This should be another tough fight to pick, could go either way. But I will go with Abraham by decision, though this is a fight where anything can really happen.

Though I will check out the odds, Froch I am guessing will be the slight underdog, may put some money on him. But will lean towards Abraham. Abraham should find it easier to land in this fight than his last against Dirrell, and I think the power on his punches will be the difference.

Froch has been doing a lot of work to the body in sparring for this fight. Abraham don't like it to the body (notice how he has his shorts so high?) I see Froch out boxing him early, digging big shots into Arthur's midriff and going into the 2nd half of the bout with a commanding lead. BUT that is when it all becomes a little bit dodgy for me. Abraham, if he is able to, will up his game, and if he can force Carl into a brawl I see him stopping Froch. However, I'm banking on Carl to be smart enough not to engage in a slug fest, to lose a bit of the bravado and to eek out a slim UD.

I'm in total agreement with you.

Froch is VERY underrated. Its true he doesn't have an eye catching style or all that but he's alot better than it appears. Ask Dirrell whom he thought was tougher and I bet he'd say Froch.

I think Carl will just outsmart Abraham in there. He'll box early, by the midrounds it'll be a war. Froch to me is the mentally stronger of the two. When he got hurt against Dirrell in the 10th, he fought back. When Abraham was outboxed by Dirrell, he resorted to hitting him with a blatant shot while the man was down to try and gain some advantage due to his frustration. Another thing is that Abraham is just not busy enough. His strategy too often consists of just waiting for his opponent to tire out. I don't think that gets it done. And contrary to what most feel, Froch DOES have the power to hurt him, if not stop him.

Froch via UD.
