Comments Thread For: Carl Froch Puts it All On The Line To Beat Abraham

[SimonTemplar]

all the super 6 fights to date have been on a random ppv channel in the uk, sky werent interested. I guess it depends on whether that channel has a contract in place for the whole tournament or on a fight by fight basis.

Hope sky get it, on a non ppv :-)

I read somewhere a while back that Primetime have a contract with the tourney organizers that gives them first refusal on all the Super Six bouts, it was a key part of their business modell, which if true would mean that they are ahead of Sky in the queue for this one. Of course, I don't know what the numbers are behind the deal, so hopefully Sky can still get it.

guess it makes more sense that primetime wouldve made sure they got all the fights. It would be bad business to pay for the first fights and not have a guarantee to have the fights later on when more people wanna watch them as they are more important. Unless of course sky buy the rights of them. but then that would mean a sky ppv, so it doesnt make a difference to us. British commontators or showtime. I think i prefer showtimes lol.

I cant see froch winning this,should be a good fight while it lasts but unless froch has a style overhaul then i see him getting knocked out

I definitley prefer Showtime's commentary team of Johnson and Bernstein, and i do like colour analysist from Tarver when he's on.

If froch changes his tactics, keeps his hands higher and counters the jab with body shots he can defeat the queen. Abe is short slow and deliberate and one can only hope froch's corner has the brains to advise him how to fight against a plodder slow abraham.

[Doctor_Tenma]

AA is weak to the body, Froch better take full advantage of that.

[Shattered Jaw]

I'd like to see Froch spar with guys like Diaconu as well as the British amateur team.

The two best fights in the tournament is next ! Abe vs Froch is my delight !! Round three Abe will connect with a crisp straight right hand, quick like the one he put on Jermain and put Froch down, its left up to Froch after that. This fight will bring out the best of who they are in this fight. We know they are not the same fighters as Andre Ward or Dirrell , the best slugger will prevail !! I like them both.

Abe by KO in the first 6 rounds.

Andre Dirrell whips Ward , UD.

froch needs this victory, or else he's probably gonna retire.

If Froch loses but Direll and Green also lose Froch will go through to the semi final.

Whether he'd still have the heart to if he suffered 2 successive defeats is another matter, especially if the 2nd were a brutal KO.
