    Yeah please. I only picked this fight on Tam´s site to my knowledge, and there I picked Froch by close decision. Besides you are one to talk, when you called Froch a bum for years. :giggle:

    Froch is the 168 Vitali, with more talk. The stoppage is there...take it. You need all the points you can get after they gave 1000 to Ward for the withdrawal of Dirrell.

    Why Froch wins he gets Johnson, regardless of the way.

    Froch has to go for the stoppage in the last. It's there and it's a waste of a bonus if he doesn't

    I´m not even sure anymore, that he beats Sturm. Sturm has the only proper trainer in Germany with Sdunek. He´d probably jab him silly.

    great performance by Froch, horrible one by Abraham. I won't be as quick as most of you at dismissing Abraham from this performance, his power had no effect on Froch and he was puzzled by his ankward style. big Froch fan here, so glad to see he'll finally get his props, but was disappointed in Abraham.

    The 12th is what I envisioned the fight generally to look like. I was wrong.

    If I had known AA's head trainer in camp was Tua, I woulda picked differently.

    Looks like it's going to be Ward-Abraham and Froch-Johnson.

    "A Froch decision win earns the Brit the #2 seed in the tournament and keeps Ward at the top, no matter how you slice it. He will have four tournament points with a decision, five with a knockout. Either will leave him just shy of Ward (#1), but ahead of Abraham and Johnson, who are left to battle it out on paper via tiebreaker procedures.

    Abraham and Johnson will both have the same amount of points (three) and knockouts (one), which means it will come down to aggregate scorecard points total. That amount is comprised of the combined total of points a fighter earns on the scorecards in each bout, plus additional points rewarded for unscored rounds in fights that end prior to the distance.

    That Johnson inherits Kessler’s aggregate scoring total (though not his actual tournament points) puts the pressure on Abraham to simply win his fight.

    Kessler had 679 combined points prior to dropping out of the tournament. Johnson amassed 350 points in the fight with Green – 200 actual scorecard points, plus 150 extra points based on 10 points awarded to the winner per each unscored round on each scorecard (rounds eight through twelve).

    That puts the veteran at 1,029 total points; Abraham is currently at 677 points, which leaves him 352 shy of Johnson’s tally (for those at home struggling with the math).

    As you cannot score more than 360 points in a 12-round fight, Abraham would have to be pitching a shutout and avoid getting dropped or suffering point deductions before getting stopped or disqualified in the 12th round in order to mathematically surpass Johnson’s total.

    Otherwise, he’s looking at a scenario where a loss drops him down to the #4 seed, where he would face #1 seed Ward, while #2 seed Froch would square off against #3 seed Johnson."

    I'll find the threads for you then, you lying little Gerry.

    You even said Frock has made Arabham angry, and he's going to start early and KO Frock :lol:

    Fuck me Froch's wife is hot. I could probably put up with all that screaching, I reckon.

    Listen.....Sturm could get in the fucking ring NOW with Abraham and it would be over. The mere smell of Abraham after 12 rounds would kill that Crypto-Turkish faggot.

    It had nothing to do with that. You simply overrated Arabham.

    He's literally a total scrub. I've been saying it for years.

    Yup....I expected Froch to dominate early like he did but what happened by the 12th to happen in about the 5th, 6th, 7th. Abraham's was far too passive.

    Nah. He's just a middlweight who lacks variety. That's all. No need to make it out to be more or less than that. And Froch is just a bigger guy whose variety and work rate and over all toughness were the perfect foil for a guy who lacked the work-rate to take advantage of his glaring defensive flaws.

    Nice by Froch, he was too big, awkward and could match Abraham for strength...Carl deserves the plaudits, but Abe does not belong at 168, although he probably cant make 160 now

    Abraham was so disappointing. Ward's a slightly better matchup but can't see him pulling that one out.
    Froch-Johnson should be a good scrap.

    Yup. The size difference was quite pronounced, Froch seemed able to bully Abraham's physically like I didn't anticipate.

    The 12th was clearly Abraham's.

    11-1.

    The guy is fucking awful Irish, awful.

    A skill less bum with a half decent punch.

    Against someone with a jab and a decent chin he is hopeless, as you see tonight.
