Get in the cue.......... (Froch/AA spoiler)

[paddy448]

....give Carl his props!

Even if you ain't a fan of his, did you ever in your wildest dreams expect a shutout like that?

Froch for me just don't get the praise he deserves and I hope this performance changes that.

Well done Carl

Totally agree. A very underated fighter. Thought he could of taken Abraham out just after the body shot he landed late in the fight, but He didn't get silly and stuck too the game plan. Hope froch gets some proper mainstream coverage now. It's the least he deserves. Well done sir

[GAME]

Congrats to Carl. One of the best performances by a British fighter abroad. I think it was even better than Joes display against Lacy because Carl didnt have home comforts like Joe and he was beating a better fighter in Abraham.

Immediate rematch I hear which is bad news cuz it was a 1 sided fight that never caught fire. Abraham might make his excuses . . and then there were 2. Carl vs Ward in the final. I even pick Johnson to beat Abraham on that display.

[SalTheButcher]

abraham was too afraid that froch could hurt him, and he didnt stop caring until the last round, and even then he only had like 30 seconds total of taking any risk whatsoever


kind of pointless that they will rematch, unless its in germany, i thought abraham won about 3 or 4 rounds early and i could easily see him having won a few more than that in germany


i dont think abraham would beat johnson or ward, and i wouldnt be surprised if he dropped out to fight kessler next


either way ive said ward would win this from the beginning and i still see that happening

[Saddo]

never been a big fan of Carls as i just hate the way he blocks shots with his chin... but total credit for tonight he put on a top class preformance.

OUTSTANDING

He never won 3 or 4 seconds of any round let alone 3 or 4 rounds.

[armin]

Dam forgot this was in Europe doubt there will be a sho stream for it tonight so might as well find out the result. From the sounds of it tho it doesn't sound like it ever turned into the all out fight we expected, which is kind of disappointing but at least I didn't miss a great fight. I don't particularly like froch nor do I see how he keeps winning with his style, but deserves props for doing so.

he won round 3, for the first 3 rounds froch was landing almost nothing (its just that abraham was throwing nothing himself, he was losing by default)

i thought abraham landed some punches in rounds 1 and 2 where froch landed a few body shots and basically hit abrahams arms the rest of the round, i dont like when people just flurry on someones guard, after round 3 tho abraham started actually getting hit and didnt get aggressive until round 12, and even then he went right back to doing nothing and getting hit, fortch landed like 15% of what he threw, but abraham threw NOTHING

You are full of shit. Flurry on his guard? He was mixing punches upstairs and downstairs to get past that guard. Don't blame Froch because AA did a Clottey for most of the fight.

Get real you numb fuck.

Speechless

[ElTerribleMorales]

i haven't seen the fight yet, but a friend of mine did and basically gave me the wrap, he said that Froch basically controlled the entire fight and that Abraham didn't throw jack shit, compared it to Pacquiao/Clottey, but said that he didn't have it a complete shut out but not far from it, he had it something like 10 rounds to 2

either way props to Froch for pulling off what i'd call a pretty big upset, i still hope Bute sparks him lol

You been smoking crack Sal?

Im glad i was wrong that was a great performance from Carl Froch, as i said in the other thread he showed good angles, good variety, good jab. Infact i think his solid jab stopping from Arthur Abraham coming in was his best weapon tonight, because it stopped Arthur Abraham getting set. Also his combination punching ? where did that come from ? was very impressed with that also.

After that shambles of a fight a few weeks ago, Carl Froch has made England very proud tonight well done Carl Froch.

[bcollins]

I'd say that more than makes up for the fight with Dirrell. That was a very intelligent, very disciplined fight by Froch. Very nice job of keeping AA at range - never gave him a chance to get anything going, with the exception of around thirty seconds in the 12th.
