He had a tough childhood! [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYzwdBLeGxg&feature=player_embedded[/ame] When I heard him describe the type of environment that he grew up in and the hardships that he had to overcome growing up, I was blown away. I mean how could a person endure that and still make it out. He's lucky to have survived the rough streets of Nottingham. I mean just look at some of the hard knock experiences he hadÂ… 1) His father was strict..........but not overly strict. 2) He went to public School! 3) He got into fights at school! 4) He had a motorcycle at 13, and when he fell off, he got back on. 5) Some kids actually stole his bike! 6) He hung out in neighborhoods where there were black kids and minorities. Unbelievable that he was able to overcome all that and go on to become SMW Champ. If a guy can overcome that type of adversity and hardship growing up, then taking on an Arthur Abraham in the ring will be a cake walk compared to hard life he lived an that's why he will win.:happy:thumbsup
good story, dosent mean he's a better fighter than abraham. and if this was true what happened against kessler?
Yes, but there were no SLICK AFRICAN AMERICANS vacationing in Nottingham when he was growing up, were there? :think
I wonder if Froch ever walked to and from school all by himself. If he did, it's all over for Abraham. :thumbsup
I like Froch, and kindof dislike Abraham, but this fight is gonna be too close to call. I like Froch to win, but Abraham could end this fight at anytime. If I was a betting man, I would put my money on Abraham by midround stoppage. Probably by TKO.
Froch had to settle for corned beef sandwiches for lunch in school when all the other kids ate prime ham sandwiches. This was in fact the cause of the many fights he got into in school as he was relentlessly teased by the other kids for having an inferior meat in his sarnie.
I hope Froch wins this one. I'm leaning towards AA, but hopefully I'm wrong and Froch pulls it out. WAR FROCH!!!!!
