    I think Froch will win, AA does nothing for the 1st 5 rounds until he explodes with wide looping shots later but the Cobra who should be up half way through might have a good enough chin to make it through 12.

      Kessler worked the body alot, Abraham will probably headhunt.

      Kessler does not have height/reach disadvantages that Abraham does.

        Not Sure...Abraham might not look like an obvious body attacker..but the shots he does land downstair are way stronger than kesslers AA did astonishing bodywork on Dirrel when he got to him(and froch will be there all night) and Jermain Taylor felt that bodywork and payed the price ....Taylor never gassed he was in great shape that was AAs bodywork.....and i am a Froch Fan this isn't biased....AA pissed me off knocking out Taylor and Really annoyed me when he hit Dirrel whilst he was down

          Dirrell's gameplan was hit and move, Froch doesn't have the handspeed nor footspeed to copy Dirrell. He needs to use his high work rate and keep Abraham back.

          Abraham can't open up and fire back if Froch is throwing at him at distance.
          I was referring to Dirrells jab.

            ^^Like this.

            I definitely think if Froch had a stylistic advantage, just of matter of whether he can execute and stay disciplined.

              You don't think because of the Dirrell fight he's gonna come out quicker than he usually does?

                If he fights the fight Abraham wants him to fight, and that is a slugfest, yep, he's going to get stopped in around 9 or 10 rounds. He may get stopped sooner if he gets hit with something big.

                  Thats the key for Abraham, although we dont know if his poor workrate is by design or because he has poor stamina, is lazy, he better start fast in this fight though, Froch will probably be able to win rounds by touching his gloves and keeping him at arms length, irrespective if whether he lands he still might be doing more than AA, you dont want to drop too many rounds like that.

                    abraham will knock him out.

                    froch would probably have knocked kessler out if he was more aggressive, instead he layed back and tried to box which isnt his strong suit. abrahams slow starts finally caught up with him aswell, i expect both to be more aggressive which will play into arthurs hands.

                    i also think frochs chin is way overrated, and if abraham lands a good shot with eighter hand the cobra goes to sleep. the fact that froch doesnt seem to realize that himself further plays into arthurs hands.

                    abraham is a much smarter fighter than ppl give him credit for, he starts so slow bcuz hes reading his oponents looking for openings. there isjnt a lack of openings when it comes to froch, and even though abraham isnt fast and throws wide punches his timing is so good he gets away with it. he will set froch up.

                    ppl talk about how froch could hold him of, i doubt it. froch has some of the ****ties defense i ever seen. hes gonna get caught in this fight.

                      Why come out quicker against a fighter who brawls?

                      I think he'll start off like he normally does, if Froch puts him down or hurts him he'll start charging him down. But I can see Abraham walking towards Froch, guard up and letting Froch hit his gloves until the later rounds.
