    You know when you can get a perfect read on a fight. I have run this fight in my head so many times and watched videos of both. I can't see one way Froch does not get knocked out.

    Someone convince me I am putting my money in bad.

    AA +200 to stop Froch

    i'm 100% sure that aa will knock froch out before the 7th round. froch's ability to block punches with his chin will be his downfall in this fight. and abraham will connect hard.

    i think its a fair bet to make. my money is on a AA KO but either way it'll be a cracking fight.

    Good. I feel better know. Froch is amazing at blocking shots with his face indeed. I see this ending in the most brutal beating. The line scares me like it is too good to be true. AA should be a 3-1 favorite. He is only -170 to win and now down to +190 to stop Froch.

    the main thing working against you is that guys like AA, froch - margarito too - you would probably never have heard of in the elite pro ranks if they didn't have a good set of whiskers to compensate for their poor technical skills...but AA's KO highlight reel is probably better than any fighter around today.

    No I agree but Froch is overrated and the line indicates that. Good to take the value when you can. Spotting frauds and waiting for the right match only way to make it.

    I bet against Froch last time because I just could not see him out boxing Kessler + Kessler has a great chin. In this one I just see Froch getting clocked with a huge punch mid-late in a close fight. I'm probly going to put a bet on closer to fight night. Froch may try and bring something else to the table though.

    good bet on aa for the ko, hopefully aa starts fast this time like he said he will if he let's froch win the early rounds then he will loose to froch.

    those are definitely good betting lines. I like both fighters but I can't see Froch surviving AA's onslaught, specially since his last performance, AA will feel pressured to start earlier and make a good showing of himself..

    **** I don't know, I mean Froch really is a defensive mastermind when it comes to blocking punches with his face, but his chin seems to be pure granite.

    He hasn't faced a real heavy handed puncher yet.
