Abraham slaughters Froch.
I'm apologize ahead of time to froch fans but i just don't see it with this guy. I (ducking from thrown fruit) don't even see why he's in the tourny at all. I will say this he has won and that is really what matters. For some reason i just am really un impressed with the guy. Even with what happened this weekend i say both kessler and abraham are going to donkey kick this guy. Hey i do wish him luck though cause his fights at the least the one's i've seen lately since that raybacki clown he fought have been ok to watch though.
I feel the same way I always have. If Abraham does his usual cover-up-and-let-his-opponent wail away for the first 4 rounds, he could be in some trouble because Froch can bang. However, if he comes out fighting from the very beginning I think his power will overwhelm and stop Froch relatively early. It's a really intriguing fight.
people hate on here the exact same way they hated on calzaghe before he laid all the doubters to rest.
They thought mitchell would be too much, thought lacy would be too much, they thought kessler would be too much, they thought jones jr would be too much, they even thought hopkins would be too much
Exact same thing with froch, the concensous before the fights with pascal, taylor and dirrell were conclusively that he would get his arse handed too him.
Some of the american posters on here are desperately bitter about joe calzaghe, they fought they had the top boys for an entire generation and have now had to face the realisation that the true all time great was sitting at home in newbridge, wales watching the likes of jones/toney/hopkins on tv
Abraham will find more aggressiveness after the Dirrell's fight and will start to work earlier and knock off Froch off his shoes to perhaps win the tournament by a meager 1-2 points.
I'm not sure about other American posters, but I can say that since I began following him I always thought Calzaghe was special. I favored him against Kessler and against Jones and against Hopkins. Froch is NO Calzaghe.Quote:

Comparing Calzaghe to Froch is just crazy...I see what you are getting at, but Calzaghe is a far superior boxer all around.Quote:

Kessler who is very mechanical and so by the books the way he fights will out box Froch easily I feel. Froch against AA, I am not too sure, I am praying for a double KO :) or an AA victory will do

No, but I think Froch may have the best chin in the tourney, so I don't know how people think Abraham will stop him, Taylor was stopped by Abraham yes, but Froch also stopped Taylor so who is to say that Abraham hits harder then him? He sparked Dirrell when he was on the canvas so I don't know how much that counts.
Anyway, I don't think Froch will beat Kessler since to beat Kessler you have to be a better outside fighter then him(like calzaghe and ward) Froch is not.
But against Abraham, if he lets Froch just get off on him if he gets caught he may be in trouble. Abraham was knocked down twice by Dirrell, and if Dirrell can drop Abraham and he isn't the hardest puncher in the tourney, Froch and Abraham may be the hardest punchers in this tournament, so we'll have to see. I don't think it will be a walkover by any stretch.
The points don't determine the winner just a seeding. The top four points enter the bracket, the bottom two drop out.Quote:

I would definity NOT bet on this one. This could go so many differnt ways. BUT, I think it will be as entertaining as hell. Should be a wild, unpredictable fight. Both have great chins, both throw wide punches, both have power, both dont move very well....
But Froch is just so akward. The key will be what the mental effect of the Direll fight has on AA, and can Froch exploit it? But then again.... Froch cant fight like Direll to use his plan.....
I can't wait.
But, what happens in situations of ties?Quote:

Abraham knocks him out.
All that their rules say is a tie-breaking mechanism is in place. I'm guessing paper, rock, scissors.Quote:

Or maybe it's like survivor and they have to make fire OR maybe they simply allow through who has the higher viewership.

I don't know mate...Both are slow starters for sure....While Froch has more movement the AA...AA is for sure the bigger banger and I question Froch's chin.......Quote:

I hope Froch gets sparked the hell out.
