    Abraham in 7-10 rounds.

    Froch's defense based on alleged reflexes worked at British level but as we are seeing fall short at World level.

    I think it is far too difficult to rate Abraham on his performance against Taylor.

    I didn't think he looked anything too special against a very battle-worn fighter well past his prime.

    I could see this one being a total slug-fest, but really couldn't say which way I'd expect it to go right now.

    Froch with his shitty defence gets shaken or KD a few times 4-6 rounds then gets up and throws meaningless punches on AA's forearms and gloves and maybe a few Lowblows, then gets KTFO by a left hook/uppercut 10 - 12 round

    The worst possible matchup for Froch. He doesn't have the boxing skills to keep Abraham at bay and he gets beaten to the punch badly in this matchup.

    The one and only thing Froch has going for him is his wide swinging punches possibly getting around the tight guard that Abraham presents. That might keep Abraham off of him for a few rounds.

    This fight lasts as long as the slow starting Abraham keeps it in low gear. And it shouldn't take Abraham too long to see the opportunities for a knockout.

    Taylor at 31 and with 33 fights so far is hardly battle-worn
    ... when was his prime as well, during two Hopkins fights only?

    For me Taylor got too big credit (especially within HBO) by close wins with Hopkins and Winky's draw.
    He just won what he won, he was lucky a few times and thats all.

    if froch fights the way he did against dirrell he will get his head taken off. i couldnt believe what i was seeing when froch was just walking at dirrell w/ his arms literally straight down by his side, only to rock his left everytime before he flicked his jab out there. dirrell was moving away from froch but aa would love nothing more than to let someone who fights like that come right at him.

    froch has a big heart, no doubt. can't take that away from him. its his head i'm concerned about.
