Carl Froch: Arthur Abraham is the head case, not me!
Super middleweight rivals Carl Froch and Arthur Abraham have continued to exchange words. A semi-final bout in Showtime's Super Six Boxing Classic, it was postponed from the planned October 2 date when Froch suffered a back injury in training camp.
BoxingScene.com reported on Tuesday that a date of November 27 in Helsinki, Finland was being discussed. The previous venue located in Monaco is not available on the proposed November date.
King Arthur has some doubts about the "back injury." He thinks it's a possible situation where Froch is having cold feet because of his loss to Mikkel Kessler in the second stage of the Super Six.
"It's all mental with him. I think his one and only defeat to Mikkel Kessler is still in the head of Carl Froch. He cannot let go," Abraham said.
Froch didn't waste much time in responding. He said it was Abraham with the mental problems and the outcome in the Andre Dirrell fight is proof.
"If anyone has problems in the head it is Abraham. You only have to look at his last fight against Andre Dirrell. He was out-boxed, couldn't handle it and got himself disqualified," Froch said.
