      he has been underrated because he has always had severe holes in his boxing, offense and defense, which were exposed by Taylor and Dirrell

      he does things he shouldn't be doing, and against the right opponent, he pays for it
      He did some things in the AA fight too that could have cost him but AA is just not that good as I have been saying for a while.

      Still like you said he does what it takes to win even when he is at natural disadvantages and has a champions mentality which is something that can't be learned in the gym.

        I couldn't believe how many ppl just saw him as a limited brawler before this and though he would just willingly walking into AA's power shots.
        I would pretty much never pick Abraham as a decision winner at 168. I felt Froch was the better boxer, but just didn't think he would do it that way tonight. I was a bit surprised. I always knew that boxing would get him the win, but I just didn't think he could do it all the way. I felt he would want to get into a war at some point and that would make it an Abraham fight. Credit to him for being smart and disciplined enough to box all the way. I also thought Abraham didn't show the heart of a champion by taking risks in the 2nd half of the fight. He was simply too cautious to lay it all on the line imo. In the beginning of the 12th round he did it, but it was too late by then.

        I had bet on an Abraham KO because I thought it would be a different kind of match. Since it was a boxing match, that made the chances of me winning the bet very less (1 punch ending the fight from Abraham).
