Comments Thread For: Carl Froch: If Abraham Guards High, I'll Break His Ribs!

[REMOVED SHARK 97]

If anyone can KO Abraham, it's Froch no doubt.

I smell an upset.

If someone gets KTFO this fight it's Froch. He's one of those guys who doesn't look impressive, but he finds a damn way to win so I can respect him for that. Should be a good ****ing brawl while it lasts.

A little part of me is actually worried that Froch will try to "outbox" AA and all the aggressive talk is just a ploy.

I'm hoping that AA learned his lesson vs Dirrell with starting slow. In a fight camp episode post Dirrell i remember him saying he'd fight a fast pace from the get go. The Kessler Froch episode i think.

It could be a good idea for him to make a committed body attack as AA really doesn't handle the body shots well and Froch has power.

If anyone ever does stop AA I would bet on it being from a perfectly placed liver shot, that steel plate in his face is going to be impossible for the Cobra to crack.

AA does look like that could be a weakness but it requires that Froch gets close within AA's punching range and that he drops his hands. The whole risk reward thing is rather iffy for a constant body attack vs AA. Could spell trouble.

Everyone is expecting Froch to get KO,D but he i going o take the fight to Abraham and i see him totally dominating the early rounds and hanging on to take the decision but it wont be easy Abraham will bring his A game dont want to miss this fight !!!

Gonn love it and laugh when Froch messes up AA.. people talking about how Froch is gonna get KTFO.. What proof is there that AA power is fantastic at 168? Dirrel took a few shots fine.. and even knocked the "iron chinned" AA down twice

Also AA will look small compared to Froch and be shocked by his wierd style on the way to a wide UD loss

Their relative performances vs. Taylor greatly favour Abraham. Froch was outboxed by Taylor for most of the fight, whereas Abraham outboxed Taylor. Froch wore Taylor down, and stopped him with a barrage of punches, whereas Abraham knocked him cold with a single punch.

And you forgot to mention that Abraham knocked Dirrel down. And whereas when Abraham was knocked down he was off balance and not hurt, when Dirrel was knocked down, he was clearly hurt.

I don't think Froch winning is an upset. I think Abraham is vastly overrated and has been exposed by the powder punching of Dirrell. Froch if smart should win going away but I am not sure the ****y Frch can fight smart for 12 rounds. His corner is terrible.

[sicko]

this guy is talking a lot of ****

I picked Abraham or Ward to win this Tournament before it started and I am sticking to that, I think Abraham will take his ****in head off (not literally obviously lol), Froch will stand in Early and see if he can hurt Abraham and see how Hard Abraham hits, if Abraham Power is too much then he will fight going backwards the entire fight and try to out-box Abraham to a favorable decision, Abraham doesn't fight to win on the cards so if it goes to the Cards he will lose

it is no question that Froch can out-box Abraham if he wants but if he tries to show off his tough chin and try to stand and fight with Abraham, I think he will get Dropped, it would be FOOLISH (although entertaining) to just stand infront of Abraham and Dare him to Knock You Out!

I can't wait for this fight though, Showtime need to do more 360 Shows though and not just wait until the fight is near

Froch will have AA complaining like a *****. Froch will drag AA into the trenches and fight very dirty.
AA will be crying by round 8.

Same body shot as he beat Dodcon with is key to beat AA.

i can see th cobra uppercut landing thru the guard as well

This is a case where triangular logic is useless.

I think Froch matches up better against Abraham than anyone else in the competition.

Froch has an underrated jab, and his stamina is 2nd to none.

You don't even have to land punches to beat Abraham, you just have to keep throwing to keep him at bay and keep him off balance. Abraham has not landed a single counter punch in his entire career and he isn't about to start now.

Froch throws from all angles, and is happy to work the body. He can blast an uppercut through the middle, and he can loop a right hand around Abraham's guard. He also has the chin to take a few solid shots from Abe without coming unglued.

You made the point that Abraham dropped and hurt Dirrell, and that is true, but Abraham landed more than 1 or 2 big punches in that fight and Dirrell managed to survive all of them. If Dirrell can take Abraham's shots and keep coming back I have little doubt that Froch can do the same.

I think Froch can come out and win 5 of the first 6 rounds and force Abraham to drop the guard and start taking chances. Once that happens Froch can walk him into a couple right hands and possibly close the show.
