Froch Suffers Back Injury, Abraham Fight To Nov/Dec - Boxing News
According to this its been moved back to November/December because Froch has suffered a back injury in training
Quite a bummer... I was really waiting to see this fight though november-december is not that bad...
My November PPV bill is gonna be through the roof!
How many times is Carl gonna pull out? First it was cuz he wanted home advantage then he pulled out again cuz he wanted more time with his son. Now he has pulled out again.
He doesnt seem very keen on being knocked out. If he carries on like this he will get a rep.
I'm hinking that when it's all said and done the number of delays and set backs will eclipse the number of bouts that actually come off.
Froch still wins with the bad back in November.
Man-up Froch!! Tyson fought with a broken back!!
^Its Spinal!!!
Something fishy here? Is this event falling by the waist side?
Just looking at the Cobra's twitter and he only reported two days ago he just has outrageous fitness reports from the lab? Also asking everyone if there looking forward to the fight this doesnt sound like a guy who has had tests and been told to rest up only two days later? Find it odd for such a big fight from him tweeting this on saturday night to fat Mick announcing he is injured this morning? Surely if he got injured sunday they would take secnd opinions or maybe not even get the results back less than 24 hours later?
maybe I am looking into it to much but to me seems very strange.
Does Dirrell v Ward happen before new date, and how many days ago was it announced?

Going with late Tko from Abraham, who I still like a great deal despite the bs dq in his last fight. No I'm not disputing the Dq but I'm definitely one of the few who think Arthur was ramping up for a big finish.
I love his style. Wait, wait, wait ....KO.
September 25 apparently, so before Froch-Abraham:Quote:

Kabong will probably make a David Haye reference in this thread sooner or laterQuote:

The estimated repair work will run into millions , the scaffolding cost alone comes to over 1 million pounds.

It really is a mess now, Ward should never have been allowed to sign for 3 home fights, how the other promoters missed that is beyond a joke. Then again if as mooted that these next two fights are promoted to be straight semis then perhaps Ward can then feel aggrieved that being the only guy on 100% he has to go away for the knockout stages.

There's no point in Abraham-Froch even fighting with no title on the line and no super-six incentive. Especially no point of fighting in Monaco in front of a couple of thousand punters.
I really wanted to see this fight.:mad:
Now like I said when Froch first said he was injured I thought It was very fishy as the Twitter post mentioned nothing and he was actually training well, now I have put my columbo camel jacket on and had a little think.Quote:
