Froch 167.5lb , Johnson 166.5lb

hmmmmm, interesting. i would have thought Johnson would be closer to the limit than Froch. i can't wait for this fight, i really think it is going to be a classy but brutal affair. both are likeable fighters, of course i pledge my allegiance to Froch and still believe he is going to put a beating on the old man. Froch needs to start with a busy workrate though if he wants this to happen and sustain it for 12 rounds. i think he has every chance of doing this. it's unbelievable that Johnson has managed to make the 168lb limit so comfortably after almost 10 years at the higher division and at the ripe old age of 42. i'll be keen to know what he weighs in come fight time, do Showtime keep track of that??

I don't know, but one pound is a crap before the weigh in. I'm not concerned with it. I think Carl's conditioning is such that he comes in regularly 1/2 pound under.
