Was ANYBODY actually impressed with Abraham tonight?

[Guest]

the manchine is from los angeles.

i've met up with him at lakers-clippers games at staples center.

manchine is a big clippers fan.

It's funny that Carnivore thinks he's American.

I know for a fact he is Lasse Viren, the great finnish Olympic distance runner.

Finland KO'd Russia the first time but I admit they came back well from the loss. I don't believe the excuses about Russia being "overconfident" and "unprepared" in their first meeting, Finland simply used superior strategies and heart to overcome a big size disadvantage.

training and tactics.

the finnish soldiers were well trained.

they were well prepared and equipped for fighting in snow and forests.

Abraham has sent out a statement of intent, at least he didn't let Taylor out box him like Froch did. I'd like to see Ward and Dirrell step up too.

Russia never asked for a rematch so they just had the Socialist championship.

They wanted none of those finn badasses on skis to take the North European Capitalist belt.

That weakens them in my ATG rankings.

Well, they weren't all that well trained and lacking in equipment but surely more prepared and determined to fight during winter than the Soviet soldiers brought from the southern parts of Russia.

Finland's army had much more experienced people leading the troops, having been through the Civil War in the early 1900's, than Soviet Union which had lost most of its high ranking officials due to Stalin "cleaning" out the ranks.

So in that way I guess they were a bit unprepared.

Finland's ally, **** Germany, supplied the Finnish forces with military equipment and advisors during the war with Russia.

Only during the rematch. Finland had no one's help during the Winter War with Soviets and Germany having a peace treaty (which didn't last) which meant the Soviet Union was free to occupy Finland and other surrounding countries without **** Germany's response.

Only a handful of Swedes enlisted to help Finland in the efforts to defend the country.

it was just a bad matchup for Russia but i'm off their wagon...that loss to Afghanistan killed it for me

Abraham is boring, has stamina issues, cant fight for 3 minutes a round, trusts in his power too much, but had the perfect opponent in front of him. Taylor does not know how to win rounds.

[SOPH~ REP.]

He looked alight vs a straightline fighter but i was impressed with his power
