Comments Thread For: Froch: What Will Abraham Do When He Can't KO Me?

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

I hate Froch and quite like AA, but I'm surprised ppl are writing Froch off so easily.

Froch's got a heck of a good chin and isn't getting hurt easily.

AA will have to really launch himself to land a good number of times to hurt him, and take enough rounds.

It's a close fight I think due to Froch's reach, toughness, resilience and chin.

He needs to be careful and box for 12 rounds.


If he fights at all, he's in deep ****.


Dirrell and Taylor both stunned him. Abraham can short-circuit him if he gets cavalier. Believe it.


Froch's chin is very good, but overrated by some. He's not the Margarito of the 168lbers.


And Araham's best punch, if it lands flush, is a hell of a punch.

If this fight goes the distance, Froch should get the decision. I've stated numerous times on how i see this fight playing out, Abraham just isn't active enough to steal rounds in what is hopefully a neutral venue. But don't get me wrong, Froch will get hit, and if there is a stoppage in this fight....it will be at the hands of Arthur.

Froch is scaring me. I'm afraid he is actually going to stand there and take those shots. Well then my hat off to him... on his way to the hospital.

Carl needs to fight smart, AA is not the man to brawl with. If he brawls he's gonna give the fight to Abraham. Froch has about an equal chance of winning as long as he at least tries to defend himself.

But I doubt my words will reach Carl's ears. Its seems that every other day we get an article in which Froch exclaims his bravado and vows to go to war.
Its gonna be a great fight, but a short one if that happens.

Id get where Froch is coming from if Abraham had won all his fights by ko but Abraham has had to go the full distance before if he cant ship Froch hes not going to go into panic mode

co-sign

but he did start swingning for the fences when he was well behind and needed a ko to win against Dirrell

if the same thing happens with Froch, he will be swinging harder and wider to get the KO

I used to dislike Froch, but I hope he beats AA now

He'll then have to settle for a TKO.

Agreed. I really hope Froch does not stand there and try and trade with AA, otherwise he's going to take some huge bombs and eventually he will get KO'd. Froch has a good chin but he can be hurt, and when you're trading with one of the biggest punchers in your division, then you're probably going to get KO'd.

Hopefully Froch will actually box a bit, establish his jab, which is good when he uses it. He has the height and reach to keep AA out of range, and after that its a case of outworking him to a UD. I doubt he'll KO AA due to his high guard. He can trade for a bit, but not that long. Lets hope he's just saying all this for promotion and he actually has a bit of sense!

What if He does.. I have seen Froch hurt before, I also saw him very frustrated against Direll, a fight I thought He won due to location. I didn't see him win that fight. I like Froch strenghts and I can't blaim him for telling himself what ever He needs. But He's not a boxer. He is "La Cobra" and He's coming in to KO his opponent most times behind on points. What if He can't KO Abraham? The fight will be about who's the boxer and from both fighters I have seen Abraham leading with technique more times.
I think it's going to be the fight of the year in that division.

I can't see Abraham KOing Froch. He doesn't have the speed in his punches to catch Froch off guard. Taylor and Dirrell hurt Froch with punches he didn't see coming. Yes, he might stagger Froch maybe once or twice, but I can see Froch battling through it and surviving. Plus Abraham was knocked down by Dirrell in his last fight. Froch hits harder than Dirrell, and will be putting the pressure on Abraham all night long. It might very well be Abraham succumbing to the pressure.

it is posts like these that put that posting fire in my belly. i was going to hold off on saying it, because i really like froch and haven't rooted against him, yet, but abraham knocks him out.

abraham has never had hand-speed but his power speaks for itself. add to that that you don't need great hand-speed to hit people with punches they don't see coming. throwing punches in combination will more than make up for abraham's lack of hand-speed as froch is coming to the fight more than hittable.

the "habit" of fighting with his hands down is his actual style. his slow, looping punches will have trouble getting through abraham's defense and his own body will take the toll in handling abraham's responses.

Froch will KO AA
