Kalle Sauerland, the promoter for Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s), doesn’t think the judges will be needed for the September stage 3 Super Six bout between Abraham and former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s). Sauerland said this in response to the bellyaching from Froch, who is overly worried about not being able to win a decision if the Abraham-Froch fight takes place in Germany. Ever since Froch lost his stage 2 Super Six bout to Mikkel Kessler by a 12 round unanimous decision in April in a fight in Kessler’s home country of Denmark, Froch has been stressing about not losing another by what he feels is an unfair decision, foreign media reported.

In an interview at Sportal.de, Sauerland said “I think that will be even more spectacular. A lot is at stake, first, to be world champion, second, a lot of money. It is an important fight for both. If you look at the fighting styles of Arthur Abraham and carl Froch, the fight is a hot number."

"We are still in talks about the venue, but we believe the judges wont be needed that evening. Arthur [Abraham] was at the Kessler-Froch fight and has identified weaknesses in Froch’s style.” Well, it’s not hard to find a weakness in Froch’s style of fighting. Heck, a blind man could point out all the mistakes Froch makes when he fights, starting with that awful European stand up style of fighting and Froch’s nasty habit of keeping both his hands drooping down in front of him just handing there like low lying fruit.
