The key to Johnson beating Froch: Hit him as hard as possible with every punch
May 25th, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: In making an in-depth study of WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (27-1, 20 KO’s) and past fights, I’ve noticed that Froch shows his vulnerability when he’s hit hard by fighters loading up with their shots. We saw Froch staggered twice by Andre Dirrell in the past, dropped by Jermain Taylor, hurt by Mikkel Kessler and momentarily hurt by Arthur Abraham. This tells me that Froch is vulnerable when getting smashed to the head.
So, the key to beat Froch is for Johnson to use every ounce of his energy in every punch and look to knock Froch out. Froch’s chin isn’t as sturdy as people think and I can’t see him taking more than a couple of rounds of hard shots from Johnson without either going down or heading for the hills and running. When faced with a guy that doesn’t mind getting hit hard himself, Froch is going to be be like a guy floundering at sea. He’s not going to know what to do and will quickly lose his senses and start running. If Froch gets stubborn about it and tries to trade, Johnson will have him right where he wants him and will clock him with one of his power shots and leave Froch crawling around on the canvas wondering what happened. As Dirrell showed, if you hit Froch hard, he gets hurt. This is what Johnson needs to focus on doing. You tag Froch with everything you got with every shot, and he’ll either run or go down. Either way, Johnson wins.

Hmm wonder Scott thinks of Froch’s chin now!! Took Johnson’s best shots without flinching and dished out his own!!
Humble pie tastes good methinks!!
this is what happens when you teach a pactard to write.

The work of a true genious!…
News flash to Scott Gilfoid:
Not to sure what fights you’ve watched of Froch but he was never staggered by Dirrell, wasn’t hurt by Kessler, wasn’t hurt by AA and only suffered a flash knock down after getting hit behind the ear by Taylor but was never hurt. I don’t know why you feel the need to make up blatant lies about Froch over and over again. Froch has never really been staggered or hurt in any fights that Iv’e seen him in and I’ve followed his whole career. In my opinion the guy has one of the best chins in boxing so to suggest he’s vulnerable is laughable.
I see a hard fought fight for both.Talent wise we have a draw.Power wise we have a draw.Work rate we have a slight edge for Froch becauwse he fights much like Johnson but I believe his youth plus a better jab gives Froch a slight edge.
hahahaha
1. froch has one of the best chins in the world atm
2. i love the fact that a gameplan could potentially be to ‘hit sum1 in the head as hard as they can’
3. scott u r a genius….i think u shud an advisor to freddie roach, ur gameplans are unheard of
The word Gilfoid soon to be in the dictionary at this rate. Youre the quisling of boxing
What this writer knows about boxing could be chiselled on the pointed end of a shirt pin and still leave room for the Lords Prayer.
i have been asking Gilfraud to do a article on froch having a weak chin for months ! iv needed a good laugh ! and yes it has made my day
@ the truth – that comment was quality !
Genius article. No need for Johnson to do any training then, all he has to do is hit him hard. If only his trainer had this writer’s supreme knowledge. Amazing.
“This tells me that Froch is vulnerable when getting smashed to the head.”
You had to complete an in depth study to come to that conclusion? It’s taken me 30 seconds to conclude that:
a) you don’t know what you are talking about
b) Johnson is vunerable when getting smashed to the head too.
When nuclear bombs start going off after the onset of world war 3, I’m diving for cover behind Carl Froch’s chin. It’s that good. When I want to feel my brain cells fitting out of sheer confusion after reading complete guff, I will read an article produced by Scott Gilfoid.
Seriously, who let this kid loose on a computer?
is this true? do boxers try to hit eachother hard in the head? how unusual! im not watching this sport any more
billy i coundnt have said it any better myself. scott stop writing
Scott Gilfoid- remember the name folks. He will go down in sports writing history for having absolutely no knowledge or insight into how this sport works. If the editor is reading… For crying out loud just hurry up and sack this dopey fool! A 10 year old could have written this article for all we know. Scott are you a child? I hope so because otherwise there is absolutely no excuse for the foolishness of this article.
carl froch aka best chin in boxing, he will DEFO take johnsons power no matter how tough the road warrior maybe. surely we can get some sort of petition going to rid this site of the muppets that are gilfoid and mackay aka the anti english brigade !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Id be impressed Scott if you could name a fighter who isnt “vulnerable when getting smashed to the head”. You really are a muppet.
scott give up ur always have the wrong pridictions i noticed u go for the yank boxer all the time or black boxer give up u shouldent be writing for boxing news 24
Haha, vulnerable to hard headshots! You are a fool of the highest order. Who isn’t? Froch is known for his indestructible chin and has been smashed hard and often before. He has been down but not hurt. He’ll smash this fool like sex clients smash your mum.
Ha, ha, ha … pure comedy !
Johnson too much power for Froch to stand in there with him … don’t make me laugh. Froch is the one embued with natural ruggidness and a granite chin. He is also a very strong boy at the weight. Johnson is coming back down to this weight and doing this kind of thing at his age means that he is weakening himself quite worryingly, in my opinion ? I see Froch laying quite a beating on the plodder, Johnson. I also predict a late stoppage of Johnson by Froch.
Are you sure this isn’t Bert Sugar?
Scott my man, you are a pure genius. Only you would know that if you smash a guy in the head with every punch, you can actually hurt a man.
johnson to beat froch. big suprise. wait and see.
Johnson will be road kill.
cant belive what i just read. The stratgey of beating him is punching him hard?
Awesome article again Scott…… Training genius to the sports elite! Your talents are wasted just writing about boxing.
I have been reading this idiot for months now without commenting but this is too much. Frick has never been knocked out or even looked like being knocked out and has fought the best fighters out there. Gilfoid just writes to aggravate and he has succeeded this time. Absolute joke of a writer
Talk about stating the bleeding obvious.. Tit
gilfraud, you should be banned from even writing about this particular fight any more, in case you get the prediction wrong! Cant wait to see your next article after the fight when johnson loses!
Yes like Dirrell showed if you hit Froch hard he still wins.
Never commented before on any article on here but just had to on this one. To suggest g that Froch cannot take a shot has to be blind or not watched any of his fights. Probably one of the best chins i have seen in boxing. He has other weaknesses but his chin is one of his strengths. What is this writing on, articles get worse with every post…
gilfraud should have been a trainer.
