    I expected him to win, I would have been shocked if he had lost. Right now I'm kind of impressed, I think he might win the whole tourney with Kessler coming in a close second. Got to see how Kessler/Ward goes, maybe Ward will shock me and beat Kessler.

      I thought he was underrated going into the fight, and I wanted to see how the weight affected his quickness. While he's never going to be lightning quick, I thought he looked as quick, if not quicker than when he was making 160 comfortably.

      Yes, he knocked Taylor the **** out whose been iced twice in his last three fights, but the bomb came out of know where and landed right on the button.

      I think he went up. Still, I think he may get outpointed along the way.

          Yeah he does sometimes. I think he sometimes he has too much faith in his power, but I feel that soon it may not be there, and that he'll get outpointed for giving away too many early rounds.

            Yeah he did. I picked Taylor to win a close decision. I hadn't seen anything from AA in his past fights that made me think he would beat Taylor. He proved me wrong and I now respect him as an elite level fighter.

              ye definitly his awareness of his power and reliance on it could be his downfall
              i think he will beat dirrell in the next round though,although andre did very well against froch he is facing a different kind of beast is AA and could well get KO'd badly,i hope not though-dirrell gained a new fan on saturday night

                He did what most expected, but I was impressed. He was thoroughly dominating before the KO, he clean swept the fight from like the 5th or 6th on.

                  Abraham has so many ko's on youtube.

                  It's hard to believe people didn't rate him highly. You can skip over the dull bits and watch some vicious one shot ko's against pretty good guys.

                    Yes and no. I want to give him loads of credit for a sweet KO but I feel Taylor has faded pretty badly over the last couple of years since the first Pavlik fight, so that's hard to do. I'll look forward to seeing more of Abe though, looks like he could be a beast at 168.
