Froch ready to fight dirty against Abraham if needed
November 24th, 2010
By Scott Gilfoid: It looks like Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) is ready to dig into his toolkit of tricks to get an edge against Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s) if their Super Six tournament fight turns physical on Saturday night at the Hartwall Arena, in Helsinki, Finland. I’m really hoping Froch keeps it clean, because he turned his fight against the talented Andre Dirrell into an MMA-like fight last year in October when Froch bodly slammed Dirrell and threw rabbit shots and held & hit for much of the 2nd half of the fight while the referee stood idly by watching.
I really hope Froch doesn’t resort to fouling for all he’s worth like he did in the Dirrell fight, because I want to see good clean boxing and not some kind of abomination. All Dirrell did was a use a few defensive moves to make Froch miss over and over again in their fight and this was enough for Froch to go nuts and start with the fouling. Abraham obviously isn’t as talented on defense as Dirrell, but I can see Froch losing his cool and resorting to fouling if the fight isn’t going his way. I just hope the referee isn’t disengaged like the one that worked the Dirrell-Froch fight, because he needs to nip the fouling in the bud immediately once it rears ugly head. I’d be taking off points at the first foul and would pull the plug on Froch and/or Abraham if they turn this into a primitive caveman fight.

W- good point about Dirrell I forgot that as well as running like a scared gazelle all night that he ducked low, held on for dear life and moaned to the ref at every opportunity.
Carl is simply saying that he will match fire with fire in every department, as someone once said ‘its boxing not a tickling contest’.
Direll is dispicable…………
Please just stop writing on here
WAR!
Yes.. go on froch.. give Abraham exactly what wants !!
That’s like saying: “If Abraham lays an animal trap.. I’ll put my foot in it !!”
No, its gonna be a proper fighter instead of an all out girlie fiasco that was ward and dirrell
GOD FORBID IT GETS ROUGH IN THERE.
We will see how talented Dirrell is when doing his Elvis impersonator act between rounds and he sings Hond Dog.
@ W you got nerve digin dirrell. dont you know better ? never never nrver never use his name without putting ___ talent___ before it.
Gilfoid will eventually fade away into oblivion.
Ward’s the dirtiest attacking fighter in the 6 and Dirrell used the most illegal tactics in avoiding fighting. Ducking below the waist and facing the canvass is one of the primary no no’s, but Dirrell spends most of his inside time facing the canvass, then has the audacity to come up swinging and act like he’s slick.
Hope this fight doesn’t turn ‘dirty’-god forbid either of these guys should try hitting the other. Best be slumping to the canvas quick, ready for the DQ…
Dirrell hit Arthur Abraham in the nutters twice.
Scott Gilfoid, (at least u spelt ur name right this time), u really cant get over the fact Frotch comfortably beat the AVERAGE Dirrell. Frotch is not a dirty fighter, he reacts to the tactics of his opponents.
And if we are going to talk about dirty fighters, we have got 2 mention ur favourite fighter Andre Ward. He nutted Kessler 3 times. He is a great fighter there’s no question of that, but the fact he always fights at home, has allowed him 2 get away with some really dirty tactics.
I cant wait for Frotch to beat Abraham, i’ll be back on this sight to see what u have to say mr Gilfoid. (no doubt that Abe is a limited fighter, blah blah blah).
King Arthur won’t wilt like Dirrell.
