Abraham-Farias, Stieglitz-Weber. SemiOFFICIAL RBR and discussion thread.

Abraham throws those sloppy combos maybe once every two rounds. His outpout is pathettttic.

He did enough to lead comfortably on points before knocking out Taylor though. Can he get back to that form, which is doubtful, he can still do damage.

As I already said I'd love to see another Dirrell fight. As for Pavlik well I think he is finished.

In other news, I do love listening to pre and post fight with Buncey and the gang lol, always entertaining.

Dirrell would probably "run away" with the fight. I thought Abraham's best chance to beat him was going to be in those later rounds when Dirrell was inexperienced and exhausted, but we didn't get to see that happen. Arthur is even slower now while Dirrell has been inactive so there might be some intrique to it. I see Dirrell as a heavy favorite though.

Speaking of rematches, I wonder if Jermain Taylor will come looking for revenge now that Abraham's stock has gone down a bit. Probably not.

I like Bunce.

What did he say about Abraham and Stieglitz?

Taylor should never share the ring with a puncher again. Nobody wants to see him unconcious again.

Abraham should move back to 160 permanently. He's simply not good enough to beat the top guys at 168.

If Taylor's comeback management had any sense, that would be the case. But a potential payday might convince them otherwise. I don't see Taylor's comeback going anywhere myself, not Abraham's either. Abraham unlike Taylor still has the punch though which can make the difference in any fight.

I like Bunce.

What did he say about Abraham and Stieglitz?

I do too, especially when it's late and he is firing on all cylinders

He said that's really the only way AA can get back into contention really, would be for Kess to pull out and for AA to step in against Stieg, and even then it's still a relatively even bout. He said Warren must be chomping at the bit to get guys like Grove and DeGaele in with AA.

[TheGreatA]

Stieglitz vs Abraham would be a decent contest at this point. Stieglitz would outwork him but he is hittable enough that Abraham has a chance to put him out. Kessler vs Abraham on the other hand wouldn't be much of a fight.

Well although Stieglitz is tough, he gets hit too much. I'd favor Abraham fairly big.

I can understand him saying that he'd like DeGale to fight Abraham.
