    Abraham looked terrific last night

    Sure the opponent was a bit of an unknown, and as it turns out he was not a real durable guy. But Abraham's defense is tight and his power is excellent. He took the first round off but punched very well in the following two. Demers could easily have continued but he wanted no more and allowed the ref to finish the count.

    Arthur Abraham is the TOP DOG at 160lbs,, in my very humble opinion. Taylor should fight him next.

      Even if Abraham loses as well, I think an Abraham/Miranda rematch will be a huge fight for hardcore fans. And don't be fooled by how he fought after the broken jaw, this guy is not going to run from Miranda.

          I imagine he will. He had a long layoff (it's been eight months or so since Miranda) and deserved to get a few rounds against a prospect.

          Before that he had a string of very respectable opposition.

            I actually saw a bunch of posters here saying that Abraham is **** and Demers would upset him. I have never seen Demers, so I have no clue if he is good or not.

              Abraham is good, it took him good 2 rounds to figure out Demers and overtake the pace, but in third when he upped the pressure, Demers folded.
              Abraham's defense is good and he knows how to move about the ring. His offensive ability includes pretty much every punch in the book both to the head and to the body, which he attacked more in the first two rounds.

                NOw, the bad: The first two rounds, Abraham fought more or less in spurts and was rather defensive, only showed single punch attacks(which was rather annoying) I even thought that this was his major flaw, since fighter was Abraham's style should have the doube jab, but in third he showed good combination punching, double jabs, jab-hooks etc...
                I will need to see more of him, but for now he IS one of the top dogs in the MW.
