Comments Thread For: Carl Froch: "I'll Beat Arthur Abraham Quite Easily"

[twosweethooks]

First the Dirrell in the Abe fight would no doubt in my mind whipped Froch handily, just made him look terrible.

The fight I don't want to miss is Froch vs Abraham ! That fight will take place in the third round sad to say. Abe is gonna have to learn how to get out of that late start. I say Abe starts up by the third and will have him KO'd by the fourth round.

It will be a war, nobodys running in this fight. Abe has the best guns, left and right, has a great chin. That knockdown was a balance shot in the Dirrell fight.

Hoping Dirrell is doing Good !

I think AA needs to work on his work-rate a bit. I mean now everyone thinks they can just beat AA but outworking him by constantly throwing punches.

And the way AA fought, well he fights like that too much in his fights. Yes, AA has the power to change a fight but fights do go the distance and 12 rounds sometimes. You can't knock everyone out you fight.

If Froch's plan is to just outwork him I think he will end up being KO'd. In my opinion Dirrell is a much better boxer than Froch, with better defense and much better lateral movement which was very helpful in the last 6 rounds of the AA fight. Coming straight at AA throwing punches is the worst possible style to beat him and that's pretty much all froch does. And froch was dropped by taylor and his punch output and stamina has not really impressed me, he's nothing like a Margs, he can't come forward taking punches and throwing them nonstop.

First Dirrell fought AA different then he fought Froch because of AA style.He knew he could punch and move away fromm AA not like with Froch.Froch keeps his hand's down ready to deliver a punch of his own that's why Dirrell was running from early in the fight.AA does have power in both hand's and a good chin.SO DOES FROCH when have you seen Froch in trouble and he has been in with some good punchers No?

I don't know why people wanna keep saying AA will knock Froch out?I have never even seen Froch in trouble have you?

He was in trouble in his previous 2 fights...
Taylor floored him and stunned him (and would have outpointed him),Dirrell stunned him 2 times(and plenty of people believe that Dirrell won).
Abraham hits harder than both of these guys.They will both be in front of one another and trading at some point.
If we made the comparison of both fighters that fought similar opponents,then we will see that Taylor never once was able to hurt Abraham (yet he staggered and knocked Froch down),and though Dirrell knocked down Abraham 2 times-he was still not hurt (yet Dirrell had enough power to hurt Froch a few times).

Now styles make fights,They both never strayed away from their styles against different styles-they handle every fighter the same way.Both fighters do not look for a points win-they look for the stoppage as a result.I believe Abraham has more power and a better punch resistance,as well as defense and slightly faster hands.
By the later rounds in fights,Carl doesn't seem as powerful in contrast to Abraham-I believe Arthur paces himself better and maintains his power throughout.
Unless Carl has learned to box and has learned to use lateral movement-he will always be in reach of Abraham with his arms down....there is no other way to place my money apart from an Abraham win,most likely by stoppage (and if by some weird reason it was going to the score-cards,I would say it is possible for Abraham to look more effective in the rounds due to Carl's lack of defense).

Honestly Froch needs to worry about getting passed MK, then worry about AA.
As we've clearly seen, AD is the only one in this tourny that has a chance to outbox AA. (Even though if they met again, AA will get his vengeance!) Froch is no AD. Granted he is skilled, but he has zero chance of "knocking AA out." (especially with Arthurs defence).

Ward is a better boxer than Dirrell.
Abraham needs to stay clear of the Americans(except Green)

WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch predicts a knockout win over Mikkel Kessler in the second stage of the Super Six tournament on April 24 in Denmark. The fight in the third stage of the tournament will have Froch taking on Arthur Abraham. Size sometimes matters, says Froch. He thinks the smaller Abraham will take a pounding when the two of them are matched. [Click Here To Read More]

kessler knocks froch out in 8.
froch can beat AA.
Pavlik would crush them both.

dirrel was close to finishing AA, yes he lost the 10th round but came back solid in the 11th and was in no danger before slipping to one knee, a second knee then getting hammered by a douchebag AA.
froch gets knocked out by kessler but may be able to beat AA due to Aa's terrible work rate and giving away rounds.
AA doesnt have a great chin, hence the iron arm/glove peek a boo defense.
there is a reason he tries to never leave himself exposed and never opens up.
dirrel knocked him down twice and dirrel is a solid puncher but not a power puncher.
i think pavlik crushes AA in 4 rounds.

Sorry but Pavlik looked garbage both times he ventured north of 160, one of those against a guy he'd already sparked out. I'd favor anyone in the super 6 to beat him, except maybe Green.

i saw a shot taylor buzz him more than a few times and even knocked him down, if taylor wasnt shot he would have finished him, but at that physical point in his career not only was his killer instinct gone, but his physical ability to do it was too.

dirrel put on a boxing lesson on AA
i was quiet impressed

Froch was in trouble with Taylor. Froch is just two wide open with hands going everywhere , down up , swinging crazy with zero defense. Abe needs Roach to help him get out of that 5 round give away program he has.

I never pulled for Abe. I don't jive with the clown suits fighters put on like the fake wrestlers. But I am seeing a simular picture between Abe and Marciano. Not the same but simular. Both are smaller but very strong looking. Both are very strong. Both had KO power in either hand. Neither were pretty boxers. Abe was faster that Marciano. Neither will quit. Marciano was losing the first Walcott fight on points when the big punch came in round 13. If Abe had a 15 round fight with Dirrell that same punch might have come for him in the insuing rounds. Marciano Cracked the jaw with a vicious right and down goes Walcott but while down he cracked him for good measure with a left hook, WOW ! Would he have been disqualified today ? In both Walcott and Dirrell fights illegal blows took place but I say it was the Heat of the Battle.

I say Abe in a rematch will find a way to pick it up and KO Dirrell. I like Dirrell, but he falls down all the time especially in the last two fights. Whats up with that ? Bad balance ! That helped get him that bad shot.

Abe and AW in the Finals.
