with the dirrell blueprint... abraham is not so invincible anymore. Froch needs to keep up with that speed and stamina training and running drills like he is doing. Froch can beat abrahams guard into his face just like andre did... I think froch will take more chances which could be in his favor if he combos and gets out of there in time. froch should hit that guard then hit the body then move the **** out of there.... abraham don't like the body shots..and cries foul about it all the time. I have a feeling this will be a foul fest with point deductions on more than 1 occasion. both seem to have that niche for hitting in the back of the head. The question is...How will Abraham come to the fight? same old tricks? or As a man on a mission avenging his loss and his name?..will he work on his stamina as well...and bring fight in the early rounds instead of giving them away? Abraham only seems strong when people put forth all the work in the fight and start to slow down and gas out. thats when his guard comes down and he moves in on what he thinks is a wounded animal.
I think the key to beat AA is to have a very good handspeed and workrate. Froch is a slow starter but so is AA. But I recken after being DQ in his last bout, AA will make some changes in his style. Naturally Froch will also make adjustements in his fight with AA so it will be a very interesting fight. I expect both fighters to be active in the first half of the fight with AA knocking Froch down with one of them big swings. Whatever happens after that, I cant wait to see :hey
Froch needs to do what Dirrell did to AA although i dont think the ref will be on Frochs` side like he was Dirrells.
i can see the first half of this fight being awful, niether man wanting to commit, froch punches too wide and slow which will be the decider, and his chin can only last so long against abraham, im picking abraham to stop froch late.
I hope Froch will win i see it being a pritty even fight and could be decided by who trys a little harder in the exchanges.
BANG on the button. People seem to forget Taylor was outboxing Froch for the majority of their fight. Fair enough there is now a "blueprint" on how to beat AA set by Dirrell, but Froch can't and does'nt fight like Dirrell does, so that blueprint might aswell be thrown out the window for Froch. The Kessler fight showed why i think AA will beat Froch, as posted earlier... Froch can win if he fight's smart. He proved against Kessler he can't fight "smart" and not go into a war, it's part of who he is. Fair enough Dirrell dropped AA but Dirrell can apparently bang, where as Taylor had Froch down, and Taylor aint the biggest hitter, specially compared to AA. I'd like to see Froch win i really would, but as soon as i seen on the schedule, i picked AA and i'll continue to do so
