Let's get this straight about Froch...

[REMOVED SHARK 97]

Froch will be hitting a punching bag come Saturday night.

on the contrary. Abe is not good against people that smother him and go to the body, as shown in the Raul Marquez fight(where he got a rib broken).

the trick is not too keep in mid-range with Abe. thats where his comfort punching zone is. either fight really close or fight way on the outside.

Abe is very flawed, but his power is the great equalizer. I could see Froch mugging his way to a decision, possibly stoppage win, but I could also easily see Abe getting lucky and landing a fight changing punch.

Froch is actually much craftier than people give him credit for. he might be able to figure Abe out.
my fight plan for Froch: shove Abe around on the inside and be active, keeping him in his shell. one Abe decides to do his 1 minute offensive attack, back off fast and let him burn off, shoving back to infight if Abe catches up with him. rinse and repeat.

Froch hasn't got the footwork to keep fighting on the outside for 12 rounds and he never fights close range

i think Abraham is in for a big shock when Froch lands his power punces, I think froch will pick his punches and move side to side

Abraham fought 8 rounds with a broken jaw, i don't think he will be in shock by anyones punches

... He's not feather-fisted in any shape or form. Some of you are talking so much crap about how he has nowhere near the same amount of power as Abe. That's BS.

This fight can literally go any way. Froch by brutal KO could happen if he works the body (which he gets to do anywhere outside Germany), Abe has serious firepower, he has accuracy but Froch has workrate.

Let's see how the king copes with the body shots tho-I've got a feeling his guard goes to **** when the cobra roughs him up a bit.

Literally can't wait to see this unfold.

AA has way more power than Froch. but froch's height and reach make him tough for AA. too bad Froch gasses and can't box as good as dirrell.

andre dirrell had arthur's face swelling and red by the second through punching the gloves alone

arthur felt every shot against dirrell and will feel every shot against froch

i just hope that froch comes in with the proper fight plan and not to be on some boxing from mid-range, waiting for arthur to open up counter-punching style

I agree.

Everyones talking about AA's tough defense, but Froch will hurt him even when hes got his gloves up. AA is underestimating Frochs power and size, the height difference will work heavily in Frochs favor.

Froch will not drastically change his fightplan for AA, he just needs to not take rounds off like the Kessler, he needs to bank points incase he can't KO/TKO Arthur like hes saying.

anyone that is so confident of the outcome, please stick up your betting slips so i can see what real cash you laid out and what odds you got as i dont have the same confidence some of you have.

ive always been a massive abraham fan, i love the raw power he carries with that strange range finder before the big swinging follow up come and knocks you out cold. he's game to the bone and loves a scrap.

froch i never liked to much. i always thought he looked sloppy and open to getting picked apart at world level but by hook or crook hes proved me wrong and i can admit that. he looks worse then he is, but one thing he has is determination and will power on equal with abraham...pretty good chin even though he goes down, he gets back up and carries on fighting hard

this should be a old fashioned proper fight, with blood sweat spit & tears and probably a knock out too. i cant split them and wish i could

[Toe Injury]

he's not featherfisted nor does he hit as hard as abraham

if abrahams a 9 froch is a 7 though

[bojangles1987]

Froch has power, but it's not on Abraham's level. And with how loose Froch is on defense, going to the body will lead to him eating the best Abraham has to offer.

I'm sorry, Froch will be game but I just see him getting overmatched.
