Carl Froch has still vowed to go to war with Arthur Abraham in the third state of the Super Six Boxing Classic on October 2 in Monaco. Froch plans to make it a war, like his recent decision loss to Mikkel Kessler in the second stage of the Super Six. He doesn't want the fight to end up like his close points win over Andre Dirrell, which took place in the first stage.
"Wheras the Dirrell fight lacked the excitement of my usual fights, the Kessler fight delivered it in spades. Unfortunately the judging didn't go my way that night. But against Abraham we're gonna have the right blend of excitement for the fans plus the win in the bag," Froch said to the Nottingham Post.
Froch says he won't allow Abraham to use his tight defense to coast rounds. He is going to put a lot of pressure on him in every round to force a war.
"I'm a bigger puncher than Dirrell and won't let Arthur off the hook nor coast to a points win. I will make him wilt under the punches that I'll rain down on him. I'm already ticking over in the gym and will put the foot down at my training camp in Sheffield in August to ensure I'm at the peak of my powers, before heading out there the week before the fight."
