By Scott Gilfoid: Former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) wants Allan Green (29-1, 20 KO’s) to beat WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (21-0, 13 KO’s) in their upcoming Super Six tournament fight on June 19th, at the Oracle Arena, in Oakland, California. In an article at Thisisnottingham.co.uk, Froch explains his reasoning’s for wanting Green to win, saying “The Americans are so pro Ward and [Andre] Dirrell that I’d like Green to win. He has come from nowhere to replace Jermain Taylor. He is a big puncher and Ward isn’t and I think it would spice things up if he knocked Ward out.”

Will Froch pull out of the Super Six tournament if he doesn’t get his way and have the fight venue at his desired location?
By William Mackay: I was somewhat astonished at watching former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) in Showtime’s episode 6 of Fight Camp 360 in which Froch was already threatening to pull out of the Super Six tournament after his fight with Mikkel Kessler on April 24th. Before I watched this episode, I was under the impression that Froch had only started the threats to pull out of the Super Six tournament weeks after losing his fight with Kessler. However, at the post fight press conference after the Kessler fight, Froch learned that his fight against Arthur Abraham wouldn’t be taking place in Nottingham, England. Froch looked pretty upset about it.
Is Froch giving himself too much credit by worrying about losing a controversial decision to Abraham in Germany?
By William Mackay: Former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) has recently said that he wants no part in fighting Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s) in Germany for their stage 3 super Six tournament fight in August or September. Froch fears that he can’t win a decision in Germany because of the judging. But I think Froch is really seeing things kind of twisted. Instead of worrying about losing a controversial decision to Abraham, Froch should be worrying about being knocked out by Abraham because I see that as the most likely scenario of a fight between them.
Should Froch stop complaining and just fight Abraham?
By William Mackay: Since being beaten by Mikkel Kessler and losing his WBC super middleweight belt, Carl Froch hasn’t seemed like the same fighter he once was. Whereas before Froch was incredibly confident of his skills and unafraid to fight anywhere on Earth, he is now bellyaching constantly about not wanting to fight his next Super Six tournament opponent Arthur Abraham this place or that place. Froch has already rejected Germany, Sweden and now Majorca for fights locations.
Froch shoots down another location for Abraham fight – News
By William Mackay: Former World Boxing Council super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) is has shot down yet another potential location for his stage 3 Super Six bout against Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s). Froch has already said no to Germany and Sweden for his bout against Abraham. Froch is now reportedly shooting down the neutral site of Majorica, the largest island of Spain. In an article at thisisnottingham.co.uk, Froch said “I don’t fancy that. What about the heat?”
Froch still doesn’t want to fight Abraham in Germany, but is open to Canada or America
By William Mackay: Fighting in Germany is totally out of the question for former World Boxing Council super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) in his next stage 3 Super Six tournament fight against Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s). Froch would like to fight in either his home city of Nottingham, England, America or Canada. Froch feels doesn’t have a chance of winning his next fight if it takes place in Germany, where Abraham now lives and fights.
Abraham vs. Froch fight must take place in Europe, not America
By Sean McDaniel: The upcoming Super Six stage 3 bout between former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) and German-based Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s) won’t likely be taking place outside of Europe, according to Panarmenian.net. Froch, 32, wanted the fight to take place in the United States or his home city of Nottingham, England. However, Chris Meyer, the managing director for Abraham’s promoter Sauerland Events, is saying that the Abraham-Froch fight must take place in Europe, because that was a part of the agreement for the fight. Froch has already said no to the fight taking place in Germany and Sweden.
Froch wants to fight Abraham in the United States – News
By William Mackay: Former World Boxing Council super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) wants no part of fighting former IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s), according to Badlefthook.com. Froch, 32, also doesn’t want to fight in Sweden, a neutral country that was offered up to him as an alternative to Germany. But where Froch does want to fight is in the United States, where Froch has fought twice before during his career. That’s all well and good that Froch wants to fight in the U.S., but it’s not exactly practical because a fight between him and Abraham wouldn’t likely draw flies unless it was heavily promoted and place in a hotbed of boxing, like Las Vegas, Nevada.
Abraham-Froch: Carl saying he’ll retire if he loses – but will he?
By Scott Gilfoid: Former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) is talking retirement if he loses to Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s) in his next Super Six tournament fight in September. According to news from The Sun, the former World Boxing Council super middleweight champion Froch is saying “The next fight [Abraham] is all or nothing for me. If it doesn’t go my way, I will seriously consider retirement because I’m only interested in big title fights. I won’t hang around at domestic level.” That sounds pretty dramatic coming from Froch. I never thought I’d see Froch thinking about retirement after only one loss. That’s seems kind of hasty if you ask me.
Will Froch pull out of the Super Six tourney if he’s forced to fight Abraham in Germany?
By William Mackay: Former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) has recently said that he’d pull out of the Super Six tournament if he’s forced to fight the hard hitting Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s) in the Armenian’s adopted country of Germany rather than in some other location. Yesterday, in an article at The Sun, Froch again spoke about pulling out of the Super Six tournament if Showtime makes him fight in Germany, saying “I won’t be going anywhere east of Nottingham to fight Abraham and it won’t be in Showtime’s interest for me to pull out.”
