The venue and the fight date are not finalized, but super middleweight Carl Froch is planning to test the chin of Arthur Abraham when they face off in the third stage of Showtime's Super Six tournament. Froch isn't confident that Abraham is able to take the monster shots of a true super middleweight. Abraham moved up to the weight last fall after spending most of his career at 160-pounds.

In the first stage of the tournament he knocked out Jermain Taylor. The second stage saw Abraham get disqualified for hitting Andre Dirrell while he was down. Neither Taylor or Dirrell are big punchers at the weight. Froch is known for his size and power and plans to use those advantages in the fight.

"Abraham is a class act with a decent dig on him and I won't be taking him lightly at all. But the truth is, Abraham will sit behind a tight guard for the lion's share of the rounds, exploding into life here and there occasionally. If he opens up then sure it could end up being a shoot-out, but whilst he can hit himself....what big punchers has he faced to date at the weight?" questioned Froch during an interview with livefight.com.

Froch would later go after Abraham's promoter Kalle Saulerland of Sauerland Event. He is upset over Kalle's recent comments regarding Abraham-Froch being the type of fight where the judges are not a factor, so the location of where the fight takes place should not be a huge issue. Froch and Abraham have yet to finalize their date because the two camps are fighting over where the fight should take place. Froch is made over what he claims was handshake deal with Kalle, to stage the fight with Abraham in the UK.

"But with regards Kalle talking about venues and judges, he should leave the fighting talk down to the fighters. Kalle don't look like he could knock the skin of a rice pudding. The fake shaker." said Froch. "That guy is not qualified to talk about what may unfold in our fight. He should get permission from daddy before he ever discusses another boxing match again. His birth certificate is an apology from the condom factory. He is the monkey and Wilfried is the organ.... grinder."
