    He's a puncher and thats it. He's being over rated on here though, to the fullest. Dudes riding his nuts too much.

      ...and he's got a tough D to crack, a great chin and he carries his power throughout the entire fight.

        Nah, he has a great defense when he's fighting in his hometown where the ref's give him leeway for getting punched in the gut. Either that or AA thinks his balls are in his stomach

          Abraham to me is still the P4P biggest puncher in the game.

          He just needs to improve his technique some. He has a killer straight right hand but hardly ever throws it.

          Because of that he will always struggle against tall fighters as they can spot those looping hooks a mile away.

          That loss might motivate him more for some slight changes in his game plan. He needs to open up a bit more on the defensive side to improve his offensive side, but that added risk might work out for him.

            Still see AA making the final, I have a hint this loss is going to make him hungrier

              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.

              all that **** yet he still leads in the tourny and is favor to win.

                Cant stand how people call others names like that just for disagreeing with them. AA is a bonified elite fighter and has been for quite some time now, he went up against the worst possible stlye match up for him and lost.. BIG DEAL. Atleast he is willing to fight the best out there and gives his fans a good show everytime he goes to fight. I think he will KO Froch and NOBODY is getting through this tourny undefeated. When the best fight the best, it becomes a question of styles rather than this guy is better than that guy, they are all great fighters.

                  I disagree. AA is a very skillled and dangerous fighter still. To me his only problem was work rate. He was skilled enough to start throwing straighter right hands to land on Dirrell instead of his looping punches.

                  He's not too small at all. Just short. I'm pretty sure he was having a difficult time making 160 too. People like Froch think he's too small, well he'll have to find out the hard way.

                    I would say Froch is a puncher and that's that. Green is a puncher and that's that. AA on the other hand brings defense to the table.

                      Lol damn he just lost one fight to a boxer who moves around a lot and has superior boxing skills. Froch is far from having Dirrell skills. Froch will come to fight and that benefits Abraham trust me.
