Abraham is tired of waiting for Froch, saying “I won’t like to wait seven months for one fight. It’s not good for me.”

Abraham has had to wait longer for this fight with Froch because Froch wasn’t happy with the original venue of Germany, and instead requested that it take place in either a neutral venue or his home country of England.

Then Froch later injured his back, making it necessary to postpone the fight again. It now looks like everything is ready for them to fight on November 27th in Finland.

Abraham had this to say to Froch at a recent press conference: “Make sure your [Froch] head is clear otherwise I’ll knock it off” The fight was originally supposed to take place in August, and then it got moved to October and now it’s taking place in November.

Abraham wonders what’s holding Froch back, and a lot of fans wonder the same thing.

Froch says he plans on going for Abraham’s body in their fight next month, saying “Arthur has his guard up high. Common sense tells you to work the body.”

The problem is Abraham is quick to fire back with power shots when he’s hit to the body, and Froch, with his low guard, could wind up an easy target for Abraham’s big power shots. This could end up being Abraham’s easiest fight due to Froch’s weak defense and tendency to to want to slug it out all the time.
