Froch v Abraham press pics staredown!

[Rantcatrat]

I think Abraham wins this one by stoppage. I can't see Froch being able to avoid too many shots when Abraham starts to unload. He could use his reach advantage to stay on the outside, but his defence is too poor IMO for him to go 12 rounds without getting caught big. Should be a really high action fight, but I see Froch as being too vulnerable to win this one

Froch gets props from me straight up. Think about it: Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, Kessler, and now Abraham. I mean he hasn't ducked anyone. I'll give him a ton of credit if he pulls this one out. He needs to use his height and range to stay away from Abraham and be content to just win rounds. The problem is that I saw Froch slow down in his fight with Kessler at the end and Abraham works exactly the opposite, starts slow and finishes strong. That could be dangerous for Froch. Froch needs to win the early rounds and then take a lesson from Dirrell and run. The thing is Froch is too damn tough and stubborn of a human to ever run. I've rooted for Abraham in the past, I may root for Froch in this one. Either way, it'll be a war.

That's what worries me he got beat by a shot Kessler imo, Kessler was slow and awful compared to his shwoings v Andrade and Calaghe, Froch could be on the slide himself them fights you mentioned have all gone 12 rounds aswell he is 33 years of age, really hard to say this fight how it pans out.

I was assuming Abraham would be a big favourite for this. Looking at the photo's though I'm not so sure. Didn't realise there was such a size difference between them.

Now I think Froch can do this.

[El Kabong]

Abraham will blast him...Froch is too open and when AA connects it's going to be Goodnight Sweetheart.





....so no one thinks Froch has the same eyes as Youngblood's dog gif? (3rd pic posted)

was screaming at my monitor watching that

froch is going to do horrible horrible things to AA

[gramm]

if froch stays super busy and doesnt gas out he has a chance but i think AA will win by late round KO

[Master]

Froch will win this, I am super confident that it will happen.

Froch will win this, I am super confident that it will happen.

He's got a more fluid style but I think Carl will have to fight a perfect fight to beat Arthur. AA has solid defense, big power, a heck of a chin, and he comes on stronger in the second half of the fight.

I could see Froch having the style and attributes to give Abraham big trouble BUT I don't think Froch has the mentality or focus to do that, and that's why I back Abraham, he's got a better approach to the game than Froch has.

Explain the bold. I think Froch is one of the more focused fighters out there (although AA is too). Do you think he will make the mistake of getting into a war with AA?

No doubt, Froch deserves huge credit for beating some quality opposition, and its refreshing to see fighters like him that don't avoid the big challenges. I'll be pulling for him in this fight, but I'm leaning towards Abraham. I agree that Froch can win if he's happy to stay outside and pile up the points, but at the minute I see an Abraham stoppage as more likely. That could change as the fight gets closer though

froch will win KO
