Comments Thread For: Abraham vs Froch Now Pushed Back To October 2?

[Blue Heffner]

I blame Hennesey for not having a contractual agreement on the location. A verbal location means **** in Boxing, especially with Sauerland at the helm.

Froch knows he ain't knocking Abraham out, so a decision is his only way. In Germany, he ain't getting that. If Abraham was so confident in knocking Froch out as much as his fans are, it shouldn't bother him where the fight takes place. Something tells me both men have a little fear of each other and don't want to take too much a risk.

Yeah, they both do have a little fear. Fear that the fight will go to decision and they won't get a fair shake. They are both coming off their first loss so that could be ****ing with them mentally. Neutral grounds is the best way to go.

This big nosed whining b itch will cry until the fight will happen in Nottingham and then he will trashtalk up to the fight informing everyone that he will KO AA in the 3 RD's..if you plan to KO the guy, why don't you accept the fight wherever it may be?
I suggest the fight to be staged in Israel, "neutral" ground in a way, but they will love Froch over there

Lol.
Did you just make a *** Joke?

Lol.
Did you just make a *** Joke?

I'm pretty sure BOTH of them will be welcome there.

the super six is great but its taking WAY too long they cant jus give in every time a fighter says he needs more time they need 2 check the issue thurraly TOO MANY DELAYS! that makes 3 already and were barely in the second round!

Love that Froch doesn't cite his B.S. decision against Dirrell as a point of home crowd favoritism. He lost to Kessler, and he needs to get over it. He was out matched by an aging fighter. Kessler beat him up, but Abraham, coming off an asswhopping, will put him down. Froch should just shut up and take the fight because it's not going to end with Froch taking a long nap in the mid rounds if not sooner.

I don't think it's fair that Abraham get another home fight either so the fight should be on nutural territory Froch is right about that but he needs to quit crying about his loss to Kessler becuase he loss the fight, he forgets about how he robbed Dirrell in his hometown! He wasn't complaining about home town decisions then! This tournament is taking way to long I can tell you that!

[MarcianoFan]

I thought he had a draw with Dirrell although based on styles I was sorta happy he won because if everyone fought like Dirrell did in that fight I would not be a boxing fan. Granted, by rounds I would have found it easier to see Dirrell winning than Froch, but I still had it a draw and I stand by it. I also thought Froch beat Kessler, but way too narrowly to expect a decision in Denmark. I had it 115-113, but it definitely could have gone either way. Not a robbery...but the 117-111 judge was not being fair.

On balance I'd say Forch gained an undeserved point for the win rather than the draw against Dirrell and lost 2 points he could have won based on the Kessler loss. I am all for a neutral site fight. Canada sounds like the best option to me. Continental Europe wouldn't be fair to Froch and UK wouldn't be fair to Abraham. I don't know what Sauerland has against Vegas, but US, Canada, and Scandinavia all seem pretty fair to me.

I say Sauerland gives in to his demands, ask for a 60/40 and fight in August like they were supposed to. And if this happens, I will literally go to my travel agent the next day, and book a trip to nottingham.

In that case, I'd buy you a drink on fight night.

**** me. Look out for the Super Six final in 2016.

I'm disappointed in Abraham. I think he should just bite the bullet and fight in Nottingham to shut Froch up in front of his home fans.

So now all of a sudden the fight can happen outside of Europe? I thought the contract stated only in Europe, but not necessarily in Germany or England.
In that case California, like I've said before, makes perfect commercial sense. Put Vic Darchinyan on the undercard and you'd have a packed house in favor of Abraham. It will still be a bit hostile for Froch, but at least he'd get fair judges like he wants.

[dmarlay]

Does anyone else think that Froch would do himself a favor by not talking to reporters? There's another article about once a day on boxingscene where Froch is laying his demands, and every one of the articles makes him sound childish. I have no idea what the Abraham camp is saying, given that there aren't daily articles about it, and in the end, it makes Abraham look much more favorable as a result.

Actually, the FightCamp 360 series really makes a lot of the promoters seem really childish, too.

Why is it that fighting in France isn't a neutral territory?
