P4P #1 one punch ko power.so what he knocked out Miranda .. he arguably lost(got his ass kicked) the first time they faced.. and i think Miranda might be damaged goods after that demolition by Pavlik and in all honesty, Miranda was overated himself but a pretty good fighter not just this monster everyone was saying....
Abrahams style is very easy to outbox. he stands there with a high guard takes shots on his gloves and looks to counter.. hes slow.. a guy like calzaghe would win every round against this guy.. Pavlik would shoot straight rights through the high guard because that guard is more successful against hooks and pavliks bread and butter is the straight right..
Abraham hasnt shown me nothing in terms of this great boxing skill and a reason to believe he can take on any of the elite.. he's slow with not enough head movement.. I dont see the big deal about this guy.. As soon as hes beaten he will disappea and everyone will forget about him even those who hype him to beat pavlik and calzaghe
winky wright defense without winky feather fist
Underrated jab
underrated body puncher
NEVER been down NOR hurt his ENTIRE carreer(including miranda 1)
AA miranda 1=most courageous show in the HISTORY of boxing(IN MY OPINION)
smart fighter, does not waste punches
I wish he would fight better competition but would not call him a 'felix sturm"!
if his "style" was so easy to outbox he would have been outboxed by now don tyou think?????
Calzage beats him ONLY because he is busier, abraham wont even wince the whole fight calzage aint hurting aa, on the other hand aa puts calz to sleep IF he can catch him, most likely in my opinion.
I like Pavlikc and I hope he beats hops so we can have the two best undefeated middles. 50/50 on that fight.Comment

He has devastating one-punch knockout power in both hands from the first second of the fight until the last and is mentally tough as nails. He is also very smart and has taken guys out all kinds of shots.
Dude is scary. But yeah he can be outboxed. By someone with great foot and handspeed and a great chin because he will get you.Comment

Excellent observations. I'd add that his lack of tightness/defense when he throws will be his downfall. The fight has to be made but I believe Pavlik KO's him for this very reason.It's not easy to outbox him, it may look that way because of the way he fights and he's not slow, he's not the fastest guy out there but he does have decent speed, his high guard is also very effective, he normally gets caught when he throws his own shots because he sometimes drops his hands when he punches, he sometimes gets off balance when he's throwing punches too.Comment

I agree. I think Pavlik would step in to lure Abraham into punching then take a half or full step out to get just outside of Abraham's range when Abraham starts throwing his punches and dropping his hands, then come back with his own precise shots.Comment
