    I think all you Brits are in for a BIG letdown.

He had BETTER tighten up his defense if he wants this fight to go the distance.
      So then I guess AA has a glass chin if he was put down by Dirrell who was not a huge puncher? If Froch's defense is as bad as you claim with the comp he has faced he would have been ko'd by now if he didn't have a good chin.

        Ow come on. We all saw that that knockdown was due to poor balance as much as anything else. AA has the better chin, defense, punching power, boxing acumen, you name it. There's no way he loses to Froch. No way.

          AA is a very stationary, predictable fighter who can't take body shots. He is also very short for the division and has to lunge leaving himself open when he finally does let his hands go.

          You will see, AA is going to have a harder time than you think hitting Froch with meaningful punches due to his awkward style even if he isn't the fastest fighter around.

            Fair enough. BUT..........eventually he's gonna' crack that chin, and when he does, it's lights out for Froch. Froch is just too easy to hit. And do you really see him landing anything clean on AA? Unless it's a fluke (like in the Dirrell fight) it ain't happenin'. Abraham's defense is tighter than a nun's *****.

              He may have a tough time early landing clean upstairs but he should work the body until AA opens up later giving Froch more opportunities. The 2nd half of the fight should be very entertaining and we shouldn't be seeing an official scorecard.

                Are you crazy?

                It's lights out for Froch come Saturday.

                  nay, he will not.

                  I hope he does, but i just don't see it. Abraham is an Ox, and his left hook can knock anyone out. Carl Froch is there to be hit all day, it could turn out very ugly.

                    And I'm not trying to undermine Froch by any means. I certainly didn't see Martinez KOing Williams inside 2 rounds, so anything can happen in a fight like this. But if all goes down as planned, AA should win this fight one way or another.

                      I doubt it, just don't see too much in AA or what everyone seems to see to make them think he is a top SMW other than his obvious ko power.
