Froch-Abraham - Nobody gives a monkeys? Fact.

[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.

Too right. He fights decent opposition fight in fight out and gives it his all every time. We can say he is just a bit too boring to be given any attention, but the truth is he interviews very well, and compared to that inbred Amir Khan, is as articulate as Oscar Wilde. He is extremely entertaining both inside and outside of the ring.

I don't think we can just blame the promoter with this, though it has played it's part. I really do think it is down to an ignorance on the part of people who 'follow' boxing and they are ignorant because the media has refused to take part. Froch has come up the hard way with no Olympic medals and so the media has simply not covered him in any great depth. They've missed the ball and never tried to play catch up, and like I say it is a travesty really. Froch should be much more well known.

You just have to look at the way the media covers music. Haye and Khan are the X factor muppets getting all the coverage because they were on the TV. Froch meanwhile is the edgy significant alternative artist that always produces interesting stuff, but the media ignores it. Which records sell? There you go.

its true there is a lack of interest

its a pitty because it has all the make up for a fantastic fight

who wins? abraham is over rated, couple of wins against mirranda, a win against taylor and a win against eastman by far his best, and most of his carear at middleweight, i think froch wins by KO

It's a shame he never got picked up by Sky, otherwise he could have been a big name here by now. I just picked up the December issue of Boxing Monthly today and there's no mention of this fight whatsoever. So I flicked through the last two issues, thinking it might just be because they'd already previewed it. No mention in either the October or November issues either. When such an even, interesting world title fight can't even get a mention in a boxing magazine it's a sad situation.

What it means is what we already knew. The media is a setup.

Now what you should do is never buy that magazine again. You should tell all your friends too, and most importantly spread the news about the ineptness of that magazine far and wide on the internet.

If they do not have the decency to be an effective news provider then they suck. Tell everyone and hopefully they will go bankrupt.

In the meanwhile do what I do and tell the truth about each and every one of Khan's or Haye's future opponents. I exist for the sole reason of telling people what I believe is the truth. If everybody else did that, then we wouldn't have people defending crap like Harrison/Haye.

I hope Abraham wins. I hate Carl Froch. To see him get Ko'ed would make me happy..... Not that I'll see him get Ko'ed no one is televising the fight. Cuz no one cares. lol

Funny post

This fight was postponed from it's orignal Sept/Oct date, that's why it's probably not previewed in the December Boxing Monthly

The fight being in Finland is Froch's own doing. That said the whole Hennessey/Primetime TV set-up is what's harming Froch's career. Primetime don't have the clout to back this fight like Sky does. Signing with Primetime was a pivotal point in Froch's career, I know Sky didn't want to pick him up at the time but he should've gone down the free to air route with ITV. At least then people other than us would know who he is.
