Thoughts on Abraham's defense.

Wait, wait, what? People think Abraham's defense is one of his weaknesses?

He doesn't have the jab/ straight right hand Clottey has, he throws wide hooks. Just don't think he'll lay a hand on Dirrell. He isn't agressive enough and he doesn't throw too many punches, I honestly don't think AA is that good.

Well, you can't say that all he got is wide hooks because he knocked Tayler out with one straight right hand down the pipe.

That's the thing, Abraham is build like a truck and I don't think body shots will affect him. Even that, I don't think anyone has the guts to get too close to land a body shot as they might get caught with something big.

I'd still like to see how he took it if someone was to really commit downstairs... it might be the way to get around that defense, brings his arms down. Then again, as you said, it's the problem of getting close to crank the shots up, AA is a huge puncher...

That's hilarious. I didn't even know they had those stats. It's funny though, I don't think he has that great of a jab and yet they put his jab as a strength. I agree, he has a granite chin but his power should've been added to his strengths as well. I'm shocked his defense is listed as one of his weaknesses though.

Unless someone can aply the same stratagy B-Hop used against Winky and work around the guard. But you'd have to be physically strong to do that. By the way, AA is very open to the body, reason why Raul Marquez broke his ribs.

I agree with this.

Rarely did he throw those; rarely. Whats weird is that a one-handed Taylor managed to win 4 rounds in my opinion.

so was i mate,considering taylor didnt really land anything big in 12 rounds,his D must be pretty decent

his jab is pretty good but not one of his main strengths

Did he really brake his rib? I didn't see that fight. Was it from a good body shot or how? Well, obviously from a body shot but how. LOL.
