He was 17 pounds over a week or so ago and 6 pounds now. I cannot say I'm an expert in boxers normal weight-loss but it sounds like a pretty big deal to me (if what Wegner says is true). AA risks being drained and weakened on saturday.

If Pavlik doesn't sign AA for his next fight I'm pretty sure we'll never get to see AA-Pavlik at 160.

The guy needs to move up he has a set of shoulders on him like a heavyweight, he is one of the biggest middleweights i have ever seen! he so thick set. He looks flat sometimes cos of weight makeing, at super middle he would have alot more energy

Abraham just has to move up, he's going to damage his body in the long term badly.

His bones are already like unboiled spaghetti. He fought with broken ribs in his last 2 fights.

Yeah, AA is clearly struggling to stay at 160. It would be interesting to see him at 168. I don't think he would beat Kessler, and that is a fight that could potentially be made.

Abraham will have to move up a weight class.

His body simply won't be to handle making 160 for much longer.

I think Abraham will hurt Kellser. Dont think MK is all that. Being i dont give Calzaghe ANY credit how can i to Kellser who lost unanimously . Abraham KOs Kellser.

At the presstraining yesterday Abraham's trainer Ulli Wegner said that AA was 3 kilo's over the middleweight limit.

Abraham was calm and expected to shed the weight before saturday....

** Six pounds is nutin'. Most people fluctuate near that amount daily.

Dehydrate the last 24 hrs, make 160, then eat and drink like a King over the next 36 hrs and step in at his usual 170+ ring weight.

The strain has been getting down to that 166 baseline. Harder to do when older. Probably his last year at middle
