    @TheARMAProductions Nationalism aside, did you really think Froch did well against Dirrell?
    And on the contrary, plenty of us yanks like Brit boxers and wish Froch well in the finals. I just worry Ward's style will make it difficult for Froch, then again the reverse may be true as well...
    But I do have to say, I would be surprised if Haye beats Wlad. Hopefully he doesn't call off the fight again...
    Here's to Froch and Ward, may the best champion win.

    @dorielementary As it turned out, Froch was faster. He took Glens hardest punches then combo'd him back instantly. I've seen your comments all over the threads and you seem to have it in for British fighters lol. Understimate us at your preil! It's not long now before Haye KO's Wlad :)

    I can rememeber all the slagging off Froch faced after the Dirrell (aka pansy) fight lol. It must hurt them to know that Froch is now a finalist :0

    Just give it a couple of weeks and the haters will be back to make yet another fail prediction of Froch vs Ward lulz

    @RemofRenaissance glen has never been ko'd the last time he was stopped however was in 97 against hopkins....hopkins worked him over and the fight was stopped in the 11th round.

  7. RemofRenaissance says June 17, 2011 at 12:15 PM

    @Brandonian3030 So it is true he lost to Clinton Woods?! DAMN. Seriously though he seems like a good guy and both these guys are warriors so it should be a good fight. I did notice that Glen also had a 3 fight winning streak that included Woods, Roy Jones (when he was OK) and Tarver. I would like to see how Froch plans to keep Glen away for the full 12 rounds as I can't see Glen being knocked down. Actually when was the last time Glen was KO'd?

    Carl to win this whole little game... but if Glen did, it would be fun.

  9. landreev says June 23, 2011 at 5:59 AM

    Johnson is going to win !

  10. dorielementary says June 26, 2011 at 3:07 AM

    If Froch thinks he's faster and stronger than Glenn Johnson he is in for a rude awakening!

  11. JDezi4 says June 28, 2011 at 7:48 AM

    Woah.... Is that animosity I'm seeing?

    Froch says that same shit every fight "Well, u know I'm in there with a guy that wants my belt, so it's as simple as that"....

    Say something new

  12. Brandonian3030 says June 28, 2011 at 8:53 AM

    @RemofRenaissance Johnson lost to alot of people he shouldnt have, close decisions and rip off's have been common throughout his career.....

  14. ILUVBOXING1 says July 2, 2011 at 8:02 PM

    GO ON GLEN JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. RibenaSpring says July 3, 2011 at 5:44 PM

    @MortalSyntax so will the cobra!

  16. RemofRenaissance says July 4, 2011 at 11:21 AM

    I meant to finish with it was in 2006 though and wiki is known for occasionally having inaccuracies. Had so much disbelief that I hit the post button by accident.

  17. RemofRenaissance says July 6, 2011 at 7:27 AM

    Ok I'll admit I'm from the UK so I'm biased and want Froch to win, I was thinking that this will no doubt be a tough fight and Glen Johnson should in no way be seem as an underdog but then I checked om wikapedia and saw he has a loss to Clinton Woods? Is that right? No disrespect but Froch is a different league to Clinton Woods. Infact does anyone here even remember Clinton Woods? It was in 2006 toa bs

  19. Chill1G says July 11, 2011 at 7:45 PM

    I don't know how it was determined that Froch is stronger than Glen Johnson. After all, Glen Johnson is the one that has been campaigning at 175 for a long time. I personally don't see Froch being able to handle the all-night pressure of Glen Johnson. If you think Johnson will fight like Abraham, then you must not have seen Johnson fight. I think Froch is a little over-confident.

  20. DSPBoxing says July 13, 2011 at 2:22 PM

    @Rep843 Jean Pascal hits harder than Johnson he is also faster and Carl beat Pascal around the ring its not like he hasn't seen this before obviously Glens right hand presents a problem but in all honestly theres to many miles on the road for the warrior now...

  21. ANTPHRESSH89 says July 15, 2011 at 8:02 PM

    glen johnson will beat froch sorry people

  22. MrRapcentral says July 16, 2011 at 8:29 PM

    Froch alot stronger than Johnson fuck off a think Froch will struggle
    with Johnson might have 12 losses but the guy is no mug

  23. Rep843 says July 17, 2011 at 5:24 PM

    johnson is much better faster and bigger than abraham and might knock froch out if they slug it out

  24. JoeKoBoxing says July 17, 2011 at 7:13 PM

    Big Froch fan but cant see him completly dominating Johnson, he is completly different to Abraham and throws punches no stop and keeps coming foward.
