    He said he'll fight like Dirrell did but not exactly like em. You know Froch likes to trade and doing that with Abraham spells disaster.

    I was actually quite impressed with how he jabbed and moved in the early rounds vs. Kessler.

    If Dirrell laid the blueprint on how to beat AA, then surely Kessler laid the blueprint on how to beat him. Or was that a robbery. I forget?

    :rofl thats classic
    Good luck Carl
    maybe he finds an even better way to ***** out than Dirrell
    other than that Abraham will KTFO him early if Froch tries to act like a boxer

    Wasn't really a blueprint. Close, competitive fight. I had Kessler by a point, not a robbery, but Kessler would not win 7/8 times out of 10 fighting in the same manner, that's why it's not a blueprint. It's a blueprint if sticking to that gameplan practically guarentees success.

    A good boxer can out box AA. We've always known that. I just do not think Froch is capable of being slick enough to out box AA for 12 rounds without getting caught by something big.

    However, there is another way to beat AA that fewer people pick up on. Pressure, pressure, and more pressure. Now Arthur's fans will tell you he loves pressure fighters, but bear in mind, the best pressure fighter AA ever fought was Edison Miranda, and Miranda damn near killed him their first fight.

    If Carl will keep his damn hands up, and keep that long stiff jab right in Arthur's grill, he's on the right track. AA has no effective answer for a stiff jab. He turns his gloves palms in and covers his face; slide over and hit him with a right hand bomb. Wash-rinse-repeat. Slide the other way and use a left hook; wash-rinse-repeat. Arthur will back into a corner where Carl can use his height and reach advantage to maintain the distance, and suck the life right out of Arthur.

    That's not a prediction. It's just a way for Froch to win. I don't think mimicking Dirrell would work for him.

    Froch's footwork and lack of defense prevent him from doing anything that Dirrell is capable off. Froch's only real advantage here is his reach...

    AA > Froch power
    AA > Froch skill
    AA > Froch defense
    AA = Froch speed
    AA = Froch chin

    Cards are stacked against Froch in this one

    2 swingers with good chins going at it, should be exciting whatever the result

    Froch will probably try to be ellusive but will most likley look goofy at it and forget about it totally when he tires

    This fight is very important so id expect fireworks as a loss could even be career threatning

    AA's handspeed is actually faster.

    Doubtful, as is him being more skillful.

    No doubt at all about the handspeed...

    Regarding the skills - well, AA has better skills because he has a defense whereas Froch hasn't.

    Froch has the reach advantage and he has a jab (not the best but ok). More important he has a much higher punch output. That's all.

    AA has way more power, a better D, at least the same good chin (personally, I think his chin is much better), the same determination and mind-set (warrior-like) and he has better handspeed.
