Is arthur abraham a counter puncher?

[Tobi.G]

In truth hes not a counterpuncher, up till now i think hes just been tougher than everyone hes fought so far.

I mean he will stand there for like 3-4 rounds just defending and once the opponent starts getting frustrated/weary from hitting his shell he just explodes out of it and that changes the fight. The opponents feel his power and he starts walking them down after that.

Dirrell is gonna get stopped. Why? Well from a technical standpoint he is better than AA but i dont think he can physically hurt him and if you cant hurt AA then he is gonna punk you.

But with that said i think AA could be beat by someone who is mentally tougher than him. But at this point the only person who might be able to do that is ward in this tournament.

Yes, Ward impressed me with his fight against Kessler. Abraham is not really a counter-puncher but he has excellent timing. Timing can beat speed and i see Abraham knocking Direll out. Even though Abraham is verry tough and has a big punch, he fights verry patient and tactical. I think stylistically he cant be really compared to anybody, he has a unique style and thats the problem for his opponents. Its hard to find sparringpartners who are like Abraham so its hard to prepare against him. And he has still potential to get even better.

You seeing that is a damn shame, it'll be Dirrell by UD. AA is going to come out of that shell and get countered all night.

[Pullcounter]

i've been coming across alot of people that say he is, but i dont see it
what fight does he counter alot in?

AA is a peekaboo boxer with KO power.

[SplitSecond]

To some extent yes because he waits for opponents to finish what they are doing and then throws his jab after they finish extending theirs, but this is overlooked due to his explosive power.

it doesn't count as a counter if you throw a punch 10 seconds after your opponent last threw

the only counter i've seen of him is the left hook, and it's a lovetap(tho i doubt it feels like it) and he's back peddling as he does it
it wont work against dirrell, because his reach is way off, and i doubt he has the reflexes to avoid a dirrell jab

[cleaner147]

hes not the typical counter-puncher. but he could counter the **** out of u. best wishes to dirrell

Wanna bet? I set 100,000.00 on Abraham

It's annoying that Abraham is a 2-1 favorite but all his fans want to make even point bets on him instead of giving the odds. They must not have much faith in their man.

I don't even have a 100k. Come up with a better bet suitable for me and I'll take it w/ giving me the odds.
