according to AA on the scene
I wouldn't be surprised if Froch agreed to fight Kessler in Herning and in return asked for home advantage for the AA fight.

im giving froch a good chance of stopping kessler but against abraham i can see him getting seriously sparked, abrahams a beast and froch's chin is there for the taking.
abraham will be a step to far for froch's bravery and his chin can only take so much, sad really as its been very entertaining seeing him gettin walloped by pascal and taylor and him just taking them as if it was nothing.
any word on this supposed big deal fat micks landed yet? bbc itv?

I can see a spectacular KO here that will make all the highlight reels. You cannot defend with your face against Abraham and expect to stay conscious. Its a stylistic nightmare for Froch.

So true. The prick cant even get him on any real tv! The super6 should be huge.

Froch is a seriously flawed fighter.
He reminds me of Enzo Macc......................but with a much better chin.
He jerks his chin in the air - is upright and static - and there to be nailed by a fast powerful right hand.
So far he has taken it.
But Abraham is really going to put him too the test.
In fact..............Kelseer right hand might too.

froch did not get walloped by pascal, it was a good even fight. Taylor, ok he was getting owned a little bit, but there was something there to suggest he had something in the locker.
AA however will wait for his chance, and doesn't mind looking shit whilst he does that to be fair. If AA doesn't get his chance though, can see froch decisioning this

as abraham is a slow starter and likes to sleep for the first few rounds im guessing froch's gameplan will be to win the first 6 or 7 rounds and then get on his bike for the rest of the fight, add that to home advantage and froch could win but we all know what carls like, he likes a swing up and his heart will end up ruling his head, expect abraham to land late on and froch will be on ice.

Froch's punch resistance hasn't gone like taylor's has though, and i think someone with a decnt chin would not have been flattened like he was against AA. not saying they wouldn't have been in trouble, but would possibly have had enough marbles to cope and recover.
Carl may just cause an upset here.
There is no doubt though, that AA is a demon at SMW.

I'm happy wherever it's held as long as we get this one in England. If Froch and Abraham overcome Kessler and Dirrell this could be huge. O2 would be a great venue for it.
As for the fight, I'd mostly agree in that I could see Froch leading going into the second half of the fight only to get sparked in the later rounds. Hope I'm wrong though. If he can keep out of the way of the King's bombs and last the distance however, I could see Froch taking the decision.

Abraham was much more active against Taylor, and actually started letting his hands go more and more from the third round on, over the first two he was doing a bit more feeling out. I tend to think it would be a similar pattern versus Froch, use the first two find range, and then step up the pace in the third and fourth. He fought for much longer stretches versus Taylor, as weight drain wasn't an issue.
Froch is a tough guy, and fun to watch, but I cannot possibly see someone as easy to hit as Carl going the distance with a banger like Arthur.

Can't see that happening unless they tape off the top tiers. Froch just about drew 8000 for the Dirrell fight in his home town. Nobody outside of nottingham and hardcore boxing fans know who he is, and as much as his stock may rise with a win over Kessler, there's no chance he will fill the O2.
It's a shame, it really is, as Abraham v Froch is a massive fight if they both stay undefeated in round 2 but in reality nobody in london will give a shit.
Fat Mick is a great manager but an absolutely dire promoter.

If it's in Nottingham I'll go.
Hopefully it won't be on at 2am again though..... why can't they just show it on tape delay to the Americans so we can have a few beers after the show is over.
Given that it's a Hennessy show the only fight worthy of note will be the main event, let's have it on at a reasonable hour please.

think froch has got more chance than being given credit for. he doesn't have a suspect chin, and recovered well from taylor knockdown. Plus if AA does his usual and pisses about for 6 rounds. froch isn't someone he is going to be able to throw around or take on the gloves, froch has got genuine power on a world level.
He need to keep his fucking chin out of the way though does froch

I hope Froch's chin can hold out for another few fights, wish he would stop using it as his defence. I do fear Froch will be caught out one day when his chin gives way, will definitly go down fighting if he does however.
Hopefully he will see sense and move tis to Manchester,manchester is the proper home of boxing and this would do better buisness than in a shothole like landan

I want to see how Abraham fights away from Germany,much as I admire him Im not convinced German fighters like leaving there beloved crowds,some fighters are carried by the home fans,lets not dismiss Dirrell to pull out a crappy spoiling lunging SD and perhaps put the odds nearer a Froch betting favourite,if Abraham blasts out Dirrell or boxes smartly to a tidy decision I for one will be more convinced but at the moment I see Abraham and Froch fairly level behind Andre Ward

Froch has a chance against AA. I can see him looping rights and lefts around Abrahams guard.
Only a slight chance though.

Froch will flatten Abraham. His body is there for the taking and Froch throws sledgehammers to the rib section. He was beating up Eastman in sparring before he went off an arguably decisioned him.
Froch = all wrong for abraham.

Get this to the Boxing Capital of Britain...Manchester of course...:yep
If not do the decent thing for Froch and get it to Nottingham, the least he can hope for after going to Herning...:yep

Froch is all wrong for Abraham. Froch loves to get into a tear up straight away. Abraham is a poor starter. I think Froch will either hurt him early or be able to build up a large points lead and HOPEFULLY get on his toes later on in the fight. I dont think Abraham is as mosterous a puncher as people are making him out to be and even if they went toe to toe late on, with Froch's chin, stamina and tremendous will to win I dont see Abraham winning this.</p>
I think the Kessler fight is by far harder than the Abraham fight. I may put a tenner on Froch losing to Kessler and then beating Abraham

Chill Dan,are you denying that Dirrell hurt Froch in the 10th when he sent ole granite chin backing off to the ropes?His chin is not as good as advertised...

He did wobble Froch at the end of the 10th:

Wobble, NOT HURT and being wobbled once or twice doesn't mean you have a shit chin.

I never said Froch doesn't have a solid chin (it would have to be with that defence), but he certianly seemed to be hurt by Dirrell.

Froch is the only man in the world (aprt from Granite Chin Fleaman) who can defend himself with his chin :lol:

He did seem to be hurt by Dirrell in the tenth but that was a peach of a punch. Nearly took Froch's head clean from his shoulders.
Abraham is a beast as the weight though. I think Froch could take his bombs for a little while, he does sometimes roll with the punches more than it appears, but if he leaves his chin out to dry it's only a matter of time before it starts to catch up with him.
Froch needs to either catch him early or roll with an early points lead.
