Abraham 167.5 - Froch 167.1 - weigh-in & staredown photos, videos

:? really from round 1?

 

I agree

 

I think
1) Abraham hits harder than Froch (I don't KNOW, but I believe so)
2) Dirrell got through Abraham's defense on SKILL, not POWER. Froch does not have that kind of skill.
3) Abraham caught Dirrell in the later rounds, and even knocked him down (although it was never acknowledged as a KD). If he can catch Dirrell... he can catch Froch.
4) Froch can be knocked down.
5) Abraham can take insane amounts of punishment, even IF he gets caught.

Based on all this: Abraham by KO in the 10th.
But still... anything can happen in this fight! I wouldn't be shocked by ANYTHING this time... not even a Froch KO.

 

:goodAgree with all you points. Let's add
6) Froch has good stanima to stay on AA and pull out those close rounds with activity.
7) Dirrell knocked AA around when AA blocked the shot. Froch is a stronger SMW and will be knocking him around too when blocked and judges are very persuaded by this in all fights.
8) Froch has the looping shot in his arsenal to go around AA's shell. I see alot of shots being close to hitting AA in the back of the head.
9) If AA starts in his 4 round shell letting froch swing freely then AA might have more taken out of him from the bigger froch landing alot to the body and head.

So there we go. With all nine of these we should have a very exciting, dramatic affair between these two warrior. I feel the more likely is Froch UD while gettin off the canvas atleast once. Still can see the fight ending abruptly but I feel a froch UD is more likely. And no I'm not perfect LOL.

 

Arthur will knock Froch's lazy eye back into alignment.

 

AA is gonna **** this clown up.

 

I agree with all or most of this. If I had to bet real money right now, I'd bet on Abraham. A tough guy vs' a very, very tough guy. Abraham is not a great boxer but I can't see Froch being slick enough to stay away from the KO.

But their vastly different results against Dirrel, Froch's solid will and extra reach could portent something else. Froch will win alot of rounds. I'm happy this fight happened at all. Good luck to both.

 

Froch is over rated. He was never more than a C+ fighter with B+ power.

Abraham is a solid B fighter with A level power. Imho.

I see a Abraham decision, with a possible ko in his favor.

 

Froch will be stopped in my opinion, but he'll go down trying.

 

Abraham has some kind of amazing punching power. He can move when he needs to and has a unbreakable sheild like defense. he should have no problems choping Froch down quick. Froch just doesn't have enough slickness to get out of the way from Arthur's style.
Froch will mistakenly make AA throw more punches and once Abraham gets revved up very it's very hard to stop his attack.
How long will it take AA to stop Froch Round 1-7? What u think?

 

I am hopeful for an AA KO but I have reasons to worry going into this fight.

 

You should know. He does.

 

The only worry you have is from Froch fans. Trust your eyes. Very little chance Froch will make it late in this fight.

 

:? I never noticed Froch's body was that weird...
