Froch vs. Abraham to take place on November 27th or December 18th
September 20th, 2010
By Sean McDaniel: The Super Six tournament fight between former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch and Arthur Abraham will be rescheduled for either November 27th or December 18th, according to news from the Telegraph.co.uk. Froch injured his back while training recently and had to postpone his October 2nd fight against Abraham until either November or December, depending on how well Froch’s back is coming along.
Froch had originally been under the mistaken impression that the fight would take place in Nottingham, England. But when he found out that Abraham’s promoters wanted to have the fight take place in Berlin, Germany, Froch immediately began protesting. He felt that he couldn’t win a decision over there, and he had already just been beaten by Mikkel Kessler in a fight that took place in Kessler’s home country of Denmark.
After a long period of negotiations, the two fighters finally agreed to have their bout take place in Monaco on October 2nd. All looked good until Froch suffered a back injury while training recently. Now, it’s unclear when Froch’s back will be healed sufficiently for him to get back in the ring, but the hopes are the fight will go ahead in late November or mid-December. Froch won his first fight of the Super Six tournament with a 12 round split decision win over Andre Dirrell last year in October.
However, Froch had big problems in his fight with Kessler, and seemed to lack the stamina to fight hard for the full 12 rounds of the fight. Froch will have to fight much better than that against Abraham, because he hits a lot harder than Kessler and if he’s able to land his punches with any kind of consistency, Froch may end up either getting knocked out or badly cut up.

Froch rd 9 win 30/1
Froch has a reach advantage and an underrated jab when he decides to use it and not brawl! If he’s uses it and does’nt decide to go into the trenches as he would call it he wins allday on points! If he decides to to brawl with AA im saying this now HE WILL GET KNOCKED OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you read it properly you wills ee i don’t liek the guy> If he is more famous like you say then it is only due to tantrums about venues and fights he didn’t win and should have and all that rubbish. Point is he didn’t and all people are talkign about now is how poor his style is and how lucky he has been. He is terrible… I really don’t see what some people see in his stupid style and his sulking moaning personality. He talks like he i s a big thing with his demands, truth is he doesn’t generate enough revenue like other fighters such as Mayweather etc to have his own way. He moans before and after every fight. Just don’t get it. Not a Cobra, a warrior or a good champion. say what you like he’s proving it for me it’s not just an opinion
Cobra wins all day on points, Abraham fights in bursts and will be too far behind on points by the time he gets going. Froch will not get stopped
Abraham sends Froch to the Hospital
getting to the point this super six is not worth getting excited about. The fighters are not cooperating so f**k it.
I respect both of them and this will be a great fight. AA will win easy if he fights a close fight as Froch cant throw any punch there. If no close fight I think 7 rounds is enough to send Froch to KO. But froch can send Abraham to KO too as both has very hard punch. Anyways I believe and I know the KING is going to be the winner here but I want to see a good action fight so I am waiting. Froch and Abraham you are the only men here in this tourney(Green is out this is why I am saying so) and we all are waiting for the fight.
No Shaky Froch is far more famous now than when Calzaghe was around. Probably because he’s fought 4 top level fighters in his last 4 fights and beaten 3 of them.
Shaky….I say this with all kindness and respect but you are looking stupid all by yourself with such comments.
“Froch seemed to lack stamina against Kessler” I really question of the author actually watched that fight. Because if you had you would know both fighters were tired because of the exhaustive pace of the fight. Everyone seems to think Froch is getting ko’d. Seriously? Your betting on Froch getting KO’d? Thats like betting on Paulie Malignaggi to knock out an opponent. Froch wins by late stoppage, slow stationary fighters with no head movement are made to measure for Carl Froch. Idiots.
just to add…these writers are seriously deluded, lets not forget Froch has won against Dirrell and Pascal and these guys are ranked 11th and 12th on the World Pound 4 pound ratings.
“However, Froch had big problems in his fight with Kessler, and seemed to lack the stamina to fight hard for the full 12 rounds of the fight”
come on guys another anti froch article. I like both these guys but in the kessler fight both froch and kessler looked tired towards the end. Its common knowlege that Froch has the best stamina out of the 6. Abraham knows this will be a tough fight, should be a good one
IMO Froch will win as he can adapt to any style.
frock will beat abraham with ease
anyone who thinks froch will get KO’d is delusional. He’s never been hurt and fairs well against flat-footed warriors like abraham. this will be a close fight, i’m telling you.
I respect both fighters. Looking forward to this fight.
Froch has the reach.Froch hits as hard as anyone . Froch has the will and he has the chin to beat any so called super six fighter.He can easly out box Abraham. But can he control the warrior spirit and hold back from getting into a slug feast with booms away AA. If he slugs it out his odds drop from75/25 to 50/50.
Postponement..? I smell FEAR.
are we blaming froch for an injury ? if nobody likes froch and he is injured like legitimately like kessler isnt it common sense to drop froch from the super 6 and just have Abraham Vs Green ?
Froch in the 10th – By then Abraham won’t be able to take any more punishment
You lot are dumb if you think Abraham opening up more will win him the fight your wrong, he would be throwing his defence out the window and making it a tougher fight for himself. He will stick to what he does and if he hasnt got a ko after 8 he will start looking for it a bit more.
Arthur throws more punches he is exposing himself much more and Froch would have a field day.
This fight is huge for Froch and he has had a few fights and gone in with injuries but this fight is to important and he needs to be 100%.
ARTHUR WINS BY KO 9TH……………..
Froch by UD, if he doesn’t get decapitated!
