Comments Thread For: Photos: Abraham, Murray Face To Face at Final Presser

Abraham will defend his title easier than most of you think

I would love to see Murray beat him, but I suspect you're right.

Not sure how much Abraham has left though.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

We know that Murray was denied already.

And we know that Murray is an honest fighter, who will give it death.

And I also know that very few of Golovkins opponents actually deserved their title shot, so good for Murray I say.

If the choice is Murray or Stieglitz V, I will take Murray.

I don't think Stieglitz V was ever an option but of course anything would be better than that.

Murray has literally done nothing at 168 to deserve a title shot though. He got battered by Golovkin and then fought 3 bums.

Pacquiao did it, Golovkin did it, many others have done it.

I agree with you, but hardly worth a lifetime ban, right ?

Yea - not worth a lifetime ban in and of itself, but pretty nasty. I thought Abraham's cheap-shot on Dirrell it was different from GGG's cheap shot of Lemieux because Abraham was losing his fight and did it out of frustration. It looked like GGG did it out of exuberance. GGG's was a closer call (though still a clear foul).

Abraham's was so damn flagrant and ugly...and caused real damage. Dirrel was never the same after that.

Abraham's solid, but Froch showed how limited he is technically in an extremely one sided fight. I haven't seen Murray fight yet at SM but he looks right at this weight, he's fresher and a better technician than Abraham. On neutral ground I'd put money on Murray, but the likelihood of a robbery in Germany is very, very high. I can't see Murray stopping Abraham either.

I cant see Abraham knocking Murray out, he is pretty durable and was the first man who took golovkin beyond 10 rounds.
So it will probably be a pretty close fight with murray having better workrate and abraham exploding from time to time trying to impress the judges.

AA will win NO DOUBT!
even with low work rate he will outbox Murray, he has limited skills but compared only to the best he fought everyone in SMW when he isn't too lazy and steps on the gas like vs (Paul smith II) he can do really good he has one of the best defenses, hes not slow, has very good timing and power he dosent use footwork a lot not to gas out i guess but he has decent footwork.
He sure wont beet Ward or Froch type of fighters but how many Wards and Froches are there in SMW? the only guy who will give AA problems is James Degale Froch is retierd, and Ward isn't SMW anymore.

I'm pulling for Abraham just because of that amazing turtle neck.

Location: Germany

You love sausage so much when you talk you spit sauerkraut.

Still it wont be controversial don't cry about the location

Yea true, I mean from the point of view that Murray can consider himself very unlucky following his previous trip to Germany, so if Abraham is not going to fight a name opponent, then I would rather him give Murray a shot than a lower-tier SMW.
