    AA is a bum. He's always been a bum. Even in his fights against other bums at MW he always got his ass handed to him for most of the fight.

      b) I just wanted to mention it.
      Actually,it took Abraham 16 total rounds to finally beat Miranda....and the first fight,Abraham was winning due to fouls (point deductions from Miranda),not skill.

        total agree. AA is the most dangerous for Ward style. But I think that Ward go to outbox AA with his jab and foot work

          Ward needs to prove himself on the road, and not be just another scared yank. does he even own a passport? ( i jest)

          SuperSix has shown the true mentality between the European and American mindset.

          Europeans are warriors and will commence battle anywhere even on neutral ground.
          Yanks will seek medical advice from Dr Shaw High before travelling.
          History has shown, Americans do not fair well on the road. UK and Europeans are warriors.

            Ward is going to win. I like both but Abraham is too short, too slow, his style does not fit his height. Like Mike Tyson and RJJ who were only 5' 11" but dominated any opponent in their prime, because they had the right style for their height and size. Abraham's style is more fit for Middleweight. At 168, I don't see Abraham hanging with the best. He can probably beat guys like Andrade, Miranda, and maybe Green since Green can't seem to win a big fight.

            Ward will UD Abraham in Oakland, Vegas, Germany, Mars, any where.

                  1) The Olympics?
                  2) Either he couldnt or he didnt feel the need to. Regardless of which, Abraham isnt Bika and he cant force Ward into a streetfight.

                    You forget that he dominated Kessler from the outside. I even thought he was going to fight all his Super 6 fights in the same way, but then he switched up to becoming more of an inside fighter. That's why he gets called versatile.

                    But then again he also dominated Mikkel on the inside too so I can see how you would overlook his brilliant outside fighting.

                      I don't think King Arthur has the tools to deal with a guy like Ward, Dirrell and Froch are both less versatile than Ward and were able to have their way.

                      Not a good sign.
