Former World Boxing Council super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) has finally tasted defeat in losing to Mikkel Kessler in his last fight in the Super Six tournament on April 24th, in Herning, Denmark. With one win and one loss on his record in the Super Six tournament, Froch must win his next fight against the huge puncher Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s) on October 2nd if he wants to make it into the semi finals of the Super Six tourney. Froch and Abraham will be fighting at the Chapiteau de Fontvieille, Principauté de Monaco, in Monaco. This is the neutral venue that Froch has been craving for, as he feels that he should have won his last fight against Kessler. In an article by Steve Bunch at the Mirror.co.uk, Froch has this to say about his loss to Kessler: “I feel I was the victim of a home-town decision when I lost my WBC title and my unbeaten record to Mikkel Kessler in Denmark.” You got to feel for Froch. He really does seem to believe that he should have won the fight against Kessler, even though few boxing fans agree with him. This was Froch’s first defeat and it looks as if he’s taken it quite hard. Instead of thinking too much about how he should have won the fight, Froch needs to figure out why he lost it. http://www.boxingnews24.com/2010/07/abraham-froch-carl-in-a-must-win-situation/
