Arthur Abraham is going to be completely outclassed by Andre Ward.

[Evil Abed]

This fight is going to be more competive than most think.

If AA lands clean its all over.

even if ward smothers AA, he'll get hit by some heavy punches... he'll look beat up towards the end of the fight.

[Faerun]

Yeah, he probably will. AA is hardly top 10 in the SMW division. I rate guys like Andrade and Bika higher.

[BigStereotype]

Really sticking your neck out there, aren't you? Are you sure you want to make such a bold prediction where everybody can see it?

[rochemback]

Yeah, he probably will. AA is hardly top 10 in the SMW division. I rate guys like Andrade and Bika higher.

They would both give him lots of problems at super middleweight, that's for sure.

Picking against Arthur right now is hardly bold.

But I think AA is going to make this one interesting.

Too bad AA didn't get a few more rounds in against Bozic, he was looking a lot more aggressive than usual.

Froch is so big and rangy, AA had a tough time with him, but I think he'll be able to land on Ward.

And AA has the power to knock Ward out, unquestionably.

An upset is not out of the realm of possibility.

I think super middleweight is just not for Abraham. He definitely has size disadvantages there and to a smaller extent even power disadvantages, because I believe one big reason for not trying to go more after Froch was that he really felt his punches. I know he starved himself to make middleweight, but with all the reports about his poor discipline (even coming from his own coach, Uli Wegner), you'd have to wonder if it would still be his real weight class with the right mindset.
It is also clear that once he stepped up in class against Dirrell and Froch, that he is quite easy to irritate and frustrate. I think Andrade and Bika would be exactly the type of boxers who would give him problems.

As for Ward, I think he is too clever to get caught by something big against Abraham. People always think of his Bernard Hopkins-like roughhouse tactics against Kessler, but the guy can box too, very good in fact.

He did try to be more busy against Bozic in the early rounds, which is a must, because his old tactics ****** on the world-class level. But with all due respect to Bozic, that guy is nowhere near the class of Ward or Abraham.

[ИATAS]

Ward is by far the best fighter in the super six tournament and he beats everyone.

with that said I fully expect Ward vs Abraham to be a good and very competitive fight. STYLES MAKE FIGHTS. People time and time again forget this. Andre's style actually will help abraham out a bit and will give him plenty of oppuritinities to land some big shots.

It should be a fun, drama filled fight.

Abraham will be crying to the referee from round 1. That Abraham that fought Miranda the first time is gone. He is no longer invincible. He lost his heart. Ward will eat his children.
