    Copying what I put on Brit forum

    That was a largely predictable affair wasn't it? Every time Jr uploads a video of him hitting the pads, someone comments "well the pads don't hit back". As it turns out, that was perfect practice for this fight...

    I still see an awful lot of flaws in Jr that haven't been corrected, but his style was perfect for someone like Abe. I think Abe was able to land his jab too easily and boy oh boy does he need to swing less wildly and try to throw a straight punch. Even at 37 and faded, Abraham is still a decent enough guy I guess and is certainly Jr's best win. His hand speed was still impressive though again technically flawed, he never really generating proper weight into his shots owing to his foot placement.

    All the same, got the job done without any real issues. Took a few digs off Abe without being shook either so that's a positive sign for him.

    This guy has a history of bias towards German and German based fighters and after reading this garbage we have more evidence of watching a fight with only eye. You make a point of mentioning unfair tactics with ducking below the belt and turning around but fail to mention anything about the worst infraction which was AA's passive defence. It is illegal to adopt a passive defence in boxing. Shell defence, not throwing punches, failing to present a target and making it almost impossible to be hit. That was more unfair than anything CE did. You gave him 4 rds but you be wrong. The correct score for this fight was 120-108.

    No I'm not British and the judges were from England USA and Germany. Steve Wiesfield was the neutral judge and did not give a rd to AA. I could tell you to go look the rule up re passive defence but you would do what you have done in the past and say you don't need to because you know the rule already. You are a knowall that knows nothing. Now log off and go to bed spotty.

    Dude you have to start looking things up and stop trusting in what you what you see and hear or what you think you see and hear. Marcus Mcdonald 118-110 is from England, Oliver Brien 118-110 is from Germany and Steve Wiesfield 120-110 is from USA. If the announcer says otherwise he is 100% wrong. English is spoken in more countries other than England. I am not going to ask Afolabi or Eastman about the passive defence rule. Just because you see other boxers getting away with it doesn't mean that it is right or not a rule. Look it up. Your lack of knowledge of the rules, of boxing in general and the inability to judge a fight is causing embarrassment to yourself. I realise English is not your 1st language so it is a little difficult to decode the other points you make in your posts so I will not get involved in any more ''going around in circles'' arguments with you about those.

    That fake fight was an easy prediction.................Abraham does not fight, he just hold his gloves in front of his face and follows his opponent around the ring, very inactive fighter. He should have retired long ago............

    Kind of like how you were spewing your garbage in the Lomachenko/Walters preview thread that was just bumped? LOL.

    I knew CEJ was the goods. And now onto the tournament where I think he shines and solidifies himself as an Elite talent imo.

    I don't see how beading a faded an ancient Abraham proves that you're the goods.... This was another cherry pick for Jr.

    Solid fighter? Yeah. But the goods? Certainly hasn't proved that.

    I think so.. I got to give credit where it's due.. AA was still looked at as a fighter who was still good enough to beat CEJ by a lot of people on here, and CEJ dominated the fight... The tourney is going to prove my point.

    An old AA is tailor made to make Eubank look good. What on earth did you learn from that fight? He can beat up a staionary target? We already knew that.

    Eubank has so many glaring flaws its unbelievable.
