Can Arthur Abraham get knocked out?

Anyone can ge KO'd (except maybe for Oli McCall
)...
...though, it's hard to accomplish against AA.
1. Yeah,he might be vulnerable to the body (had his ribs broken in an uplead to fights on several occasions). But it might have been a problem of his body not to adjust well to the limit of 160 as those injuries first occured in 2008 at a time were AA already found it hard to make middleweight.
So bodyshots might do the trick but AA is tricky to get hit to the body b/c his arms can almost cover all of it and most opponents found themselves being warned or punished by the ref for hitting AA low.
2. high workrate and working with hooks also seems to be a good weapon to hit around AA guard and hit him on the temple. But that leave them open trough the middle and even with AA being slower than Bute or Ward, he'll still be faster with his straight, short right than those two.
If Abraham would use those advantages not on purpose but rather instinct he would already have been beaten, but due to him using those intentionally, he's hard to master and lay out his style of fighting as traps to make his opponents commit themselves to explore their errors when doing so.
That's why he's that hard to beat...as he goes by the saying:"Not the strongest or hardest punching will win but the most intelligent."Last edited by Tom_Tocca; 12-12-2009, 10:55 AM.Comment

I love it when people claim someone can't get KO'D. It's ****ing boxing anyone can get knocked the **** out....Sure Abraham has a hellava chin but he can still get KO'd. I remember that Lajuan Simon did actually hurt him. Even someone like Dirrell who's not a huge puncher can do the job. Speed kills and Dirrell got some serious speed. Don't be surprised if Dirrell hurts drops and maybe even knocks him out connecting with some fast counter punches that Abraham didn't see coming.Comment

Everyone could be koed. The man fought 6-7 rounds against Miranda with a broken jaw. Surely he has got temper.Comment

Miranda's white socks were soaked with Abraham's blood after that fight in Wetzlar. They turned pink before the fight was over. Edison was covered with his blood. The ring looked like a murder scene. The white ropes were spotted with red all over the ring. Randy Neuman's blue shirt was covered in red. I went into the ring after the fight. You can not even come close to realize how brutal that fight was from watching it on TV. I have never seen anything close to this in my life.
Abraham at this point in his career will NOT be KO'd by anyone. He is too hard to hit and I have never seen him close to going down. He can be beat on points, and that it how I see Ward winning the finals.Comment
