    It won't happen.

    Don't see Abraham agreeing.

    There would be mass of Froch supporters coming over from England for a start.

    Irish fight fans would definitely go that one - it will be a war.:bbb

    Would love to see it in Dublin, wont happen though, Sauerland will want it on the continent. Dublin is a bit too close to Nottingham for them

    Would love it to come to these shores. Would be the biggest fight here for quite a while. Bring it on.

    It would be great to have it here in Dublin it would sell out the o2. Us Dubs with Dunne retired need top class boxing and if it is Froch and Abraham I will be delighted and would be there in a flash to watch it.

    I like Froch, and would want him to win.

    AA hits people when they are down, just like that cheating Mexican Barrera. **** him.:mad:

    So much for Canada being signed and sealed.

    I'd say Froch has a good amount of fans in Ireland - especially from the fight crowd - who respect his standup persona and all action style.

    Hatton carried a lot of support in ireland too - he was well liked. I remember watching the Hatton-Mayweather fight in a pub (lock-in:p) in Northern Ireland and the whole place was rooting for Hatton. This is a pub were England would be cheered out of the world cup.

    Either way I see it being a bad result for Froch. I like him and being from the UK I support him but he really needs a miracle to get through Abraham and I honestly see Froch on the canvas.

    His style is perfect for Abraham. He's slow, his defence is bad and his main attributes are his power and his chin but he fades in the later rounds and Abraham has monstorous power.

    Wish him the best, even if he does whine like an idiot sometime.

    I agree with the bolded part...the jury is out on your first comment. :D

    I might even make a trip over if the fight is in Dublin :think

    Abraham is hardly Willie Pep...and his power is completely unproven at 168 outside of banging a shot to **** Taylor on his arse...I think King Arthur will meet his match in Froch
