By Dan Ambrose: Dan Rafael of ESPN is reporting that the Super Six semifinal bout between WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (27, 20 KO’s) and 42-year-old Glen Johnson (51-14-2, 35 KO’s) will be taking place on June 4th at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The fight was previously scheduled for May 21st but has been moved back two more weeks to the June 4th. It probably doesn’t matter all that much, although it’s probably not a good thing for Froch and Johnson that they will have been out of the ring for six and seven months by the time they do end up fighting.

Froch last fought, 33, back on November 27th when he defeated Arthur Abraham by a one-sided 12 round decision. Froch looked good in the fight and used his size to dominate the shorter Abraham and pound out a unanimous decision. This was the easiest fight for Froch by far.

Johnson recently moved down from light heavyweight to take on Allan Green on November 6th, stopping him by an 8th round TKO.

Froch is the younger fighter compared to Johnson. However, Johnson is the much more experienced guy and is used to throwing a lot of punches in wars at close range. Froch doesn’t fight well on the inside and is more of medium range type fighter. He has to keep Johnson on the outside to win because Froch’s game isn’t made for grueling inside wars. This is going to be a lot tougher fight for Froch compared to his last bout against Abraham and you can’t count Johnson out in this one.
