This fight is one of the hardest fights for me to predict of recent times...Both very good punchers, especially Abraham, Froch being the more methodical accumulative puncher and Abraham being the more explosive puncher...The thing is though..Abraham can sometimes be too patient, especially early on. If Froch can get some good shots in early, and believe me he can, Abraham could be in some serious trouble, especially if he gets hit clean. Abraham does not have this great chin people make out that he has, he's just able to time and block and/or take alot of the steam off of punches, in his last fight against Dirrell, he couldn't time Dirrell like he was used to being able to do against most fighters because of Dirrell's speed and sharp awkward angled punching. Dirrell was able to stun and drop Abraham. Although Froch is nowhere near as quick as Dirrell, he has a deceptively good jab and a sneaky right hand and uppercut, although Froch looks like he is telegraphing his right uppercut a lot of the time, do not be fooled, it is alot harder to get away from than you think.
I think if Froch is able to make a mark early on by landing some solid body shots and at least one very good right hand, Abraham will struggle to find his rhythm later on in the fight, i do not find Abraham to be the most mentally strong going by what i saw in his fight with Dirrell. Both Abraham and Froch fight at a very similar distance though. Whoever takes the initiative first, likely wins this fight in my honest opinion. All of that being said, my prediction: Froch is up something like 5-2 6-2 and gets caught with something big and is either put out cold or badly hurt and TKOed. I think Froch has taken a heavy amount of punishment in his last four fights, and he was stunned in all four, especially against Taylor and Kessler. And i think Abraham will open up later on in the fight and take him out. And everyone will be like "Where the hell did that come from?"...Just my two cents people.
