  • Comments Thread For: Abraham vs Froch: Win Or Lose, They Both March On

    By Jake Donovan - Contrary to popular belief, one loss does not make or break a career.

    Arthur Abraham and Carl Froch are living proof of that. In fact, the opposite proved to be true in both watching their “0” go – their first loss actually had an adverse effect on the men whom defeated them.

    It remains to be seen where Andre Dirrell and Mikkel Kessler go in their respective careers, both having dropped out of the Showtime Super Six World Boxing Classic after their last fights.

    Neither Abraham nor Froch seem particularly concerned with the fighting status of their respective conquerors. Nor is either of them stressing out over the fact that the loser of this weekend’s Stage Three bout in Helsinki, Finland will have endured his second consecutive loss.

    The only thing on the minds of each this weekend is inflicting massive amounts of pain on the other.

    From the moment this matchup was revealed, the anticipation was a Fight of the Year candidate whenever it finally goes down.

    If the fight comes anywhere close to living up to the pre-fight hype and all of the trash talk offered by both fighters towards one another, boxing will have finally found its year-defining fight. [Click Here To Read More]

      AA is taking this one. Froch isn't going to get enough shots through the guard to make a mark on AA. He has no defense either. I'm thinking AA beats him down and takes a UD, possible stoppage.

        Carl Froch is the biggest LIAR and wanker in the world, yes u heard me! Not that any of u are surprised! U did NOT retire Kessler u ***, and u did NOT even come close to winning that fight, u should in fact be having 2 loses on your profile asif u came close to beating Dirrel ... if your thoughts r u got robbed in Kesslers home town, well the 3 judges did NOT think so, but I guess u r NOT surprised with that at all as Dirrel suffered the same fate in your home town. I cannot wait till AA knocks u the fcuk out and wakes your dam ASS back into this reality! Cobra my ass, more like a little wanker living in a fantasy world thinking your the sole ruler ... wake up u jack ass!

          haha as he should.

          but unlike other boxers who have big mouths, Carl Froch tries to back up his arrogance/confidence and has fought some great fighters out there.

          Froch is a good dude.

            Don't shell up too long Arthur, you might give the fight away.

              Approved (although somewhat biased and not as objective as one could wish) article by Donovan, but it’s ridiculous, that he (and some others) keep entertaining the idea, that it was the fight with Froch, that made Kessler drop out.

              It’s giving Froch way too much credit, since it was rather Wards head butting that caused his eye problems and/or as well the fact, that Kessler’s been a professional boxer in more then 10 years with 45 professional bouts under his belt.

              I like Froch, but cannot see, how some (at least other then his fanboys) think he won the fight. I recognise that Froch at times had very good moments in the fight, but overall Kessler was the aggressor and scored more points then Froch did.

              Froch is dreaming about a rematch and Kessler is not retired (he stated so himself not long ago in the Danish media), so let’s see what happens. I for one would pay good money to see a rematch, so why not.

                Nice article from Donovan adding more zip to the expectations for this fight.

                Only thing missing is Jake's pick. So who do you have Jake?

                  I never do that in a piece, unless it's a straight op-ed. I'm not a fan of writers who run their offense in the I-formation. Writers aren't part of the story, no matter how hard they try to make it about themselves.

                  But now that we're on the forum... =)

                  Abraham by close decision. All along I kept telling myself that there's no way this fight can go the distance. But I think it will and Froch will once again come up just short (though of course ***** 'We wuz robbed!' afterwards)

                    I'm so lost here. Who does Glen Johnson fight next in the tourney?
