Froch v Abraham press pics staredown!

[Cressa121]

about a minute in, Dirrell goes back against the ropes and lands a left hand that visibly rocks Froch, he backs up into the ropes with his hands up. If you watch the video in between the rounds too it shows the punch again in slow motion. There you go, Dirrell hurting Froch Not that this was overly significant in the fight IMO, its not like Froch was on the verge of being stopped or anything, he recovered pretty quickly and finished the round throwing punches. But he was visibly rocked by that left hand.

i stand corrected

did it happen more than that?

Stand corrected on what? Thats a clear of example of Dirrell hurting Froch in the fight, something you said never happened. He landed punches like that throughout the fight, though none had the same kind of impact on Froch, and like ElTerrible said he was too jittery to follow up when he did land solidly. I don't think he was hurt again in the fight, but then I thought the whole issue here was whether or not he was hurt at all, not the amount of times it happened.

I wouldn't say Froch's chin is average, he can take a good punch as he's proved in the past, but I don't think he's impregnable and he has been hurt on occasions before. I'll definitely be pulling for him to win this fight, but at the moment I leaning towards AA by stoppage

from your first paragraph, i stand correctted coz i said he didnt rock him and he did

elterrible said it happened a lot in the fight and i asked if it happened again

a lot of people are leaning towards AA by stoppage and it could happen, i think it will go the other way

I don't care how good his chin is Froch's DEFENSE is what will get him in trouble with Abraham. Froch is a fun fighter to watch but the style match up is bad...you saw that Kessler landed at will on him and no one knows if Kessler is anywhere near his best anymore.

Should be a fun fight to watch no matter the outcome, but I predict Abraham stopping Froch mid to late
