I dunno if AA wins the tourney overall. I think Kessler takes it. But AA will KO Taylor. -
AA is definently the dark horse. imo kess is the favourite and alot of people have froch as second but frochs flaws are there for all to see, AA is an unknown quantity at SMW.
imo he will be much more active at this weight, he will be fresher and stronger in the ring and imo this is his natural weight class. he can attack well to the body and has heavy hands which he uses to throw clusters of punches.
imo he will beat every other SMW in the tourney and might give kess alot of trouble. i dont think he could KO kess, kess has never touched the canvas as a boxer (am or pro) and imo his footwork and reflexes keep him out of trouble. but AA might have some success by going downstairs; if calz can back kess up and slow him down by going to the body imagine what AA would do.Last edited by hookoutofhell; 09-03-2009, 12:40 PM.Comment

Abraham doesn't have the style to win this tournament, imo. He's not active enough and if he cant knock 'em out, and if the fight isn't in germany, he aint winning.
I got Dirrell or Ward winning it all.Comment

I can't wait for this to start. I can see Abraham doing very well, and getting to atleast the final four.
