Froch v Abraham October 2nd in Monaco...

[Phil]

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.
