    LOL

    That's exactly how I've always felt when watching him fight.
    AA's been doing something right. won 31 (KO 25)

    If AA was throwing ass piss poor as Teddy claims, then he wouldn't be generating power correctly. I guess throwing wide ass punches isn't bad if you're able to land on 25 opponents and knock them the **** out.

      Yep!! I agree 100% with Atlas, You have all this idiots that claimed Dirrell could have continued, Dirrell was the one that got hit on the floor with both his hands down, I dont care if Dirrell faked it even if he did am glad he did.

      And for AA and his camp to come out and say Dirrell faked it shows a truly lack of class on their part.

        Atlas broke it down perfectly.

          Then I guess anybody who has never been taught how to punch can nearly kill people the way Abraham has.

            Teddy Atlas' word should be taken with a grain of salt. For someone who has been wrong SO often on a wide range of topics, you figure a reasonably educated individual would not take this guy too serious

              There's no getting around that his punching technique is God awful. However, he get's by with it because he's got so much natural power and he's explosive. We just saw how a real boxer can exploit that wide, looping ****. I think if he fights Ward he'll get completely dominated because in addition he has ZERO inside fighting game.

                The great thing about AA is he has intense power and a good defence but apart from that he was expose and made to look one-dimensional, He couldnt cut off the ring against Dirrell, He couldnt get out of his pee-ka-boo defence whenever Dirrell was on the attack, I have never seen him look so ordinary before in a fight...while analysing the fight i find myself asking "Has AA ever fought a boxer/mover before"..

                  If AA's technique is so bad, then I don't think he should learn your so called great technique because he might accidentally kill someone.

                    I think Dirrell was partly the explanation for Abraham's one-dimensional appearance in the fight too, much like Ward made Kessler look somewhat one-dimensional. It was a very good performances from Dirrell imo, he improved his all round technique and showed he could stick to a game plan.

                      Atlas was right on the money.

                      The full interview was great BTW.
