Carl Froch Vs Arthur Abraham @168

I was only having a laugh, your english is exceptionally good :good

 

if its in germany abraham gets a decision also.
i still think froch and pavlik can stop abraham but not many others around that division.
kessler vs abraham is interesting.

 

anyone think Froch has got the toughest take in fighting Abraham and Kessler??

 

Abraham stops Froch.


Both have stamina and workrate issues, but Abraham's might not be as acute at a higher weight.

And while Abraham's defence is high and tight, Froch's defence is extremly porous.

Abraham will be landing bombs with relative ease, whereas Froch will be struggling to land anything of signifigance.

If Froch upped his workrate and punch output, and managed to stay lucid for 12 rounds he could eke out a descion, but I don't see that being a particulary realistic scenario.

 

Na I'll admit it and in all honesty I didn't know he used to have that nickname, Kos, mate. Why choose that? The insult was easilly the most random thing I'd read all day, though. I'm gonna start calling other people 'smurf ****'s' now when I'm pissy.

 

There is no denying that it is a top notch insult :good

 

Doubt it.

 

No doubt :deal

 

Agreed. I could also see Abraham winning by decision, which is not something you would usually envisage with Abraham at the top level. Froch's output isn't particularly high, if Abraham keeps a tight defence and punishes Froch's lapses he could counter his way to a close decision.

Or stop him.

 

just someone pls explain frochs stamina issues will ya pls.

also frochs output hasent been that high in his last 2 fights but he won,when his workrate has been high,say with reid(i know,i know,he was shot to hell)he won

 

Robin Reid? That wasn't Robin Reid he was in the ring with.

I can throw a lot of punches at a heavy bag. Froch's work-rate is not very high at all. Watch the fights for yourself, he's always been quite lazy. He worked hard after 6 rounds against Taylor when Taylor slowed down, before that he was doing nothing.

 

i know it wasn't reid,just a shadow,i admitted that,just the 1st name in me head mate,
i know his work rate isn't very high,but it can and has been,and you gotta admitt he has beatern everyone+ ive watched a lot of his fights,always thought he was lazy,but can box and fight when he needs to,:good

 

Froch threw bombs for round after round against Pascal for 12. He runs miles and miles a day and is a gym rat. Every fight he has knocked them out or finished strong.

If he was staggering around like a drunk, like Bute was against Andrade then you'd have a case but he hasnt ever.

 

Perhaps I mispoke, Froch's is not a stamina issue as such, its a reluctance to work hard and build off a stiff jab. Froch essentially fights like Roy Jones minus the reflexes, athleticism, accuracy or power.
