King Arthur Abraham and Carl “The Cobra” Froch faced off today at the kick-off press conference in Helsinki, Finland ahead of their Super Six clash. In Group Stage 3 of the Super Six World Boxing Classic, the two superstars will lock horns at the famous Hartwall Areena on November 27, with the vacant WBC Super-Middleweight Title on the line. Froch (26-1, 20 KOs) said he found it odd that Abraham calls himself “The King” and also dresses like one. “Abraham has a picture of himself posing as a king at his house,” Froch stated. “He wears a plastic crown and a feather coat. I find that very strange and it tells you something about him. He will certainly not be the king after we have met inside the ring. I am going to stuff him like a chicken.”
Abraham (31-1, 25 KOs), as always, had a proper reply. “I will be happy to give him a plastic crown after I am done with him. He will never get a real crown. And he will not get the WBC Title either. I think he is a good puncher but he is an even better talker. I don´t like to talk much before a fight. I prefer to let my fists do the talking in the ring on November 27.”
Froch also made fun of Abraham´s size, saying he brought in undersized sparring partners of around five feet. “That will be very good preparation for our fight,” Froch stated. “But I have a lot of respect for Abraham. He has good power and he is a fair sportsman. I am ready for an explosive fight. There will only be one winner and that is the Cobra.” Replied Abraham: “Inside the ring, size does not matter. All that matters is the head. And Carl Froch better has a clear head on November 27. If not, I will take it off.”

Abraham by K.O.
Froch will sneak in a few questionable tactics and steal a very close decision.
Abraham by decision!
I agree that Abraham will beat Froch, but either way I am looking forward to it.
Things between the two hard heating warriors are heating up ladies. Froch is the deliberate start with who doesn’t lose a word battle, and Abraham did reply just. Of course, the objective of this forthcoming bout is not about who’s wearing what but it’s the belt. Froch generally likable but he can sometimes be ridiculously pathetic too. Either he’s mad at Abraham for not granting him the edge for the venue to take it to his hometown or he simply knows that he’ll succumb to Abraham. It’s a knock out prediction alright I’m just not sure who will whom. I hope Abraham shuts carlie’s broad mouth.
