I voted Abraham KO, I meant to vote Abraham decision. Jermain Taylor, a fast, skilled boxer with an excellent jab could not outbox Abraham, who was winning the fight before the KO. I can see Froch hitting gloves and arm all night long, whilst Abraham lands hard hooks on the defenseless Froch. I just don't think Froch has the speed, accuracy and consistency to regularly break through Abrahams guard and frequently land. However Abraham will find no problem landing on Froch, who keeps his hands low and does not have the coordination or speed of foot to avoid Abrahams punches. How often does Froch keep opponents on the end of his jab? I think Abraham will win this, with possibly a knockdown to add to his points tally late on. Abraham UD.
I want Froch to win and he could well do, but when i think of the way Gevor, Ayala and Taylor were laid spark, i just can't help but think that Froch is gonna be added to that list.
I really hope to see Froch Gevore'd. This is not as I hate him no I like him as a boxer but he is just talking too much garbage.
Froch has a good chance here. He needs to box Abraham, though. And I don't think he can do that for 12 rounds without getting caught and drawn into a firefight.
This is the fight Carl's lack of chin tucking and technical flaws (the bow n arrow habit where he pulls his right hand back when throwing the jab, which will leave him open to the left hook, a punch Abraham likes to lead with. And his tendency to be countered easily with the overhand right) will catch up with him. I'll say this though, if Abraham is not able to back Carl up and take advantage of those flaws quickly then he's in trouble. Abraham to me is a 15 round fighter...I just see Carl taking a lot of big shots here when they start to exchange.
If Froch can work a bit harder than in the Kessler fight I see Froch winning this one big, with AA taking too much punishment and the fight being stopped. Can't wait for Saturday, regardless of the result it has the makings of something really special.
Froch needs to be manic with his workrate in a clever kinda way, like the pascal fight but even more. Just hope he goes out there and empties every bit of energy he has into beating up and stopping Abraham.
Hopefully it will be a great fight, and I take Froch to win by either UD or a late stopage. Although Abraham has a good defense, he's quite slow around the ring and this will be to Froch's advantage.
Yes Arthur Abraham is going to outbox Carl Froch with his superb footwork, ramrod jab and lightening fast hand speed atsch
