my froch vs abraham prediction

[BattlingNelson]

i'd also like to point out that Froch ran into a Kessler right hand and got wobbled

dude was legimately hurt. i think it's safe to say AA punches a lot harder than Kessler.

Yeah. And much much wider. Sure Froch was hurt against Kessler and Taylor. Both straight punchers. AA is a hooker.

It wont be as easy as some here thinks.

Froch doesn't have an iron chin, he's been knocked down, wobbled and hurt on numerous occassions.

Power isn't overrated at all.

maybe, i change my mind often before a week to the fight, by then i usually have the right pick

im an awesome predictor

funny you mention straight punches, just an hour back after watching some froch fights(bits, i dont like frochs style) i noticed he eats alot of the straight rights

He knocked Jermain Taylor into the 6th realm with a straight right hand down the pipe.

I wouldn't say he is just a hooker.

True. But how many straight rights does he employ? Not many. His big and flashy powerbursts consists exclusively of hooks. A fighter with good footwork can pretty easy escape I think.

Not sure if Froch can but I wouldn't rule it out.

He may throw more hooks than straight rights, but he certainly does throw straight right hands along with solid jabs.

Dirrell was JUST evading the hooks by circling around the outside of AA. Dirrell has faster footwork, faster lateral movement, and better reflexes than Froch and was barely escaping... Froch WILL get clipped, I don't know if he will be stopped.. but he will be hurt at some point in that fight.

I`m going with Froch,Abraham is one of the most overated fighter i have ever seen.

i don't think froch is fleet-footed enough to accomplish this. i'm 99.9% he'll be squared up, hands down, chin in the air as usual.

There's no chance for AA to outjab Froch. Kessler is one of the best jabbers in the business and Froch matched him pretty good in that department.

You think AA throws a lot of straight rights? I disagree and I cannot see AA have success with he old 1-2 against Froch. Froch will probably have a reachadvantage by a couple of feet.

No. AA will fight the way he always does. Turtleshell and explosions off of it. He'll lose a jabbing contest and he will surely eat a lot of jabs early on.

Did I say he throws a lot of them? No I didn't.

He does in fact throw them, and when/if he does.. .it can/will put you to sleep.

Also, AA doesn't need to win a jabbing contest... he needs to make Froch pay when he comes in on AA to put work in... which in fact he will.

Froch will be there to be hit without a doubt in my mind, and I don't think he can take that kind of power.

AA will also have faster hands than Carl.
