in front of him [Johnson] and have a tear-up. I’vbe been involved in my fair share of brawls, but I’m not looking to do that this time. It will be hit and not get hit, a boxing masterclass.”
Oh brother, now I’ve heard it all. That’s like saying Froch is suddenly not going to be Froch and turn into a talent like Andre Dirrell on June 4th. Sorry, Froch, but you can’t do that. You are what you are. Froch has to be happy just wearing the skin that he came into the Super Six tournament wearing. He change his style overnight to be un-hittable. That’s just not going to happen, and I hope for Froch’s sake he doesn’t try and stink up the joint by trying to run because he’ll lose for sure. At least if he fights in his old plodding style, he has a chance to win if he can tire Johnson out.
I don’t see it happening, but there’s at least a chance Froch can win. But if he starts spoiling and looking to not get hit against Johnson, then I see Froch losing like he did against Mikkel Kessler. And then we’ll probably have to hear Froch belly-aching about the loss for ages, saying he should have won the fight. Yeah, yeah, I know the deal, Froch.

this sshould be good to watch.Two warriors Going head on to the final with the favorite being,not of the winner of this one,but Ward will have to be at his best to take the winner of this one.
You have been belly-aching about Dirrell’s loss for ages.
If Froch loses, you will go on to write “I told you so”, but if Froch wins, you will not give him any credit. Why is that?
At least try to be impartial and objective when you make a pre-fight analysis. No article can be 100% objective and there will always be some subjectiveness, but you come across as being very hateful towards anyone who represents the UK most of the time. Try to be neutral towards all nationalities and may peace be with you.
dont think for one second froch will try and fight johnson on the back foot. instead i see froch fighting alot like he did in the pascal fight and see a u.d in his faver.
smart plan. he got too caught up in that “warrior” mentality that served him well at the lower levels of the pros…then got a bit exposed at the elite levels. he is actually a very solid boxer when he wants to be. if he sticks to boxing he will beat johnson easy. if he doesn’t; he won’t.
johnsons last fight was like watching arthur abraham,he just walked forward wit a tight defense letting power shots go wen close enough.and as far as i remember didnt froch hit n move and avoid getting hit by arthur abraham so i think its actually laughable dat sum people cant see froch doin de same again dis time.at 1/4 in de bookies i think its free money lumping on carl
If you go by what this guy says im surprised Froch has ever won a fight in his life. It shows you how bad Dirrell must be. Correct me if im wrong but didnt he lose to Froch

Jesus Scott Gilfoid you are the biggist plank to ever walk the earth You are a complete fool .Jean pascal andre dirrel jermain taylor mikkel kessler arthur abraham and now glen johnson and then andre ward is there a better port folio of fights out there at the moment .In a world of supposed super fights that never happen surely froch should be given hero status for fighting anyone anywhere As for this week i can see glen johnson being pulled out in the later rounds by his corner after taking a battering
Start the campaigne now! I urge everyone to stop writing on this mans articles. Boxing news will drop him. Spread the word on other writers articles
and Leave this man blank.
