    Poor old Arthur never had a chance of winning this fight. It was always going to be a Froch win. Props to Arthur for soaking it up like a man but he got 'Lacyed' tonight.

    Froch's last five fight resume=

    Pascal home win
    Taylor away win
    Dirrell home win
    Kessler away lost
    Abraham neutral win

    It's about time Andre Ward stepped up to the plate and took some fights outside the USA which he surely must now do if he wishes to be mentioned in the same breath as Froch

    I stated on ESB that Abraham is to slow around the ring and this gave the Cobra the advantage in this fight, and put my money where my mouth was with the bookies at 6/5, but I never thought it would be so one sided.

    Massive credit must go to Froch, for all boxing fans who moan about boxing politics and low risk high reward fights, may I present to you the one, the only

    CARL 'THE COBRA' FROCH

    :good

    Carl is a throwback in an era of protected fighters and duckers. He actively seeks out the toughest opponents and is also prepared to fight outside the UK to do it, and he's virtually alone when it comes to that

    You could have added the Reid (shot) win to the list also.

    he did a Lacy on Abraham, i was hoping he'd ko him but he kept his cool when he had him hurt and totally outclassed and reduced him to a nobody..
    didn't know AA was such a big *****, he should just hang em up nobody will take him seriously after this onesided beating

    , "Hindsight" is the only reason most of you can talk now.
    Going in this fight was even as ****, Even the experts didn't know for sure.

    Styles make/Break fights, as always.

    Well said. You can put Maravilla and Marquez in that group as well, but there aren't many of them

    Hindsight? Bollocks!! Have a look at my pre-fight posts before embarrassing yourself.

    I agree that opinion was divided beforehand but that just goes to show that the self appointed experts know **** all about boxing. There was never a chance of Arthur winning this fight

    Have a look at my pre-fight posts

    Have a look at the way I voted on public votes

    Have a look at my bank account.....well may be not this one

    but without hindsight, i said Abraham was too slow, and this advantage was why Froch would win

    I never said it would be that easy
