    True but Taylor is known for gassing making Froch late charge look like more than it was. Abrahams is a fighter with a track record of stoppages late against good fighters Taylor included so thats the way I see this one going.

    If you're a one punch knockout artist at the weight below, you usually carry your punch up to the next weight. Although, Taylor knockout aside, there isn't all that much evidence to suggest he is a 'murderous puncher' at 168.

    Will Abraham work the body as well as Kessler did in that fight though to slow Froch down?

    Exactly, Against Dirrell and Kessler Froch certainly didnt come on strong down the stretch

    Abrahams isnt a noted body puncher so thats a good point Kosaros but he will go there from time to time the added weight of his punches should makeup for there being less thrown.

    I really like Froch- he's a proper gent but watching him spar up close I thought he was a little sucseptable to counters. I'll be honest if Abraham is the puncher he's made out to be I think Froch might get chinned here- hope not though def one of his biggest fans

    I'm going for Froch to win by stoppage. I think he wants his belt back more than anything, and I think he wants that belt more than Abraham does.

    Also, it's SHOCKING how few people are even aware this fight is happening.

    It's even more shocking that no one knows who Carl is..

    I really hope Carl wins this fight, I think British boxing needs him right now, moreso than the other two of the "big 3"

    froch on points but not sure how much thats heart ruling head i hate abraham really like froch but just not froch's defence is enuff to stop AA landing some really heavy shots Carls chin is good but its not great and its going to get cracked at somepoint if he doesnt get his hands up

    Abrahams gone the 12 with smaller, weaker, inferior fighters to froch.

    I dont think its a case of if abraham lands its over.

    Froch has to be careful though, it'll be interesting to see what defensive strategy mcracken has come up with.
