    Pascal doesn't punch that hard.

    I know his KO percentage isn't has high (high 60's I think) but bear in mind he is physically a lot bigger than AA is so I cant see there being a massive amount of difference maybe AA has a little more but I think his power is overated.

    If Pascal starts knocking people out like that, then I might agree with you ;)

    Kessler would beat Abraham, and so will Carl Froch.

    :lol: That was a good one.

    I will rephrase - when Pascal starts knocking out world class opponents like Abraham did against Taylor and Gevor :good

    Obviously it's a hard fight for Froch (as usual :good) but I don't see AA as an unbeatable monster.

    His output in the early rounds is very low - I'd like Froch to hold his hands slightly higher but stick to trying to punch around the guard and build up a lead.

    Obviously Abraham comes along strong in the 2nd half of the fight..... but Froch isn't exactly known for gassing badly, one thing in his favour is his ability to recover once hurt....

    As with the Kessler fight, no outcome would particularly surprise me to be honest.

    I think Froch is made for Abraham tbh, Arthur will take all Froch's winging shots on his guard and whenever Froch pulls away with hands low Arthur would unload with those powerfull fluries.

    To beat Abraham you need fast feet, good body punching and serious accuracy, for all Carls attributes they arent the carrect ones for the job. Even a talented speedster like Dirrel was gatting tagged towards the end and it wont take Abraham half as long to find his range with Carl. Carl's chin is top notch but so is Arthurs and the Kessler fight showed us when he cant hurt an opponent its always gonna be tough.

    Will be a great fight but Abraham takes this for me, possible late stoppage with all the punishment Froch has been taking lately.
