    I'll be rooting for Froch. I hear alot about people saying he'll be ko'd but lets see what happens. I actually think Froch will stop AA, I have a feeling. I can see Froch giving him fits but not like Dirrell did.

    Hard fight to predict. I suspect anyone who's certain of a particular outcome is really just blustering.
    Froch's weaknesses are there to see but AA's strikes me as a pretty limited fighter. Dispite the Dirrel loss people are overating him slightly.

    I seriously hope Froch wins this. That would shut up Abraham and give a hard working, talented and courageous Brit what he deserves.

    Can see this one going either way to be honest. Froch's defense aint the greatest and if AA lands one flush it could be all over. Still got a sneaky feeling Froch is going to pull one out of the bag though. I'll not be having a wager on it though!

    carl has proved himself as smw elite and aa has 1-1 (shoulda been 2-0) at the weight vs carl victims so it will be interesting. carl right upper/straight vs aa right hook will be the tale of the fight

    Froch should be smart not to trade openly with AA. A should employ a simple hit and run technique. Boxing wise he's much better than AA and Dirrell showed how easily AA can be outboxed if you have the stamina and foot work.

    Froch has to stay on the outside and make sure he doesn't gas out towards the end of the fight.

    All this **** about AA's power...Dirrell (******) took the best he had to offer and stood until the disqualification. Im not underrating his power though cos it does look like he throws bombs however at MIDDLEWEIGHT!. The dude is unproven still at Supermiddle.

    Froch respects him of course he just talks alot of ****.

    People talk about Abraham like he is some decapitating machine. He's looked pretty ordinary to me atm. A decent boxer with a bit of power. Froch is under-rated technically and power wise. Froch for the UD/TKO

    When I fist heard about this fight I picked Double A but Froch is crafty and very underratted ..I look for him to pull off the upset if he doesn't then what can you do double A was picked as one of the fighers to be in the finals !

    WAR FROCH !!

    I think Froch takes it. But I've under-estimated Abraham in the past. We'll see.

    The odds are shifting in Abraham's favour which I've noticed often indicates that something is up. Right now I've got a bet on Froch taking this.

    if both bring their a game, Froch is going to get smashed by the smurf heavily no doubt
    But Abraham had some off nights in the past
    He was the leader in the S6 but lost his head after the KD in the Dirrell fight.
    now theres even more pressure on him so i don´t have too much confidence that Abraham is going to bring it on honestly.
    I´m not referring to the end of that fight but before Abraham couldn´t hit a cows arse. He came wild swinging with wide hooks and couldn´t even land when he had Dirrell in the corner.
    But he connected when he threw straight punches, kept it on the inside lane, knocked Dirrell down but didnt stick to it. Not a sign of decent ring iq imo.
    Also against Lajuan Simon and Gardner they managed to frustrate him. In the fight with Simon he gassed before he even really started

    Froch whereas is just delusional. he doesnt care hes on his own planet. he just refuses to accept that a half of Kessler beat him at his very own game and that he got outboxed by Taylor until he gassed and got a gift against Dirrell etc..
    I think Froch can frustrate Abraham as well. Also his uppercuts could break off Abrahams shell. Imo if Froch can avoid Abrahams bodyshot series in the first half he has a decent chance to get a late stoppage as well. Abrahams nerves are going to play big role and the mentally stronger guy i think will win this fight

    I got a feeling Froch will try to use his long reach to outbox Abraham. He's an underrated boxer, akward. If he tries to slug, Abraham stops him.
