    A few possibilities:
    • Abraham walks through everything
    • Eubank Jr. damages his hands
    • Eubank Jr. gets hit harder than he's ever been hit

    So yes, despite being over-the-hill, Arthur Abraham is a live opponent.

      I do feel that Eubank would be susceptible to a good counter puncher, but he's probably too quick and mobile for this old version of Abraham

In recent years signs are that he's struggling to pull the trigger and he certainly ain't considered the massive hitter he was before his move to 168 but I'd say he's still a potential threat and Eubank won't be wanting to get careless.
        Pretty good synopsis right here.

        I see Eubank wailing away on gloves shoulders and forearms for the majority of 12 rounds and winning a 118-110 UD. I thinnk Abe may win a few rounds with Eubanks either stepping off the gas or Abe maybe catching him clean while he opens up and hurt him enough to take a round or two..

        But Abe has a good puncher's chance.

          I agree with all of this and think Abraham has a decent puncher's chance to win.

            The Abraham that fought threw a broken jaw versus Miranda, that version of him wins. This current version of him will lose by UD.

              Eubank has an awful style for a 2017 version Abraham.

              I'd say Abraham has a very slim chance but realistically Eubank will be too young and athletic for him at this point.

                  The question should be "does Eubanks have a chance against Abraham".

                  Abraham is terrible stylistically, but he has fought at the highest level.

                  Eubanks on the other hand...

                      Personally i think Abraham has been **** for years. Basically since he moved to SMW he has not been very good, and now he is old and badly faded.

                      Eubank isnt that good, but he throws a hell of a lot of punches and is extremely fit. I cant see Abraham getting out from behind his guard.

                      Eubank UD
