Abraham looked worse IMO! And Ward is way better than Dirrell IMO! When i review Ward vs Kessler and Dirrell vs Abraham, I now think that Kessler actually didnt looked that bad afterall.. IMO Ward was under more preassure than Dirrell in the fights.. So maybe Kessler aint in a bad shape but just lost to a way better boxer.. I noticed the first couple of round that Kessler chased Ward arround in the ring.. Ward is better than Dirrell... I dont know why but all of this really makes me belive that Kessler will beat Froch.
What are you talking about?? Abraham was actually getting some success now and then, and towards the end. Kessler never laid a glove on Ward and was totally taken apart.
Kessler looked far worse, although that may have something to do with the fact that Ward is a better fighter than Dirrell imo.
You gotta keep practicin' once you learned it! :deal Kessler by far. Abraham looked to have major troubles vs. a disciplined Dirrell anyway and almost everyone agreed that the 2nd half would be Abraham's time. AA was 7 rounds to 3 behind on the cards after 10, knocked down Dirrell, stamina advantage started to overtake and it seemed like a jab helped Dirrell's slip to another possible knockdown if Arthur didn't pull that ****. The way it looked, Abraham was on a strong finish, regardless whether he would've caught Dirrell, it was looking to be something like a 8-4 on the cards after 12. Kessler didn't even have a clue once Ward stepped inside.
I mean both of them aren't really good boxers so its hard to tell. I would say Abraham bc Kessler was fighting the guy with the most skills in the tournament. Abraham's footwork and strategy was sad. They both got exposed big time but Abraham looked worse, funny thing is that Abraham would and will beat all the other Euro's in the tournament. Ward vs Dirrell is gonna be a fun fight to watch.
Abraham looked the same he always does. Starting slow coming back in the ladder rounds.. just a shame he couldnt controle his moments in 11th. It's a big possibility that he might have caught Dirrell anyhow
Youve got euros on the brain, a couple of wins by americans over "euros" and this and other forums go crazy, doesnt really say much for americans imo, but im sure when an american next loses there will be retaliation by the "euros", even though ill bet a lot of "euros" dont care for germans much if at all and i doubt would be rooting for them
Hilarious how so many are jumping on the Dirrell bandwagon now like they just knew he existed, only a while ago he was worthless, set to be KO'd cold and I haven't seen enough people even remind anyone how the Froch match was yet another farce in England.
so people cant become fans of a boxer that recently put on a great show? ok i'll stick to hating him.
Kessler looked worse for sure. He was taken apart and outclassed. We all knew exactly what would happen with Abraham V Dirrell. Abraham lost all the early rounds but was coming on strong and a KO was a possiblity. Kessler was never going to touch Ward.
I'm happy to quote myself..... Prior to the Froch farce ? After the Froch farce ? Prior to the AA farce After the AA farce :good
Abraham looked like he still had a puncher's chance to win. In a 15 round fight, he most likely would have won by KO. Kessler looked like he couldn't beat Ward in 12, 15 or any number of rounds.
