Froch: I'll Quit The Super Six if the Abraham fight is in Germany

[ono]

He'll quit ??!!! Lol !!! Take your overrated ass on then, don't even bother to stop and close the door on your way out. If the fight was in froch's own living room abraham would beat his ass anyway. I don't know about overseas but here in america nobody will miss him, most didn't even know he was in the tourny anyway. I'll quit...lol !!!! This guy is starting to sound like one of my kids....i'm sick i don't wanna fight, it's not where i want it i don't wanna fight. My car is scratched i don't wanna fight, I could've taken him out, i shoulda, coulda, woulda, whaaa whaaaaa. Give me a freakin break. You sure didn't mind taking advantage of a green direll in england in a fight most think he lost anyway. I'm growing tired of this guy already

I know. It annoys me how he's been willing to fight in other guys backyards. It annoys me how 3 of his last 4 fights have been Fight of the Year candidates. It annoys me how his last 4 opponents have been top quality. I wish he'd fuck off. Boxing doesn't need this.

Ahh the attempt to put pressure when things aren't going your way. Good luck Carl.

I don't blame him. Why should it be in Germany?

They should prepare a neutral venue if both fighters can't agree on the location. Every fight has gone the home fighters way and Froch knows he's out if anything goes wrong. In Germany he will be docked points, especially if he tries to make it a rough fight. Anywhere borderline low and AA will be holding his belly and warnings will be dished out. Fighting there will be a risk for Froch and going on that iffy scorecard against Kessler (117-111) I don't blame Froch for fearing the worst.

I suppose Nottingham was a fair venue for Andre Dirrell, Carl Froch wasn't treated unfairly in Denmark at all. And i don't think those scorecards, were that wide personally.

That's why I suggested a neutral venue and will further add that it should perhaps involve judges and a referee both fighters feel comfortable with. I think Froch beat Dirrell myself, but I'm well aware that many disagree. Hometown fighters do seem to be getting away with things. Abraham knocked Dirrell down and got nothing. Ward fought using mainly his head as a battering ram and clinched non stop and again no penalty. The tournament has been very dodgy in some regards.

That's the thing, it's easy to blame Froch when the actual root of the problem lies with dodgy judging which shows a bias to the house fighter. It's gone on for too long. You can't blame a fighter for not wanting to work his arse off in a 10 week training camp knowing full well he's going to get screwed at the end.

Exactly, it's the judges and also the referees who are just not doing an effective and impartial job. It's almost like they are acting in the interests of the home side because that's where the gate has come from and it shouldn't be like that. It's easy to say Froch should just shut up, grit his teeth and have to fight not only AA but also the officials, but it shouldn't need to be that way.

Froch should make a point of this. All the evidence suggests that it won't be impartial, so he would be silly not to stand up for himself before it all gets decided regardless.

I can't stand Froch but more I think about it it sould be in neutral location seeing as this is meant to be a fair tournament and all.

Exactly. The only problem is finding a neutral venue that is feasible for Froch and Abraham, not to mention their respective fans. Does the fight hold enough interest for it to be stateside? It's a tough one.

I agree that there should be a neutral venue..

but, i disagree that 117-111 is iffy, just because it was a fight with a lot of close rounds.. you give two of the close rounds that that judge gave Kessler, to Froch, you have a 115-113 fight.. Froch didn't do much the entire fight, besides landing an eye-catching shot maybe 3 times throughout the fight.. Kessler pushed the fight, and if there were no major blows in the round, or anyone getting hurt, then he will get the round because he's making the fight a fight.

Careful. Common sense is frowned upon in these parts.

[generalbulldog]

Get a good ref like Weeks or Bayless, although Froch might still get screwed by the German judges, but then again who is he to complained after getting a gift in England against Dirrel?

[Fenster]

You guys need to forget this neutral venue palaver. Both these guys are not superstars. They can't sell shit outside their home countries.

Do you think the promoters will risk losing money instead of a making a gaurantee profit for the sake of fair play? Fucks sake...

Froch can't sell shit IN his home country

[mickel]

it sounds as though he has no desire to get in the ring with abraham....?
