I see NONE. Except for the fact that AA might hit harder. Their defense is boring and regardless if you think Winky won that fight, Jermain penetrated the defense as will be the case in the AA fight. This won't be a draw. AA's best opponent was Miranda and I think Froch (the weakest link) in my opinion in the tournament would beat Miranda easily.
the only similarities between is the way they block. Winky is a hell of a lot better at defense than AA. Abraham fights more offensive than Winky and has more pop and is more sloppy.
Guys, did I not previously state that Winky probably don't hit as hard as AA? Did I not previously state that Winky has a better jab? Quit putting words in my mouth please. Shadows, I respect you a lot but I'm sick of people putting words in my mouth.
It's more than that. It's like Cat pointed out, their approach is different. Abraham has a low work rate and explodes out of his shell with counter punches; he also goes to the ropes and fights of them.
Winky comes forward stalking and pushing you back with his jab, which is hard to deal with as he is southpaw.
Winky looks to overwhelm you and shut down your attack. Abraham takes it slow and looks for openings to attack and take you out.
AA defense is similar to winky's but he has faster hands, straighter punches, more accurate punching, and hits like a mule.....
had winky had any power, he would be more liked, but since he didnt'/doesn't, people don't give him the proper credit. i've been a winky fan until of late, i think leading up to him getting bigger paydays he was level headed, but i think him holding out for big money fights when his only fan friendly fight was against taylor which he refused a rematch, which would've got him a bigger payday, i kind of got off the winky train there, because here he is with the money making opportunity and he shits on it, then he tried going up against bhop, which i thought was real lame, and not that smart of a career move..... then to williams..... again after a long layoff, not smart again.
so it's simple shit like that, that has made me not that much of a winky fan as of late.
i think AA is skilled, and has a good chance at winning the tourny.
For reasons already stated, Winky and Abraham fight nothing alike, other than the high guard.

AA hits harder... that's it.
AA hits harder and it is not even close. Winky has very long arms so he can keep his elbows tucked in to defend his body. Winky has a better jab. Abraham is much better body and counter puncher. Other then defense nothing similar.

Not might hit harder. He hits harder by a mile...he's the hardest puncher in the tournament and in MW/SMW
I think AA has a very similar guard to Winky. All forearms and little head movement. What fights were you watching where AA did not have a high guard?
He keeps a high guard homey, but not as much as Winky does. And he don't dig his elbows down to protect his body like Winky does either.
Fair point, catalinul. Winky has a much better jab than AA. That's why that fight was so close. Take away Winky's jab and you have AA, who WILL NOT beat Taylor.
Dude no.
Abraham doesn't even use his jab that much.Winky's whole game is based on the jab.
They are completely different fighters outside the shell defense.
AA ain't got the same high guard/tucked in elbows defense
AA uses the ring more
AA don't jab like Winky
AA is right handed
AA got more power
AA throws more body punches
AA is bigger and physically stronger
AA is nothin like Winky

Are you kidding?
Winky used his jab and high guard to walk you down and put pressure with pretty high volume.
Abraham uses his guard,blocks most punches fro mthe opponent and waits till he sees an opening to counter with his ever powerful punches.
Now Felix Sturm-he does a good Winky imitation.
