The DQ will only make Abraham stronger.

    That allows him the abilitah to fight w/ his hands down.

    He's a poor man's version of Sergio Martinez in a way.
    That's fine...

    But I think you will agree with me on a few things.

    He can be hit.

    He can be dropped.

    He can be hurt.

    AA can knock you out cold.

      I doubt he will learn anything from last nights fight. He will still take off the early round and rely on his power to get the late kayo. I'm rooting for AA to take care of Froch but something is telling me that Froch is going to cause him major problems. If Crotch goes 3-0 we may have to reevaluate him.

        I just think eventually you continue to step up in competition... The fighters in this tournament are the best fighters he will have fought and at a new weight class, you can't just have one gameplan. The possibility of these fighters just outboxing and staying away is there, and if it happens you lose.

        And the blueprint is set on how to beat him.

        Easier said than done of course.

        I think he should do what street bully said and come out like a bat out of hell from now on.

        Start earlier and be more of a killer.

        But Froch's footwork looks like a dog on ice skates.
        That dog on skates beat the drunken giraffe in Nottingham 8-4.

          We've seen time and time again that the more skilled fighters don't always win. I know I sound like everybody else, but I don't think Abraham and Kessler are super skilled. They don't have athleticism like Ward or Dirrel does. And what puts Froch above both of Kessler and Abe in my opinion is his mental toughness. He doesn't complain to the ref about borderline low blows. And I don't think Calzaghe could've hurt him with a body punch like he did to Kessler. Froch is a mentally determined fighter despite what a lot of people think about his technical ability.

            Anything can happen with these two, but I lean on Carl because of his dynamic style.

              Haha, no way man. Froch didn't do ****, Dirrell won that fight. But we're definitely gonna have to agree to disagree on that one.

              And I also think AA will KO Froch easy. Froch when faced with a guy not punching back gets a little reckless trying to push the action. He does that against Abraham he's going to get ICED.

                It's exactly what he needs to do.

                At the very least, even a few rounds earlier would be better, 3 or 4 into the fight.

                    I don't know if dirrell was acting or not,one thing i know is that he wouldn't have survived round 12.

                      On the flipside for me..

                      I will be rooting for him 125% in his next fight... I hope he knocks Froch through the floor then back up through the ceiling Mortal Kombat style.
                      Reguardless of what you said after the bold and underline, you have to also be disgusted with Roy, Soto, Margo, and any other fighter the has hit a man while he was down...Right?
