Can Froch back Abraham up ?

He can back him up in terms of knocking back with shots and offsetting Abraham's advancements, Also bodyshots hurt Abraham but naturally the fight will be fought in the centre of the ring with Froch circling looking to launch his attacks.

 

Abraham is in his first Full Contact boxing match at Supermiddle Weight.

In all his other Supermiddle Weight Matches, they have only been semi-contact. His oponents have not been aloud to hit him in the body.

His defence is crap, whats his defence..? putting his gloves beside his head, and taking shots...?

When you facing a puncher like Carl Froch thats a bad move, his power will penertrate through the guard.

 

Trust me mate Froch has a good jab, just ask Pascal and Taylor because they got hit by it more and more as the fight went on. It's hard to see because he brings it from low and changes it from flick jab to a solid jab. It's not piston like but it's not like his uppercut which is like he's in slow mo.

 

also he'll mark up more with the gloves banging into his face all night

 

this is the first time abraham will be fighting a big strong super middleweight who hits hard!

 

Fact is the jab doesn't have to penetrate to be effective against Abraham, Froch can use it to set up hooks around the side and lower the hands if thrown to body etc. I do think he can drive through the guard at times but i'd tell Carl ''to throw some with intent but at times look to just use it as a set up to bring Abrahams guard in tight and work around sides etc''

Edit: Dirrell punched Abraham's gloves and they would land onto his face and marked Abraham up...his defense isn't the smartest thing to do.

 

i dont know how much froch has left he was in a war with pascal to win the title, got outboxed for 10rounds against Taylor, got tottally outboxed for 12 rounds against Dirrell and was in a war against Kessler can he really take another

 

Another 50/50 fight for Froch - AA hits a bit harder than Kessler but isnt as good a boxer.

Hopefully Froch has enough in the tank to get through AA; one thing that points in his favour is that he doesn't have to find him and Froch is the heaviest hitter AA has faced

 

IMO, the Best way to back someone like AA up, is to drive him back with activity, see some fighters seek respite by going straight back when you throw a lot of punches at them, that is what I anticipate would be the best way to back AA up, only when you have him on the back-foot, you most probably wont want to sustain that workrate, so since you will have established centre ring, you better keep him backed up by getting back to long range and get the jab off to keep him back.

 

If Froch actually uses his physical attributes (height, range,... defence?) he has a good chance of winning this

He does tend to open up every combination with a jab as well.. Imo his tactic should be to utilise his significant reach advantage over AA and throw 1-2s to back him up, then come in with body punches and straight rights. then move out of range again and use the jab to keep him at bay
