Carl Froch vs Arthur Abraham in Montreal September 18th

Even if the fight would've been in the UK or even in Froch's backyard, there's only one possible outcome: Froch is losing this one by KO.

 

Good news! :good

 

Froch might lose but makes me laugh how everyone is sure he will get KO, He took solid shots from Kessler and Pascal and Dirrell and didnt get KO, yet AA is soooooooooooooooo much stronger at 168 he will do it for sure?

 

They will need the help of a local promoter to help with the promotion. Otherwise it will fail miserably (for ticket sales).

The Bradley-Holt fight only had like 1000 tickets sold one week before the fight. Until Interbox stepped in to save the show. In the end 7500 people showed up.

I believe Froch's promoter has some ties with GYM so I expect them to be involve.

I'll be there if the tickets are affordable.

 

I truely think this can go ANY way in ANY way.

Froch can win on points, and if AA is not busy enough he could be otworking AA. And Froch does not tire much for AA to wait for the opponent to tire like he likes to do.

Froch can win on KO. If AA stands here with his high parades. The parades who got him bloodied against Dirrell. Then Froch might KO AA because Froch is physically very very strong.

AA can win on points. Taylor was beating Froch on points (not by much though), and AA was beating Taylor on points... AA certainly can win on points if he is busy enough early on.

AA can win on KO. He will here rely on one single thing: that Froch is the slowest in the tourney. That doesnt mean he is snail because he is not, but he is the slowest. And he keeps his hands low, so AA certainly can get a KO.

____________

All of these four outcomes can be countered by the other fighter.. so really hard to predict this one.

 

Cant even see arthur knocking froch out.

 

I doubt he could headbutt that much on neutral ground

 

In Quebec. Why would you assume they'll be rooting for an Englishman?

 

I see it the same as JoeAverage, this really can go any way.

 

More likely to get an actual crowd in Montreal than Vegas. When two of the more well known American fighters in Dawson and Tarver sell less than 3000 tickets total for two fights, there's no possible argument for holding a fight there except for fights where a casino stumps up enough cash to make it financially attractive.

 

I have to admit that it was some ugly stuff with holding and hitting, head butting etc.

n Germany against AA, Ward would have had two points deducted in round one, and would have been DQed in round one if he had done that.

A shame because Ward is a good fighter, and now we will never know if he needed to do all that.

 

You can ask yourself whether it is easier for fans with a background in the Motherland to get to the fight (from US and from elsewhere in Canada), or fans from Germany to get there?

Of course it will not be as if the fight was in Nottingham. The crowd will likely just want good boxing for the majority, but of the ones with a bias, it will probably be mostly for Froch.

 

Froch had less than a hundred fans in Massacheusets for the Taylor fight. Should see similar in Montreal. People of Armenian extraction much more likely to attend.

 

Against Taylor Froch had 100 Brits and the rest against him.
Against Taylor AA would have perhaps 300 Armenians and te rest against him.

However, in a fight between Froch and AA, there are likely to be what 300 Brits, 300 Armenians, and then the rest will be many kinda neutral and quite a few with some favor of the English speaking fighter from the motherland - over the German boxer who doesn't speak English. This non-amenian and non-english - but pro-english audience will be the bulk of the fans.

In fact while the majority in Quesbec area are of French decent, these are the numbers for English etc. decent:
England: 593.000
Ireland: 198.000
Armenia: 23.900
Scotland: 14.300
Northern Ireland: 14.200
Armenia: 23.900
Italian: 225 000
Jewish 80 000
Germany 90 000
Greek 58 000
Portuguese 47 000
Polish 47 000
Haitians 74 500
Chinese 63 000
Lebanese 49 000

While the 20.000+ from Armenian may stick out to you, is there really any reason to think that almost 700.000 of English decent shouldn't give Froch more support than 20.000 for AA?

 

Loser of this fight may be out of the tournament.

And because its in Montreal, the loser of this fight against Bute in early 2011 makes sense and money.

Agree with this

Fight could be won on points because both fighters got respected chins.

Fight could be won by KO because both fighters got respected power.
