Carl Froch vs Arthur Abraham: Opinions/fight analysis?

Miranda actually hits harder than Froch and the knockdown in the Dirrell fight was more or less due to off-balance / pushing. It was a legit kd according to the rules, but AA was not even hurt for a second. His chin cannot be questioned.

 

I wasn't making a prediction in my earlier post. I was simply making a statement about one way to beat Abraham. I should have clarified that.

Anyway, I don't think Froch will keep his hands up either. I think that low left hand will get Carl knocked out, but we'll see at fight time.

I think there are a few guys around 168 who can take a few of AA's best combinations, and Froch is one of them. I do not think there is anyone around the weight who can takes those combos repeatedly. If Carl doesn't keep his hands up, he'll eat a lot of leather, and that is never a good thing when AA owns the leather.

This may turn out to be one of the best fights of the entire S6. You can bet your house I won't miss it!

 

I personally think Froch hits harder than miranda and will win this by KO because everyone including AA will not expect it or be prepared for it.

 

I'm leaning towards Froch. I can see him outboxing Abraham following the Dirrell blue print but not doing it as well but still enough to win a decision.

Abraham has a great equalizer though with that punch and Froch doesn't have the best of defenses.

 

Froch was Taylor's ***** till the last round.

AA wins, late KO.

 

Im waiting for Froch's power to show. I havent seen it. He was rocked by Dirrell and Kessler and never was able to get off a similar shot on his own.

Starting to think that the Taylor Ko was mostly Taylor fatigued, and although a strong fighter, not much pop.

 

Don't you mean floored?

 

this is gonna be the fight of the year

 

The ESB curse has chosen Froch as its next victim.

 

I think that Froch's reach will help him significantly. He might not keep his hands up all the time (understatement i know ), but Abraham is gonna find it difficult to close the distance and hit Froch flush.

An Abraham win will in no way be a surprise, but I got Froch on points in this one.

 

I definately think he meant floored. In the American meaning of the word of course. Not the British.

 

Naw, its actually the Danish meaning. In Danish it looks something like this


Wärd

 

froch and i think he´ll win quite comfortably.

i predict a long and painfull night for AA, the punches direll threw, surprisingly seemed to bother AA.

I imagine, that letting froch tee off, will feel worse then direll.

 

weak comeback, you seem floored:yep

 

Abraham said after his fight with Dirrell that he would have to start throwing lots of punches when the bell goes,instead of waiting until midways in the fight.
If he does that,i think it will be a war!
Froch have a decent chin,and i think he will try to stay on the outside using his jab,and his long reach.But i doubt that he can withstand AA pressure fighting...I think it will be either Froch winning on point,or Abraham on KO or TKO.
im 60 % sure it will be AA who stops Froch...After a great fight!!
