    I see a 12 rounder, both are durable.

    Abraham doesnt get going until the second half of the fight which gives him a total of 6 rounds to stop Froch, unless its a decisive KO punch I cant see it. Froch has power but I dont rate his combination punching and AA crab l;ike defence is effective.

    AA wins a tight decision, possible split.

    I think Froch will stop Abraham.

    I think he'll have too much non-stop aggression early and stop him middle rounds.

    Cant make my mind up. I just can't see Froch letting AA take those breathers with his gloves in front of his face all night.

    yep this and the fact that Abraham is generally terrible in the first half of the fight. By my reckoning Froch will have taken something big out of Arthur by then. I think we may see Abraham getting stopped here

    Abraham always seems to start slowly, but Froch has taken a while too in some of his recent fights, to really get going anyway. I can't wait and i agree it will likely go late, possibly the distance, with a few brutal late rounds.

    Abraham stops Froch. Arthur is P4P the hardest puncher in the sport IMHO and Froch leaves himself wide open to eating punches all night. Forget 6 rounds, one is all it will take. At some n the second half of the fight Abraham will land like kessler did and Froch will be supping his christmas dinner through a straw.

    I'm glad you pointed that out, I've read it a few times and it didn't make any sense.

    Don't think Froch will stop Abraham. Abraham's has a constant guard and Froch is slow. He'll be hitting his guard all night.

    Froch will be scoring occasionally when Abraham starts to open up but Abraham has a good chin and won't take many.

    Froch also get's tired in the second half of his fights and that'll definetly work to Abraham's advantage since that's when he starts to open up and fire.

    I feel Abraham is going to knock him out.

    :rofl

    Erm Dirrell, Taylor, Kessler and Pascal

    Froch's best work came in the second half of all four of those fights.:patsch

    ??? Froch looked tired in the Kessler fight in the later rounds.

    If he goes into caveman mode like he did with Kessler in the last few rounds then Abraham will stop him.

    No he didn't, and he'd have took enough out of Abraham in the first half to have to worry about him later on

    Think Abraham may actually stop him. If he struggled to hold shots from Dirrell, Pascal and Taylor it doesn't bode well.
