    By blueprint I think Froch means, getting biased refs and hometown cooking.

      froch and dirrell are 2 different fighters. if he goes and tries 2 do what andre did, he will lose 4 sure.

One loss and so many people have already given up on AA: how fickle boxing fans truly are! I like both Froch and Arthur, but I think Arthur is going to stop Frochy no matter where the fight is held. Froch seems really jumpy and nerved-up about this fight already.
        he wasn't having a bad night or going to win, he completly got outbox which is what people assumed how you beat him anyways.

        i don't think froch will win either but who know froch has surprise us before

          I'd wager that in a rematch in Berlin, AA will KO Dirrell.

            I agree. It can affect the outcome, but I'll still go with Froch, I believe Abraham is an easier opponent than most people here think.
            I know, big statements, but I really believe that he'll get exposed.

              We'll see. They both are coming off their first loss, and the question is who responds better to the situation.

                Froch will try to box him on the outside as he did with Kessler, and it actually worked to some degree, he was able to dodge a lot of punches. I don't see Abaraham as the most accurate puncher nor the fastest puncher, but he is able to hit hard, still I'd say his punching power is extremely overrated and I think Froch can stand toe to toe with him, I actually see Froch winning this and I think it'll be more comfortable than many people think. It's a bet I'm gonna take for sure, unless it's in Germany.

                What's your thoughts?
                I don't know bro. Both are coming off the first loss of their careers. Nobody knows how they'll respond. Froch was in a particularly gruelling fight and he is about to be a father in a couple of weeks. How will that influence him?

                But as you say homefield could be crucial.

                  Anyone who's seen the Cobra in action will know that I outsped Andre Dirrell by some margin and would be able to put a boxing masterclass on Abraham.

                  With my slick skills and speed I'll make him look like he's in slo-mo.

                  You'll see why Joe Calzaghe retired rather than face me.

                    Abraham won't stand a chance against you!

                      We'll see. Actually before the Kessler fight I was pretty sure that one loss could destroy Froch, basicly because he think he is the decendant of SRR. But Abraham will be very small, much shorter reach, whereas Froch's long monkey arms can hit from all angels while Abraham will be tight in his guard, only erupting in the later rounds, possibly when it's too late. I won't predict it, but it wouldn't shock me if Abraham get's a couple of KD's during the fight. I really feel confident on this bet.
