Comments Thread For: Froch vs Abraham Set For August 21 in Nottingham

[Heru]

August seems like a quick flip for Froch, especially after the beatdown he's gonna catch against Kessler.

A 4 month schedule is great thought. Seeing these guys fighting 3 times a year is the ****.

the same way ward deserves his fights in the us after he head butted and elbowed his way to a win

funny but true, you know this wasn't always the way Ward fought. Looks like he took a page from Bernard Hopkins.

Why is everyone counting Kessler out!?!?!?
Kessler came in co-favorite and now hes an underdog?

[Mr. Philadel]

dam....I was hoping it was gonna be in Germany!!

[Tiozzo]

Don't over exaggerate. It was a close fight, get over it. Froch won, and if he beats Kessler, he deserves a fight at home.

It won't matter, AA will knock him out anyway.

[Tiozzo]

At least Ward wasnt robbed.
Dirrell was screwed over in the UK since the moment he arrived.
Abraham better knock Froch out, or Froch is getting the nod even if he goes down in every other round.

Don't worry, AA knocks his opponents out even when he loses. Remember ?

[Tiozzo]

I want to know when Ward will get his ass out of Oakland.

I've never seen a fighter headbutt an opponent five times and not be warned once.

Disgraceful.

im sorry but what fight were you watching, replays clearly showed 8 head buts and 4 elbows!

yet people have the nerve to complain about fights in Britain lol ignore the oakland joke

The idiots can't even agree. 5 times, 8 times, 12 times ? elbows ?



The facts are the facts : Kessler was cut by 2 headbutts, and by one punch. get out of here with thise ridiculous numbers, it was not a Bernard Hopkins fight

They should have made it neutral territory

Nobody gets the decision in Nottingham or O2.

Look for a KO win

Win or lose, with all his acting, running, slipping, sliding and falling all over the place, crying, etc. etc., Andre "Gumby" Dirrell has to be doing well in the running for the most annoying fighter of all time.

What would be better is for Green vs. Ward to be in Greens hometown (whereever that is). Ward having all his fights in Oakland isn't fair at all.

Disagree. Green's hometown is in Oklahoma. I don't think they have ever enough interest in boxing in the state to make it worthwhile. Plus nobody knows who Green is. Had Taylor beaten Abraham he would have gotten a fight at home or a neutral site against Ward. Since Green had to step in the only way to make the fight profitable is to make it a home fight for Ward.

Also, why do you keep saying Ward is having all his fights in Oakland when Shaw has clearly stated he is not going to allow Ward to fight at home against Dirrell?

I thought we talked about this already?
