I expect AA to be pretty pissed, and be more aggressive from the start then he usually is. If he is, I think he'll stop Froch by TKO in the late rounds or win a decision.
Don't know what to think about tis fight now. Dirrell makes everybody look bad so that's not the problem. I just think Froch might be better than I thought, and AA is pretty basic, even though he's real strong and hard to hit clean. I wouldn't be surprised if Froch does good on the back foot, controlling the distance with his jab.
You got it!

aa is gonna murk him....unless frochs power-size is enough to wear down abraham through his guard.....kinda like miranda in the first fight....that wont happen though....
AA will KO him......hell even early he can outjab froch if he fights like he should.....froch's flicked jab shouldnt be a problem for the type of guard aa has.......i can just see abraham step in to frochs jabs and walk him down......and if taylor and dirrell can hurt you, aa will KyouTFO(and rofl at the brits underestimating Dirrells power....and he didnt really hurt AA anyway...Dirrell clowned him and exposed AA's crap style, but Froch cant do that...)
If you wanna put it like that who did better against Taylor?
This is idiotic.
Froch finished J-Taylors career a year ago. Abraham faced the shot version of Taylor.
Style wise it's a bad fioght for Froch.
Even when he fights a technical good fight and let's the guy come to him his defense is way to leaky and he relies on his reflexes to much.
Abraham will KO him late while being possibly down on points.
Froch is a typical English/British fighter, Very one diamensional lacking overall boxing skills that gets exposed everytime they step up to worldclass or thier American/Mexican counterparts.
Froch like Hatton and other English fighters just dont have the intelligence that fighters like Mayweather, Ward, Dirrell have.
That being said British/English fighters only seem to ever win if they fight at home and get a gift decision such as Froch-Dirrell. When they leave the UK they get exposed as B-class fighters.
In my opinion, this fight will be won in the first six rounds. If Froch can keep behind his jab and not let the smaller Abraham get inside, then he should have enough points in the bag to win a decision on the cards. However, if he doesn't start fast and use his jab to full effect, then Abraham could sneak a few early rounds, and make a decision much closer.
agreed with this. froch will have to be very careful in the late rounds if abe knows he needs a ko so he'll have a hard time winning them. he's got to win big early on.
People seem to label Froch as a come forward, head first warrior. This assumption isn't completely true. He boxed against Kessler and used his jab to good effect throughout the fight. He did himself a lot of justice in that fight, and only narrowly lost. I predict Froch will win most of the early rounds in this fight. Abraham doesn't come out of the gates quick enough, and his low punch output in the early rounds, won't allow him to get inside of Froch's stiff jab and land anything of his own. However, around the 6th round when Abraham starts working, he will begin to land shots, and could even hurt Froch with his power. But Froch gives it as well as he takes it. If Abraham comes out of his tight shell, and exchanges with Froch, he could get hurt too. Dirrell put him down, and Froch has more than enough power to do the same.

if froch is cautious and doesn't open up abraham will go straight for him and put him to sleep. if he can keep the pressure up and put rounds in the bank, maybe he can hang on the last few rounds when abraham starts really throwing.
Froch either gets stopped or wins a decision. I'm going with the latter.
Abraham isn't active enough in the early rounds, allowing Froch to build an early lead, as he'll jab from behind his turtle shell defence. Froch will mainly hit gloves, but will lead on workrate. Abraham will then slowly come alive during the mid rounds. By this time, Froch will have mounted a good amount of rounds. It's the final 4 rounds which will be the most interesting. Should be a war of heart, hunger and aggression.
If Froch's chin holds out in the final rounds, he'll win a decision. Abraham isn't much faster then Froch in the hands department, has slow feet, and poor head movement, but a fantastic defence. Froch has no defense, and relies way too much on athletiscm, which isn't too great. The Cobra does have great stamina though.
I doubt Froch gets KO'ed, he's got a good chin. If Kessler/Dirrell/Taylor/Pascal couldn't do it why would Abraham?
.......please tell me this is sarcasm
Abraham TKO by the 8th
Froch just DOESN'T have the speed or head movement to avoid Abraham's big punches, Froch will show his toughness and strong chin but I think he will get cut and his corner will likely stop the punishment
you just cannot stand in front of Abraham and take his punches I don't care how good you THINK your chin is
It'll be a close fight. You just need to look at them to know that. Abraham isn't very busy, he's a good fighter but he's a plodder. Froch isn't busy either but he's heavy handed. Both are heavy handed. Both are resilient. I dont see any1 running away with this fight. Froch is being a b1tch saying he wont fight anywhere in Europe but Britain and continually trying to get the fight in Britain. So he doesnt think its fair to fight in Europe or Germany but he'll fight Abraham in UK? What a fking hypocrite! Annoying.
