    honestly? same as before. Patient with tight defense. fights in spurts and hits hard. very wild punches. I dont think he is that good truly. But its been working for him so what do I know.

      He still waits too much, and if he can't get his thunder off he can lose a decision.

      But I tapped him to win, because he throws short straight shots and has halfway good defense.
      I think he has a great defense! Very little getting trough those high guards.

      BTW I cannot believe Tunney chickened out of a bet with Pantera2000 after the Miranda-pics following the open work-out.

          Batman,

          Don;t act you were chicken-stricken yourself. At least you've bet so many more points than me. Arthur has vicous power. His one punch power at middleweight has no equal.

            i agree. arthur has good d for sure. he leaves himself open alot with many wild shots. worked so far, but he has never fought anyone one a pavlik level.

              I was leaning a bit on edison b4 the fight. I thought he fought his ass well during the early rounds but he seems though to overworked a little trying get in by that stone wall defense on abraham. props to arthur for taking those hard shots and absorbed them pretty good. When its time for him to let go w/ his own punches he senses miranda was already tiring and his plan works for him. I was hoping for a revenge by miranda but at the end of the day the good guy won. g**** to both.

                After seeing Arthur tonight I have some concerns for Pavlik. Arthur's guard is so tight and unlike Winky he can punch like a mother****er. If he catches Pavlik with one of those shots Pavlik will have a hard time.

                It's either a decision for Pavlik or a ko win for Arthur.

                  Those pics were fearsome yes. But just because a cake looks good it doesn't have to taste good!

                    There will be more to a fight between these kids than sledgehammer head shots. Pavlik does fantastic body work, is very tenacious, and has a will of solid stainless steel. I think he'd be about a 3/2 favorite to win. If I had to pick right now, I'd say it'll be a body shot that wins the fight for Pavlik.

                      what do you think of arthur abraham now?

                      He is tough! The fact that he was able to survive despite a broken jaw in his last fight against Miranda, he should be one tough dude!
