IMO hes making a BIG mistake.
Abraham has said his biggest tool is his will to win.
Wouldnt you love to beat some1 whos talking lots of ****?
I hope Froch is ready to back all this trash up cause Abraham is gonna bring it come nov 27th..
No, that's just Froch's style.
I would actually be worried if he didn't talk trash. I would think he's afraid or something.
War Froch :boxing::boxing::boxing::boxing:
Froch has the tools to win, if he'd stay on the outside and box, but that simply isn't Froch. He will go to war, and when that happens we all know Abraham is going to win that war. Abraham will block 98 percent of what comes at him and Froch is there to be hit.
Froch is tireless and as long as he is punching Abraham won't be. He's never thrown a counterpunch in his life, which is the worst style against The Cobra.
Guys with a lot less toughness than Froch have lasted against Abraham, Froch is gonna beat this guys ass.
Biggest advantage to Froch is that is Abraham starts fighting dirty and whining to the ref he will be happy to cheap shot Abraham's sorry ass in retaliation. He won't get suckered into being a nice guy like Dirrell did when Abraham stops paying attention to cry to the ref, he might just knock Abe out when he isn't looking.

Froch is doing the smart thing by riling Abraham up.
Abraham proved in the Dirrell fight that he is a mental midget who falls apart at the first sign of distress.
Froch is gonna be in his head before the fight even starts and if AA fights even dumber and wilder than he normally does he will probably get beaten up badly.
It's hilarious that Abraham talks about his will to win being his biggest strength as a fighter. Where was his will to win against Andre Dirrell when he was doing f*ck all and getting his ass kicked all over the ring for 9 rounds?
I don't think fighting hard for 1 minute in one round, and then cheapshotting your opponent in the next round when you are unable to land a follow up punch shows much mental strength.
Froch - 26 Wins (20 Knockouts, 6 Decisions), 1 Loss, 0 Draws
Abraham - 31 Wins (25 knockouts, 6 decisions), 1 Loss, 0 Draws
Very similar records bar the obvious 5 fight gap.
Both coming in off their first "defeats" after both recently knocking out Taylor very late in their respective fights... the comparisons are strikingly similar.
Very close to call imo, the more I think about it Froch's low guard could be his downfall, but if they trade early I can see an early to mid KO for either fighter... either way it's gonna be a spectacle worth tuning in for.
Well, at some time He's going to have to back it up and IMO He's just creating more presure for himself. AA is smarter staying quiet and letting Cobra dig his own hole.
I have AA on this one.
Well if he is trying to lure AA out of his normal defensive gameplan would that be good or bad for Froch if he succeeds?
I think it would be a good thing. Froch loves a tear up, and an Abraham that isn't sat behind his guard for 8 rounds, is a much easier opponent to hit. I can imagine Abraham trying to prove a point early by coming out swinging, and the taller Froch landing some painful jabs and uppercuts as Abraham abandons his shell.
Whatever happens, it's going to be an amazing spectacle while it lasts.
IMO hes making a BIG mistake.

Team Froch will bring home WBC belt.
hope so mate...
trash talk won't make any odds come the time of the fight, it's very rare that any real malice or harm is genuinely meant in anything most fighters say.... just hype building and one upmanship.
I hope Carl regains the title, he deserves the success imo. Plus I'll be a miserable cunt all day on the Sunday if he loses haha
Arthur Abraham has been in the ring with exactly two (that's 2) world class opponents. The first one tore his face half way off. The second time he got schooled, humilated, and disqualified.
This is a guy who ducked Fulgencio Zuniga so he could defend his middleweight title against the great Elvin Ayala! The same Elvin Ayala who got obliterated by David Lemiex in one round. wtf:
This is the guy who went the distance with Shannon Taylor one fight after Taylor got brutally stopped by Raymond Joval.
Same guy who went the distance with Lujaun Simon. The same Lujaun Simon who was living off Bronco McKart's left overs.
I have never understood the Arthur Abraham fetish that so many boxing fans are afflicted with. He is probably the most over rated fighter since a Sean O'Grady pre-Lopez-Gannigan.
Since I think trash talk plays very little into the outcome of the fight, but does help the promotion of the fight I'd say no. I'd say it's a good thing.
