Thread: Froch v Abraham

How do you see this fight going? After the first round of fights, everyone was saying how Abraham would smash Froch up, I thought personally it would a good fight with Froch being to much in the end for Abraham, what does everyone think now?

Nothing over the weekend has changed my opinion. It just confirmed that Arthur has concusive power and if Froch doesnt find a defence from somewhere then he is taking a trip to casualty like Dirrel and Taylor did.

Lets see how Froch does vs Kess 1st though

Abraham still sparks Froch, only reasons Dirrell beat him up was because he was technically superior and faster, two things that Froch isn't by anymeans, Abraham IMO has the better chin than Froch and IMO is the harder puncher, plus now doesn't have to worry about losing the 0, in the end it'll be a fight between two dirty fuckers

Froch has a low workrate, not alot of speed, telegraphs his punches (especially that upper cut) and his defense is lacking which plays right into Abraham's peek-a-boo stance. Arthur will eat Froch right up. Keep in mind Taylor put Froch down hard and Dirrell seriously wobbled him a few times.

I would bet on a AA KO in round 7.

I will have any bets Froch beats AA.

Great! We get to see Froch get stopped two times in a row.

I think Froch has a lot better chance if it's in Britain. So far it's been the home fighter winning every fight and look at the difference in Dirrell home and away. Admittedly he was basically a prospect fighting Froch away from home and had that experience for the second fight but it's starting to look like Frank Warren is right with the whole home and away thing. I still can't see Froch beating Abraham either way though, I think Abraham sparks him.

EDIT: Froch must be mightily pissed off that Abraham lost. Two potential Nottingham Forest-filling paydays for him against Kessler and Abraham have vanished because they both lost their previous fights and Kessler lost his belt. Although maybe he gets a good payday next as Abraham's people will be desperate to keep the fight in Germany. There's no set country for Froch-Abraham to happen in, right?

Think AA is tougher for Froch than Kessler, I think kessler has some serious confidence issues. Agree that location plays a part and if they fight in Germany AA will just let his usual game plan work and get to Froch late. In Nottingham if Froch can take some early rounds then he has a chance if AA starts getting desperate again.

I think Froch has a higher work-rate and at 168 he probably hits just as hard...or at least i don't think there is much in it. Providing both chins hold up i think Froch can outwork him. But he's more likely to get caught flush so it should be fun.

I'm gonna have to wait and see after the Froch Kessler fight as to wondering how this is gonna play out, but my initial thought would be that if Froch can give Kessler a pasting, which I now beleive he can, then he'll give AA some real problems too. To be honest, if you can have a plan in place to get throgh the last three round onslaught from AA, then he can be outpointed all day long. At elite level, you can't be giving away the first 4 or 5 rounds... One important thing in Froch's favour for me is that he's a big super middleweight and always comes to the table in absolutely tip top condition.

Froch is a sturdy guy but AA has shown that he has no problems with these type of fighters. I think it will be a very tough fight. I don't see Froch getting stopped but I think AA will win a decision.

in the end it doesn't really matter cause i'm pretty damn sure that Ward is gonna leave this tourney with his 0 intact

its a good matchup, 50/50

I still fancy Abraham to KO Froch. Anyone that gets hit as much as Froch surely wont survive the power of Abraham.

As GAME said (), Abraham has left his first two opponents unconcious.

Probably be the best match of the whole tournament.

Now that we know that AA can be hurt and Froch can always punch, it will be a very good fight. Froch will respect AA power and not get caught as often and provided it is in UK, which is unlikely, Froch will win this fight.
