    forrest is not a huge puncher. AA can take his punches and won't hinder his offense

    I think a late stoppage win for Abraham

    I love Forrest, but at this stage in his career, he will not be facing a Sergio Mora. Forrest's only hope is that AA comes in unmotivated and damaged from making 160. Imo Forrest has zero chance to beat AA.

    AA has never fought anyone with the defensive skills of Forrest.I do not see Forrest getting hit by those wild punches.

    Forrest will use his jab and outwork AA to a clear UD in this fight.

    In my book Forrest is the favourite. Forrest is the superior boxer.

    AA does not fight for 3 minutes of the round and Forrest will exploit that. AA only has a shot by KO, but I think Forrest is too defensively skilled to get caught. So, Forrest by decision.

    If he couldn't hurt Mayorga, and was stopped by Mayorga, what makes you think an old Forrest beats a prime AA??? Because you think AA has never fought someone with the defensive skills of Forrest???

    First of all Forrest lost a MD and not by KO against Mora.He lost because he was unmotivated and proved that by schooling Mora in the rematch.

    Forrest will win against AA. Forrest has the better jab and will make AA miss a lot.Forrest is just the better boxer so AA will be outboxed.
    AA has his power, there is only a small chance he might catch Forrest wih a big one.

    This fight's not as dumb as Pavlik-Mora, but same league.
