The Super Six World Boxing Classic semifinal between super middleweight titlist Carl Froch (27-1, 20 KOs) and Glen Johnson (51-14-2, 35 KOs), originally scheduled for May 21, is moving to a new date, likely June 4, Johnson co-promoter Leon Margules told ESPN.com. Showtime is not anxious to butt heads with a major HBO card the same night that features the Jean Pascal-Bernard Hopkins light heavyweight championship rematch. Margules said the site is still up in the air, but the leading contenders are Quebec City and Atlantic City, N.J. “It could be either of them,” Margules said. “Atlantic City became a player when the Nonito Donaire fight that was supposed to be there fell through.” Top Rank had planned to do a Donaire fight in Atlantic City in conjunction with Caesars Atlantic City on May 28, but that is off now that Donaire has jumped to rival Golden Boy Promotions. Regardless of what happens in the eventual lawsuit over the move, if Donaire still fights May 28, it will be on the West Coast, leaving Caesars to look for another significant early summer fight.

I say Froch beats the old man on points I don’t think he can k.o. Johnson if he does it will be by cut. I see the old man being competitive for the first six and gases by round 7 or 8 and loses a unanimous decision to Froch.
