    Never in a million years inside 6, Froch has a much better chin than Abraham, who isn't the "monsterous puncher" he's made out to be, big puncher, but not a killer. Abraham got rocked bad in one of his early fights against a nobody, and I mean bad, can't remember which one though but I remember it well enough.

    Froch UD sending Abraham down in the process during an exchange. wouldn't be surprised if Froch tasted canvas either

    Froch is a good fighter, but not a good boxer. Everything he does -- AA does it better. Froch has the reach advantage, but that's it. AA punches harder (actually a lot harder), has faster hands, better defense. Anything else than a win for the king will shock me. In my book Froch is tailor-made for Abraham. I may be wrong, but it would really surprise me.

    - Kessler doesn't punch as hard as Abraham
    - Taylor didn't outbox Abraham, only Dirrell was able to do that.

    He handled Pascal well for 12 rounds using that reach of 76" and height 6'1. Pascal has proven to be real good, check out his fight against Dawson. Definitly has faster hands than AA. Abraham is 5'9 72" reach. Froch uses his long reach well and can outbox Abraham.

    Oh forgive me, you must have not understood that what i wrote makes perfect sense. you ****ing noob ****.
    Me thinking Froch has Abraham's number can be used in reference to future events. so don't even attempt pedantry when you are obviously not a master of it. Now kindly eat a dick.

    Froch keeping his hands low against AA is asking for trouble.

    as it turns out it's a good thing that this fight is for the vacant belt. Otherwise, i could see Froch's back starting to act up again. But with the title on the line, it should assure that the fight goes forward.

    Froch is going to win rounds unless AA has learned from the Dirrell fight.
    I think Froch will win. AA is a one trick pony and against higher level opposition, that's not always enough.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it goes the distance for the fact of the two being pretty durable

    Contrary to common opinion Arthur's best punch is not any of those big looping lefts or rights. His best punch is a short and rather explosive straight right to the chin. Just about the only time I see AA use good foot work is when he is stepping in to throw that punch.

    Froch uses his left hand to guard his freaking knee cap, and telegraphs his jab really bad. Those bad habits should give Arthur the opportunity to step into a straight right, and then unleash hell. I doubt if Froch could weather more than one or two of those kind of storms.

    History says it's dangerous to try to out box Abraham over the course of 12 rounds. Froch needs to stop telegraphing his jab, and keep his left hand virtually glued to his jaw bone. He needs to jump on the normally slow starting Abraham right at the opening bell. Don't let this mother****er breath, or have even a seconds rest. Hurt him early and keep him hurt. When AA is under a lot of consistent pressure he likes to hide in a corner. Drive that son of a ***** back in a corner, and use height, reach, power, and volume punching to suck the life right out of him. That's how Carl can win, but I just don't see him dropping the two bad habits I mentioned in one training camp.

    Froch landed some huge shots on Kessler which he took incredibly well and vice versa. Has AA ever been hit like that? No, so the jury is out as to how good he can take the huge shots, we know Froch can take them. Its just gona be a case of who lands the big shots and more of them. I see Froch being too busy and wearing AA down so much so that all the meat in his punches have gone by the last third of the fight.
