What do you think of Arthur Abraham now?

[Stickman]

Check my sig, there is this guy that bet me that Abraham would go down. I'd take that bet with you and Pavlik any time. Abraham has never shown me that he was hurt and he's fought a lot. I'll bet against you that AA does not get stopped by Pavlik and I'll bet with smb else that he wins as risky as it is.

There is a greater chance that somebody stops Zaghe than somebody stopping Arthur.

Look, I have no argument that Abraham is tough, none at all. What I'm saying, basically, is that any fighter can be put on the canvas, if he's hit just right, and it doesn't always take hard punch to do it. A liver shot will put anybody down, if they're hit right. And I'm not saying Pavlik definitely would put Abraham down, either...like I said, if I were forced to make a call now, that'd be my call. Pavlik by late TKO bodyshot, or decision (higher work rate than Abraham, by far). On the other hand, I'm also saying that there's about a 40% chance that Abraham will catch Pavlik with a big shot and end it suddenly, early on. But as for taking a bet that a fighter will never go down, that'd be foolish for me, since he'd have to be retired before I could get paid, right?

You know Bat, I had never sen Abraham fight before this week, and had only seen Miranda against Pavlik, but I downloaded every fight of theirs that I could this week and watched them, and it wasn't that hard to make the call.

I had a few fears about it being in the states and at 166, but I still made my largest ever bets on this site and I am delighted, like you, to have been a winner.

Happy days, and I am definitely a fan of Abraham now, as someone else posted, he has a very unique style.

Cheers to you Abadger! Let's get drunk!

Abraham has great defense and raw power.

Montiel is more skilled but he's also more chinny

I like how he set Miranda up for those hooks.Hes Pavlik biggest threat.Winky should fight Abraham.He might get knocked out though.


Lets see if Arum has the balls.Hes been protecting Pavlik lately and if he keeps it up ,Pavlik is going to leave him hanging and get with another promoter.

What planet have you been on? Miranda and twice with JT - and that's protecting Kelly? Please. Kelly is going to clean out the division since JC had to ***** out. I like AA, he seems like a stand up guy, but facts are facts - he only has the punchers chance.

i agree to some extent...but his defense works BECAUSE of his toughness and natural physical strenght.....thats why i think the attribute there is his toughness...

his power is also obvious......but seriously if someone goes in there to just outwork abraham and then run out of trouble, araham's overly passive approach will be EEEEEEEEEEEEEASY to capitalise.....abraham has bad defense for body shots too......

[Derranged_]

Abraham impressed the **** outa me tonight. He came into the ring, cool as a ****in clam; let Miranda think he was dominating the fight, and then boom, he KO's him in dramatic fashion!....

Montiel is a chinny...but seriously, the guy eats so many flush straight shots, that his toughness really comes out.....oh and he's not "skilled", he's just on defense mode a lot of time and just looks to explode with a left hook......like abraham...
