Comments Thread For: Abraham Secures Tough Decision Win Over Shihepo

[shutupmeg]

Stieglitz is a better fighter than Abraham ever was, and thats not saying much.

Many close rounds but I thought Shihepo won the fight. I had it 116-112 Shihepo. AA looked slow tired and bored. It looked like he had lost his killer instinct and when he can't hurt his opponent he's clueless.

168 is not his best weight class though. He was a beast at 160 cause he was physically stronger than most of his opponents but that's not the case in the SMW division that's why he struggles and he's also at the end of his career.

I agree, except it's hard to tell if he was really a beast at MW since he didn't have any big wins. But for sure he was better, and his punch carried more weight there, some scary KOs

This guy was so overrated at 168... he has never recorded a significant win at the weight and always struggled against average opposition. The truth is he is too much a a midgit for the super middleweight division, he should have stayed at 160. He also fights in a very wild orangutan-like style, the guy just doesn't know how to box. In about a dozen 168 fights he's only had 3 or 4 knockouts and all of them were either against journeymen or shot middleweights moving up. I don't see what anyone ever saw in him.

Wasn't he hospitalized after he fainted trying to make 160 or something like that?

He's not just a bit shorter than Tyson, who was a great heavyweight? Also, what is that guy's height that just beat Eddie Chambers at cruiserweight? Why be such an idiot about it?

This was said already.
But this is Sauerland's Germany.

It hasn't been said enough. Some people still think beating Abraham at 168 is a big win...

These days 5'9 is very short for a super middleweight and are you trying to compare Abraham w/Tyson?! You're a ******...
Eddie Chambers is done and should stay away from cruiserweight or rather boxing in general.

Most fighters who are short and stout are at a natural disadvantage let alone when they have little to no boxing skills as is the case w/Abraham.

Were those judges smoking Chavez Jr's weed?

Its not his size that makes it hard for him at super middle its his style his skills and his activity. doesn't fair well with taller guys. now his style would be fine if his activity was much higher. and his activity wouldn't have to be so high if he could change his style. and if he had the skills to do so he be able to switch up when he need to.
