    oh i disagree. I cant see Abraham demolishing froch. Abraham will be a far more stationary target for froch than kessler was tonight.
    Also abrahams work rate wont be through the roof either.
    However abrahams defense is better than kesslers. SO its hard to say

    i do feel that abraham will fight froch in a way froch likes to fight.
    SO it will be in Froch's comfort zone at least. unlike today and direll where you could see
    he was being boxed in the most part. Abraham will not outbox froch. So win or lose i feel froch will find the pace and the way the fight plays out to his taste.

    At this stage id have to say Abraham will win a close UD but i dont say that with any confidence.
    No way abraham dominates froch tho

    I see froch dominating AA but then getting Ko'd brutally.

    Froch's road has come to an end now even though i thought he just about did enough to get the nod over kessler, he hangs his chin out to dry and that's tailor made for AA.

    He wasn't really too hurt in any of them.. The guy has not been knocked out.. I really wish he would put his hands up though.. I'm not saying he can't be knocked out.

    It loooks like he's constantly trying to look hard with his hands low. lol. Worrying at times.

    I didn't question Abraham's chin at all. The man has an iron chin. But even the best chins someday get shattered.

    Abraham is hittable, and Froch punches harder than Dirrell. That's all I'm saying.

    Too close to call.

    Froch Kessler fight did nothing to alter how dangerous Froch is.

    I worry that Froch having had to go to the trenches in 3 of his last 4 fights ( Pascal, Taylor, Kessler ) may start to lose that punch resistance, but I also feel a fight with Abraham is the best suited to him in the tournament so far, Dirrell was too slick and quick and didnt wanna get involved in a slugfest, Kessler outworking Froch played a big part in his victory. But Abraham doesnt have a big work rate, and isnt the fastest, so in many ways he suits Froch the most, but he hits harder than Kessler and Dirrell and Froch always gets tagged.

    Got potential for another great fight.


    I know bods knock Froch for moaning about not getting recognition in the UK, but I do feel for him a bit, Pascal, Taylor ( away from home ), Dirrell, Kessler ( away from home ) thats good fights. And even if the super 6 hadnt hapening Im sure he wouldve only fought top contenders.

    No one can say his record since getting a world belt was padded

    Yeah i seen that fight, that was in GERMANY with the ref helping him stopping the fight and giving Miranda bogus points deductions he knew he was going to win the fight, we'll see how he feels when hes getting roughed up, rabbit punched and hit on the body/boderline low by Froch he is losing the fight and the whole crowd and referee are against him.

    Then you will see him quit.
