Abraham, Froch exchange “civilities” before boutNovember 24, 2010 - 13:15 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Arthur Abraham and Carl Froch continued their war of words prior to Saturday’s Super Six clash in Helsinki as the “Cobra” mocked his opponent during Nov. 23 public work-out in Helsinki. While doing shadow boxing, he put his arms up and mimicked Abraham’s high-guard. “I expect him to fight like this,” Froch said. “I don’t think he can do anything else. He will need his guard on Saturday. If I hit him clean and sweet early, it could be over quickly. If not, I will win on points.” And he added with a smile: “I have been criticized for my defense, maybe I will use the high-guard myself.” It was just the latest provocation from Team Froch. In an online story at www.the-sun.co.uk, Froch’s girlfriend Rachael Cordingley had said: “Abraham is only a midget – Carl is going to dethrone the Midget King.” Abraham could only smile when confronted with the latest attack. “Froch has insulted my promoter, my team and me. I will punish him for that on Saturday. It will be a great fight between two warriors. I cannot wait to get my hands on him and make him pay for all the rubbish he has said in the press.” Abraham and Froch will collide for the vacant WBC super middleweight title at Helsinki’s famous Hartwall Areena on Saturday night. November 24 they come face-to-face at the final press conference, fightnews.com reported. Top stories Armenian gymnast, Olympic bronze medalist Artur Davtyan has reached the finals of the World Cup.
