I can see Froch having early success with that weird uppercut he leads with from the outside and winning the rounds predominately on workate. AA is a notoriously slow starter, and likely won't open until the 4th or 5th round. When he does, I expect him to catch Froch with something big that ends up changing Froch's tactics making Froch more apt to box and more tentative to throw as freely. Eventually I see AA succeeding in making it a war, and when Froch goes to mix it up, he ends getting put down and out. Abraham TKO Froch ((middle to late rounds).
Froch doesn't have the footwork, the speed, or the defense to bother Abraham. He punches slow, and AA will be able to block them all night long until he comes out of his shell and drops Froch. AA by 9th rd KO
LOL, Froch can hardly fight with his hands held so low. He is attempting to imitate fighters with much faster hand speed then himself, but he does it very poorly. Don't get me wrong. His technique is much better then a flailing Joe Calzaghe, but still, he's much too slow to hold both hands down at his waist by rd3, and AA will make him understand this when one of those bombs connects with his still questionable chin. I see AA KO'ing the bum around round 7.
:good Good call... Froch can control AA from the outside and win rounds, but when he eventually decides to stand and trade he's getting hurt... at least I hope so!
I think Froch has more heart than some give him credit for and in this kind of fight that counts for something. From my perspective I think AA is probably a little more powerful but he also got busted up in his last fight, Froch lost, AA got his ass kicked, big difference.
