    Just watched this fight...

    I swear, Abraham's punches have to be one of the ugliest things I've ever seen in sports. As wide and sloppy as they are he's eventually going to get punished when he steps in the ring with someone who can effectively counter.

        You'd just LOVE to see him get punished, wouldn't you?

        By the way, to someone who doesn't hate white people, Abraham's punches aren't really ugly at all...

        In fact, I thought the punches that knocked out Miranda, Demers, Gevor, Ayala, El**** and Ikeke were beautiful to behold!

          Correction, someone who places white fighters on pedestal doesn't find his punches ugly.

          I never said he didn't have power...that's why he can get by with what he does.

            Some white people don't know how to do anything except play the victim card.

              I think the same thing about some black people.

              Always whinging, looking for sympathy.

                Arthur was not impressive.

                Im not sure if was the weight, lack of preparation or if he was just not motivated at all for the fight.

                Maybe a combination of all those things

                  Mt102879 has the deepest imaginable hatred for all white fighters and their fans.

                  You'll notice if you go through his posts, he never has anything positive or good to say about any white fighter, and is in fact negative and hateful towards all of them.

                  So I was not surprised to read that he finds Abraham's KO punches "ugly"

                    He didn't appear to be as much in control. He did not seem to be as confident and strong as he usually is, and I think it had to do with his needing to lose 15 pounds in too short a period of time. He was weight-drained.

                    He looked better at 166 against Miranda, so I think he should move up to 168 now.
