All welcome - heres hpoing its a good un!

I'll post some round summaries, too, if nobody minds.

Brief prediction: PrimeTime are arguing that Froch needs to stay at range, but I think he'll have far more trouble with that than people think: Abraham has a superb guard and his jab is stiff and educated. I see Froch picking up the early rounds, but getting caught often by the technically sounder and bull-strong Armenian. In my view, it'll be a mid-late round KO in favour of Arthur Abraham, but another thrilling fight.

Good luck, Carl. Prove me wrong.

Froch walking to the ring where Abraham waits.

Looks a small enough venue

Just posted a thread myself - I'll jump in here

Here come the national anthems

Froch wins entrance by way of coolness!!!!

Come on Froch! Never more nervous watching (or listening as I'am tonight) Boxing than when Carl is fighting. Obviously because he is in genuine 50-50 fights!

Would love it if he won tonight, lav it! !!

10-9 Froch

Froch wins that first rd.

Froch 10-9 R1

Feeling each other out round with Froch landing a decent jab to the ribs....

Nothing in it really 10/9 Froch

typical slow abraham start, some good rights to the body from froch

Abraham has taken the centre of the ring, with Froch circling. Froch struggled to get past Abraham's guard early. Abraham tried to rush to Cobra at one stage, but that ended with Froch unloading a couple against Abraham in the corner. A couple of heavy, head-snapping jabs landed by Froch, though, as well as a straight right to the body of the Armenian. Froch also with a couple of nice combinations.

Excellent start by Froch.

1. Froch 10-9

Im Fvcking fuming , my sky dish has got snow on it and is far too high to get to it to clear it off , my picture is shocking , lines all over the screan , only saw about 20 seconds of first round , keeps breaking up .

Good start 20-18.

yep working the body well.

Both men still cagey at the start of the second, assessing eachother. Froch throwing the jab more, but not connecting with any. Froch has more of the centre of the ring here, and he's throwing combinations, too, and landing. Head and body shots landing from Froch.

Very slow from Abraham, but he doesn't look too bothered by the shots landing.

Froch caught Abraham HEAVILY to the body. He's dominating, and unloading.

1. Froch 10-9
2. Froch 10-9

20-18 Froch

AA not doing enough...typical for him.

Abraham too small

He cant get anywhere near Froch. He is gonna get lacy'd or stopped
