Maybe he's not being conditioned properly. He seems to worry about expanding to much energy.
That has happened twice now. You can't call it a bad night when you don't punch back or even try. He had counterpunching opportunities and he didn't even take them.
Of course the majority of mainland Euro boxing fans spent the weeks leading up to the fight talking about Abraham's awesome defense and his handspeed advantage over the slow as molasses Froch.
Or that Froch would just unskillfully with no defense at all willingly run into one of his wide looping powershots which can be seen coming from miles away.

Here's a thread I made long ago:

Just saying.
Abraham is a good fighter sure. But for real guys. All he has is a nice peek-a-boo defense and a big punch.
He's sloppy. Takes too many breaks. Has an egg for a body.
When he steps up to fight Pavlik, the conquerer of Jermain Taylor he will be outworked and outpointed for a pretty big decision loss.

He seems poorly conditioned. Like he's afraid of expanding too much energy.
I picked AA to win, I just had a feeling he would make it a war like against Miranda. I don't know what happened to him after that. He is not willing to take anymore risks.
