Froch-Abraham - Nobody gives a monkeys? Fact.

[Kel]

But that means people are less interested in great fights.

As you said, this looks a gauranteed tear-up, Haye-Harrison looked a guaranteed mismatch, yet Haye-Harrison had a billion times the attention on this forum. And this is a hardcore boxing forum. Just goes to shows....

The amount of attention the Haye fight got was a massive joke for what it ended up being, I know what your saying man. I think Froch VS Abraham is more for hardcore fans than casual, it's not been in the media over here. It actually angers me that Froch gets no mention in the news, he's been fighting a string of top opposition but gets no credit or exposure for it, at least over here.

Yeah, and screw the goddamn media. They play it's part in getting a fight put on the map and when it comes to fights like this there is no attention. Harrison/Haye was a shit fight from the go and anyone with an ounce of sense saw it, so for it to be hyped up was a joke. This on the other hand is a top fight between two very good pros. We don't know the result, and yet the coverage for boxing suddenly vanishes.

It shows you that Brits are often a bit thick when it comes to their boxing. Anyone that knows boxing appreciates this fight for what it is.

It's being talked about on other boards. Froch is a good fighter and the guy has faced a lot of great opposition already. Maybe it's the way he's promoted that's the problem?

Anyways should be a good fight.

Abraham ko for me. 8th round.

Froch gives the most brilliant interviews out of any British boxer. I don't understand why he isn't more talked about. Khan, Haye, Harrison? None of these people fight the fighters that Froch does nor gives an interview with the same level entertainment.

Honestly, I don't understand why those other muppets get more attention. Froch is the real deal, whereas they are all hype jobs and frauds. Why can't the focus be on something real for once?

Definitely with you in this motion Fenster.
I've known this fight was coming and for some reason I'm not even interested.
I'll watch it and it could well be a fantastic, but I'm just not anticipating it in any way.

[0james0]

He's just not very fashionable.

Don't really know why, he loves a brawl

Watching Froch is just too bizarre, what in the world is he thinking about in the ring?

[Nameless]

Though I am not a huge Froch fan, you can't hate the guy that much, he fought some of the best available and gives normally a decent show in the ring. I simply think that he's matched with the wrong promoter. Thus said, I am fairly sure Abraham will get the win but it doesn't mean that Froch ain't a good boxer and a fierce warrior.

Exactly, the guy is matched with the wrong promoter. It's a shame that the guy is not even a big star in his country. His resume blows away Haye and Khan when it comes to level of opposition. Froch is a guy that seems to willing to fight anyone out there.

I'm excited for it. Hook nose could pull off the upset. He is one tough bastard and he hits hard himself, tho Abraham is the more skilled of the two. And has the better defense.

I have to disagree with Abraham being more skilled than Froch, but he does have the better defense. Which might decide the fight, as Froch doesn't have a very good defense, and AA is a guy who you need to show a good defense against, otherwise he'll be taking heads.

[TheMacMagician]

Fights need promoting by the fighters themselves heavily, which is absolutely not what Froch does. Hence, the lack of any column inches in a paper.

Anyways, I'm really looking forward to this one. In the words of the imprisoned Charles Bronson, Hold On To Your Fuckin Fillings. I say this will be a war. Can't wait....

In answer to the thread the problem is that many non hard ore boxing fans dont even know the fight is taken place and the reason for this is the fact that it is not been shown by Sky or itv/bbc.

Sad but true because this could be fight of the year.

[Gandalf]

I don't think it has helped that the fight is in the North Pole either. But that doesn't really excuse the poor hype and television coverage that has being offered
