    Direll wasn't scared, just nervous. Big difference.

    I don't like Joe C much either, but I will recognize talent, and he would've given Froch a man-sized beating.

    Nervous about how much it would hurt to get hit. He fought/fights scared and no amount of excuse making is going to change my opinion about that.

    I'll tell you something else, I'm of the camp that believes he faked it against Abraham. It looked almost identical to Griffin-Jones I. Took the punch, looked up to plea for a foul, then all of the sudden fell out as if a punch can knock someone out two seconds after it lands instead of instantly.

    He needed the money worse before. Now he is coming to grips with the fact he won't be the best fighter on his "island" within the next couple of years. He might be legitimately afraid of Arthur, I think he should be. I'm worried AA will permanently damage or disable this guy.

    Froch beat Kessler, but was robbed. He has nothing to be ashamed of.

    You need to stop watching boxing if you call that fight a "robbery".

    Exactly how i see it. After the Kessler - Froch fight it showed us, that Froch is a way better boxer than given credit for. Froch will beat Abraham next :shock:

    I.l guess the problem is, that he has to fight two Sauerland-boxers in a row and therefore don't want to give Abraham any advantaged. Both men need a win to go on in the tournament. Both has fought at home. Neutral ground should be the case.

    Froch thinks, he would have been given the win vs. Kessler, if they fought in England. That said after the Dirrell fight controversy (and if the Pascal-fight was in Canada..??) and then Froch claims to meet Abraham in Nottingham. Of cause that will never happens, but Froch seems it is a rightfully claim. That is strange attitude........I.:think

    Its true that Froch has the tools to give Abraham a tough fight,but will Froch be able to come back, mentally strong enough to execute a gameplan against such a strong puncher as Abraham? Or will he fall apart mentally? I think that mentally,Abraham is the worst opponent for Froch right now...Froch knows that AA Can knock him out with one punch,so he cant afford to make many mistakes in that fight.Froch needs to be at his very best to win this one...I think it will be a very close fight,but i think AA will be able to KO Froch late in the fight... Its either Froch on point or AA on KO IMO.

    Even though I agree Froch is being petty about this what's wrong with fighting in America? Is it a financial thing?

    I love the idea of this fight taking place in a bull ring.

    The location of the Froch/Abraham fight was being discussed before the last round of fights. I don't think either's position has changed.

    Exactly they have both had a home fight , both had an away fight.

    Both are at a crossroads , both need a win , Neutral seems entirely fair to me.

    Froch has had a tough time , he doesnt get the respect he deserves ( he's been poorly promoted no question ) and I , for one , can understand his annoyance
