    What a perfect fight. I believe neutral ground has been agreed on. Both fighter lost the undefeated record last fight. Both fighters are desperate to regain momentum in super 6. Both fighters have KO power. Who you picking to win and why? I pick Abraham by KO in round 11, but I hope he avoids staying in his shell too long.

    It's a very interesting fight.

    If I'm making a case for Froch I would say he finds a way to win or at least make a fight of it. He looked better against Dirrel than Abraham did. Abraham's "I'm on defense, now I'm on offense, now I'm on defense" style is hardly the DeVinci code.

    On the other hand. Where perhaps Abraham can be outboxed he is the most powerful guy in the tourney or near his weight class. He doesn't need alot of space to generate power. Froch has got to stay on top for the whole 12 and he is not fast and elusive like Dirrel.

    Another factor is how they call low blows. Abraham's freaky long, big arms go all the way down to his belt area.

    Abraham should knock him out, Froch leaves himself open too much and too often
    bad Idea with Abrahams power...

    I think AA looked better against Dirrell than Froch did even thoug Dirrell faught a much better fight against AA. Abraham landed solid shots, stunned Dirrell in the 3rd and knocked him down in the 10. Going down the stretch AA had all the momentum.

    This fight is going to be a lot tougher for AA than some think, Froch is one of the most underrated fighters in boxing right now. NOBODY will ever have a easy fight against Froch, the guy is too tough. Having said that, Abraham is the worst opponent for Froch due to his poor defense and willingness to mix it up. AA will start slowly, pound the body in the middle rounds and start dropping Froch when they mix it up in the latter rounds, forcing Froch's corner to protect the warrior from his own toughness by stopping the fight. AA will earn back his respect but a lot of us will applaud Froch's effort, that much I'm sure of.

    If Abraham just stands there and takes punches he will lose.

    If Abraham loses to this ****** then he should never be allowed to box again.

    I was leaning towards Froch, but seeing how he was whining about his loss to Kessler - I dislike the ****. I hoped he would he had confidence, but would be big enough to acknowledge defeat. Apparently not. Dellusional ****.

    AA by KO whenever he decides to let his hands go.
