    I agree with the argument that Abraham doesn't trade.

    I've never seen him swap punches. Which is why he was so easy for Froch to figure him out, a guy who despite his apparent slowness is always in position to punch.

      Abraham. Big fan of Abraham, think he will lose on points though, wide UD.

          Now proceed to explain how that makes Abraham not a warrior.

          If you walk through fire and you don't quit when you're up against it, you're entitled to be called a warrior. Abraham's done that more than once.

            Abe is a warrior, I'm not disagreeing with that.

            But he has no counter-punching ability which is more down to timing.

            Froch vs Abe reminded me of Wlad vs Rahman. Rahman just wasn't capable of counter-punching or even throwing with Wlad.

            Also rooting for Abraham.

              Going for Ward. It would disappointing to have one of boxing's brightest up-n-coming stars exposed by the likes of Abraham. I'm fairly certain Ward will win it, but he likes getting up close 'n' personal so there might be one or two scary moments when Abraham is given the chance to hammer in a few of those hooks of his.

                  The word warrior is not used to describe punching bags. Simply not quitting has nothing to do with anything. But you're just a moron so you wouldn't understand.

                  Again against Ward, same thing. From round 4 onwards, he was a punching bag.

                      If I was trying to scare you, I wouldn't comment on your mutant-like personal appearance.

                      It has a TON to do with it. You're a clueless ****** with a cone-shaped skull who never put on a glove in his life, so you wouldn't understand.

                      Abraham becomes a "punching bag" because he's limited by the style he was conditioned to fight in and doesn't have the tools or strategy to break down certain types of fighter and fight-plan at this level, at this weight-class.

                      Doesn't make him any less of a warrior.

                      You're an idiot, period.
