Comments Thread For: Photo: Arthur Abraham Arrives in Helsinki For Froch Bout

[MELLY-MEL...]

King Arthur is gunna get outboxed all night long then KTFO in rounds 10-12. He is too slow and has too poor a workrate to deal with the vicious 'Cobra'. Dirrell proved that all you have to do to beat AA is stay mobile and out of range of his power punches. As long as Froch doesn't engage with him too much it will be an easy nights work for him

yeah, and froch is a speed demon? gtfo

I think, it will be a bit like Abraham-Direll but with KO for Arthur instead of DQ.

How?? Froch is not a boxer like AD, he is a slugger, he himself was outboxed by Dirrell. Froch likes to engage and trade punches (some of which Froch enjoys to block with his chin...) He does not have this fast precise Dirrell jab or mobility to keep him at distance. His best chance to win is imo by KO, but I think it is much more likely that AA KOs Froch. I do not believe that Froch can change his game, so that he will not get hit flush. If you allow AA to hit you directly on the chin, well...
