    Before Taylor - Abraham, everyone said either Taylor in points or AA by KO. In fact, AA would have won a decision and easily so. Sure, Dirrell showed AA's weaknesses, but Froch is not the type of fighter to exploit them. If Dirrell had fought Froch with as much discipline as he did fight AA, he would have stopped Froch.

    AA by 10 round KO.

    I would not predict before giving some time to analyse, but it should be a brutal shootout, that's for sure. Both need a win to safely go through and both looking to get back with a vengeance.

    Don't underestimate Froch's boxing skills though, I have no idea why he is viewed as a slugger or clumsy fighter around here.

    at first I thought Froch would win, then I was swayed the other way because of how mentally weak Froch looked on fight camp 360 after his defeat to Kessler. But if history has taught me anything its not to get swayed by things like fight cmap 360.

    So i gotta go with Froch by decision. But, I've underrated Abraham in the past

    FOTY potential. Best fight to look forward to, as well as Direll-Ward.

    Abraham is limited but Froch is dumb, Abraham should win by ko.
    Arthur has better defense, more pop, better chin, Froch on the other side the better condition,size,reach and agility

    For me this fight always seems to turn on a single point: Froch doesn't keep his hands up.

    Pulling for Froch to get through this one, but at some stage he's going to get caught by Abraham in this fight, and I think Authur has the power to hurt him.
