Froch v Abraham October 2nd in Monaco...

[BIG H]

Really hard one to pick for me.

[HattonTheHammer]

abraham outside of germany is completely screwed in this one.

froch can adapt to different fights, abraham cannot......froch either by unanimous decision or late stoppage

[porkypara]

I would not be supprised if Froch won by late stoppage.

Abraham is not that difficult to hit as a fight goes on.

Which airline flys to Monaco

[El Kabong]

Really hard one to pick for me.

Why? Abraham will win EASY, KO/TKO in the mid late rounds.

Abraham had trouble with Dirrell, a slick, quick moving, ambidextrous boxer with quick hands...Froch is none of those things. Froch isn't all that fast, he's not hard to hit, but he does have a good chin and solid power. I do think Froch can be picked apart by counters and eventually those will wear him down and stop him.

In england, africa, or hell even in froch's living room, i see no way he beats abraham. He's too slow to do what direll did, leaves his hands down way too much. Abraham will be back to his old ways. Blocking countering and simply wearing down froch for a mid/late stoppage.

Abraham by ko rd 8-10

Im liking the fact the fight is in a neutral venue, I know it doesnt make the best sense financially wise
but it takes away all the bullshit home town decisions. Be nice to see a few Americans v Europeans in a nice neutral venue... say Ireland

[GAME]

I thought the venue would decide the outcome but on neutral ground it will be down to the best man wins which is something we havent seen in the super 6 so far.

I see it unfolding with Abraham doing what he always does - next to nothing for 5 rounds but inching forward and blocking shots. Carl wont be going to war either he will be saving some for the late rounds so he will be happy to put rounds in the bag by circling jabbing and boxing like he did vs Kessler. Once Abraham gets started in the 2nd half I see his better defence and extra power being the big factor. Carl will walk on to too many and take a beating. The big question is can Carl hold on the hear the final bell. He will try his hardest to especially if he is ahead on the cards. He didnt inject enough pace when he needed to vs Kess but I think he will be fighting for his career in this one and will dig alot deeper. Whether its points or late stoppage I think Abraham just edges it in a classic fight.

Although Dirrell was beating Abraham fairly comfortably I do think Froch will be too much for Abraham.

Abraham cant handle the strength of the supermiddles and I reckon Froch will hurt him. Dirrell put Abraham down and wasted the opportunity. As shite as Froch is, when (not if) he hurts Abraham, he will go for the kill and as clumsy as it may be, it will be the most pressure that Abraham has ever had to deal with.

Abraham stalks opponents but that will suit Froch, he will get plenty of time to try those swinging punches while Abraham gets pushed backwards with his gloves covering his face

Abraham gets stopped late.

Good points....i've been right once in row lately though so we'll see lol !! Above someone mentioned the venue being a factor, and i don't think that has much to do with anything. Stuff like that is always an excuse of the loosing side. Most fights have been close and could have gone either way, on the road you have to do more every fighter realizes that. That can't take a ko away from you. Oh well they did for butte, but usually not..

If only hed have stuck with the body punches id have been spot on!

Abraham isnt strong enough at this weight. It was his strength advantage that did him well in the middles, not his skills and now he doesnt have that.

The Sauerlands arefilled with anticipation. "The Super Six tournament has been outstanding thus far," said Kalle. "We’ve had so much drama and so many high-class fights. Kessler versus Froch was as good as it gets but believe me, Abraham-Froch will be even better. It’s win or go home! I honestly can’t see this going the distance. I have a lot of respect for Froch as a fighter but I think that his style is tailor-made for Abraham. The King will knock The Cobra out – no doubt about that. The only question is in which round."

Bet Kalle is pissed now
