    Why didn't Froch KO Abraham too?

    Abraham has a tight defense and fought with a broken jaw against Miranda. He's a different type of boxer, also Froch choose to stay away from his power and box his way to victory and not steamroll him.

    Like Tua before him, Abraham stays in a turtle shell with his chin tucked at all times. Also mentioend, Froch was also content to outbox and stay away from his short power punches.

    That Abraham has an incredibly tight high-guard, and a solid chin. . .

    Abraham has a strong beard and his guard is tight and strong making it difficult to catch him clean. Bute's defence is more reflex based.

    This.

    At no point did Froch open up against Abraham. He fought at a safe distance.
