Its true he conserves his energy well, but that leads me to believe he lacks some amount of confidence in his stamina. Also you dont need to be the active guy to get worn down, a heavy puncher going at his belly the Marquez did will slow anyone down.

AA is a puncher. He conserves energy to be able to make those flashy explosions. To me it's not a confidenceproblem. It's his style.

yup.

people are saying he looked awful in this fight.

tbh he seemed the same to me. he is what he is.

he's a counterpuncher that has power. the action/style of the fight will depend on his opponents.

Yes he's courageous but he's short. 5'9 that's shrimpy...

Kessler is 6'1 and can control from the outside because he has a good jab but I agree AA can hurt anyone from 160 to 175.

Abraham did beat the taller Ikeke but I think the Dane could eke this one out 115-113 possibly split decision

Counterpuncher is pushing it a bit IMO. He definetely does not rely on counters or at least not single counters. But many of his combos come off as counters but often as well they are set up by the jab.

kessler by ud/sd . . . aa's not active enough. kessler is big enough to take aa's shots and hurt aa. kessler will out work aa and get the ud/sd. but aa\s really tough so i dont think kessler would get the ko/tko.

I've always liked AA.

I just think the Dane is better than people think.

when a fighter goes on the offensive after his opponent is done punching , i consider it counter punching. you know tua and his weird ways of classifying some things.

he never (to me anyway and i'm no expert on AA i've only watched a few of his recent fights) takes the initiative to me. he lets the other guy come to him first and then when the guy is done......then he goes on the offensive.
