    Watch Froch actually out boxing AA and be way up IF at which time AA hits him with the ko shot which is all he really has and relies on.

    I just don't get what ppl see in him other than ko power.

      How is he going to outbox Arthur? Maybe for the first few rounds as Abraham is warming up,but let's be honest-halfway through fights,Carl abandons his jab....

      Even Arthur was ahead on the scorecards against Taylor (who has possibly the best jabs in the division) before the ko-Froch was far behind...that is the gap in skill. Of course I know styles make fights,but Abraham will open up a bit more I am sure-and Froch doesn't have the movement or speed to beat Abraham on points...he will get tagged-and hard.

        At many points in the Kessler fight Froch was out boxing him and defending well, it looked better than anything I had ever seen from AA in terms of actual boxing skills.

        Even so he may still get KTFO anyway.

            What do you see in Froch? The guy has the worst defense and is slow and predictable.I'm gonna have to go with Arthur on that fight-but it will be a good one while it lasts...

              I just think we found a rare gem in Pirog, no shame in losing to a guy like that.

              I am going out on a limb to say that I think Pirog will do big things in boxing if given the opportunity, and Jacobs will bounce back and this loss won't seem so bad in the future.
              take note. this could happen to kid khan.

                  Brothers actually. Fyodor and Dmitri.

                  Dmitri fought Korobov in the 2007 Russian Nationals and lost a close fight to him. ATM i'd say Dmitri is the better brother. Never know though.

                    At many points in the Kessler fight,Froch was backed up on the ropes and just getting pummeled.

                    The Abraham and Froch fight will not have much skill-they are both hard hitters with decent chins-the difference is defense.One guy is going to get hit cleaner-that will be Froch.

                    The only 2 guys who can beat Abraham are Ward and Dirrell.I would also pick Bute to beat Abraham...

                      What do nationalities have to do with what we are talking about? Is that an attempt to distract the conversation or are you always this "sarcastic"? lol
