    Right, he's Winky with power. Sick power.


    And he did not "get his ass kicked" in the first fight. He took Miranda to school and then held on after a freak injury.

      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
      P4P #1 one punch ko power.
      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.

        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.

          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.

                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.

                    I agree. I've always thought he was overrated. He has power but he lacks basic boxing skills. He'll get exposed one of these days.

                      AA's is pretty good but Winky's defense is 1,000,000x tighter. Notice how Winky keeps his elbows tucked in much more, AA's elbows stick out on the sides.
                      Yeah but he can't ko u like AA can
