    Arthur Abraham has fallen far.

    Lets face it, AA despite having brutal strength is just not cut to fight at this weight. He is too short and honestly his skill set doesn't match most of the fighters in this tourney. He beat JT but as shot as JT was, until he got buzzed in the 9th, JT was right there with him. Had this been the same JT before the brutal knockouts in previous fights, Abraham would of lost that fight.

    Fast forward to last weekends fight. Regardless of what you think about the ending, Abraham got his ass cut up. He didn't do much, his defense was average at best, and honestly the power didn't look too powerful.

    AA should of stayed at 160, he is too small to compete with the guys at 168. He will lose to Froch and sneak in the final 4 due to his kayo of washed up Taylor and then be bounced in his next fight to whoever he faces off against. I'm a fan of Abe but he won't win either of his next two bouts in this tourney. Boy has he fallen from the favorite in most peoples eyes because he knocked an already finished fighter in impressive fashion, to a guy that when you break it down, has little shot of winning.

    His stock was raised. You're being overly dramatic.

    The way he laid out Dirrell and had him stumbling, crying and quivering on the floor is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

    Not to mention, he is now a notorious badass.

    The only way for him to go is up imo.

      What's scary is the angle he hit him at, he couldn't even get full torque on his punch and laid out Dirrell cold.

      Illegal or not, he didn't even hit him with his best shot and Dirrell had gone to god for a while.


      I agree with the DQ, but that's some fearsome power AA has.

      He can be losing but will always be in it until you knock him out.

        He's strong no doubt but he isn't going to beat Froch. A loss to Froch will pretty much give him the 3rd or 4th seed. So, either a rematch with Froch or a matchup with Ward. He won't be able to beat either of those guys.

          He'll kill Froch if Kessler doesn't first.

          Froch got dropped by Taylor and AA hits way harder.

            I'm picking AA to beat Froch. But who knows what'll happen. Mentally AA knows Dirrell whooped his ass. He said it himself, he was going for the KO because he wasn't going to win on points.

                I disagree about him losing to Froch.

                He'll stop Froch, IMO.

                    I don't see him having a mental letdown.

                    Right or wrong, your guy laying cold on the floor no matter how it happened doesn't exactly make you lose confidence.
