    Love that... can't get more neutral then Switzerland, and we can be sure the fight will start exactly on time also. Nothing like swizz precision

    I don't think this bout is going the distance anyway, but let's hope we don't get Tilleman or Benoist in there if it does.

    yeah this will be a firefight which imo abaham will win. because froch is way to open, he can't fight against abraham with his whole defense only as his chin. if froch fight smart he can win. but i don't think that he will fight smart.

    Abraham knocks him out round 8

    im glad its on neutral ground, i hate all this home town decision bull****, (even though i had kessler the winner against froch)

    Of course it isn't only about the decision, but also what some 'home fighters' can get away with. I don't expect another Ottke vs Reid scandal, but we already had the elbowing and headbutting in the Kessler vs Ward bout, the bodyslam in the Froch vs Dirrell stinker etc. So I think it's a good thing.

    Switzerland: the place for neutral boxing decisions - see Valuev vs. Holyfield...

    That's good but I think Abraham will be too much for Froch. I really can't see how Froch could possibly win.

    Win every early round while Abraham doesn't do anything and then use the jab to keep him at bay when he starts the fight - normally around round 6-7.

    I suspect Abraham has iffy stamina (which is why he does so little early on) and if Carl can inflict some real damage early, I think he's got the chin to hold on. BODY SHOTS are vital on that high guard!

    I think that Froch has a decent chance to win this one. I think his reach will cause AA real trouble and if he employs his jab consistently, then he might take the decision.

    60/40 in Froch's favor for me.

    Last fights he started after 4, but that's not the point in this fight. Froch can be hit fairly easy and against Abraham that's

    So you're saying it's impossible to have this fight on neutral ground anyway?
