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.
