Comments Thread For: Abraham vs Froch Showdown Set For Monaco on October 2

[Bierstadt]

My mouth waters just thinking about this. First we get a double header on the same night, and then only a week later the much anticipated Abraham vs Froch.

Thank you Showtime!

I believe they pushed the AA Froch fight back so it could be the last of the stage and hence the biggest, with the outcome of that fight potentially deciding the fates of all the fighters in the tourny. Can't hype it more than that. If Monaco wasn't so damn expensive I would be booking a ticket right now.

the short arab queen abe goes down easily to the high powered brit Froch. If Dirrell can out punch the overrated queenie abe then Froch will pulverize the 5'8" german based dude.

Please don't be so ignorant. Abraham is Armenian not an Arab. There's a big difference, religion being the least of it.

Thank you. Abraham acted like a ***** after the DQ. He knocks Taylor into a seizure and then says Dirrell is faking when he intentionally uppercutted a man who was clearly down on the mat. Abraham robbed Dirrell of his glory. Dirrell wasn't getting tired, he was beating the **** out of Queen Arthur and probably would have knocked him down or out when Arthur went for broke out of desparation and ultimately embarassment.

Dirrell had been dropped prior to the DQ! it was legit knockdown! dirrelldid box his head off up untli then, and king arthur did wrong, i dont think intentionally, you know what its like in the heat of the moment, especially a fight of that magnitude...but still, cant nobody say anything for those tears and that screaming from the matrix at the end, it was pure SHAME! i bet he cringes when he/ if he watches it back.

This fight will be great and well worth the wait. I can't see Froch KOing Abraham but I can see each fighter at least being knocked down once. As for who wins, I think it's hard to say. Froch took big shots from Kessler and still kept coming. AA has a good chin. If it goes to the score cards will Froch be able to bank enough early rounds from the slow-starting Abraham?

A date and venue finally! Thank you.

So it's Ward vs Direll on the same night too? Excellent... I almost wish they'd do it another weekend to space it out a bit. Abraham Froch is enough for one night

They did space it out.

Dirrell - Ward and Kessler - Green will be on the same day, but just the weekend before Froch - Abe, who get a night all their own.

All I can say is that it will be a glorious week for boxing.

WAR ABRAHAM!!!!

Who else thinks that Monaco could very well have more glitz and glamour than Las Vegas for an event of this magnitude?

[Pullcounter]

this is a very interesting match up. we saw AA get befuddled by Dirrell. but froch ain't no dirrell. we saw froch basically get outworked by kessler. but AA's punch output is dismal. I'm not really sure what we'll get.

it could be a war. it could be a stinker w/ a surprise late KO.

I have abraham as a slight favorite.
