By Scott Gilfoid: Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) is finally facing Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s) this Saturday night in their Super Six tournament bout at the Hartwall Arena, in Helsinki, Finland. Froch’s old WBC super middleweight title will be on the line, as Mikkel Kessler has vacated the belt and Froch will have a chance, not a big one, to try and recapture it against the devastating puncher Abraham.

After months of making Abraham wait while Froch bickered over the venue and then came up with a back injury the fight is finally taking place. It’s going to be good to have this fight out of the way so that Abraham can show what I already know.

I see Froch getting knocked out in a Paul Williams fashion this Saturday night. In order to survive against a big slugger like Abraham, you have to be smart, fast, and have great defensive skills. While I think Froch is smart when he’s having a conversation, his decision making in the ring is questionable. He tends to lower dig in his heels and slug when he should be trying to box. That’s not good thing to do against a power puncher like Abraham. I think Froch is too stubborn for his own good.

It’s okay to have to self belief and all, but a fighters got to know his limitations. Sadly, Froch is one of those types of guys that fights like he believes he invincible. It’s the kind of child-like way of looking at opponents and thinking you can just trudge right over them as if they’re not there.

That may have worked for Froch against his limited opposition while in the UK, but it’s not working anymore, as we saw in his battles against Jermain Taylor, Andre Dirrell and Kessler. And it won’t work against Abraham on Saturday.

Froch is going to out there and try to slug with Abraham and end up getting his head taken off at the shoulders by one of Abraham’s big right hands.

Abraham has put both of his Super Six tournament opponents in the hospital, and that’s with both of them fighting a defensive fight. Froch won’t bother with defense, which is why he’s out of there much faster. I just hope the medical team has a nice long stretcher to carry Froch win just in case this goes as bad as I think it will for the British fighter. I wouldn’t want Froch’s feet dangling over the sides while he’s being carried to the ambulance.
