Abraham: "I will have to cook down to MW. I'm too small for SMW"

Damn, the interviewer has some balls anyway - that's one of the harshest questions I've ever heard someone ask a fighter!

Last I heard, Abraham said he was going to fight Ward before making the move back to 160. I hope he does, that would at least show some integrity.

It'll be interesting to see if he can make 160 safely, by all accounts he was really struggling in his last few fights.

 

Exactly. Good fighters are expected to overcome their handicaps, and find other ways to excel.

 

This loss will really hurt him mentally. Cos he was not able to get off anything in the ring that night. All of his offense was neautralized at every opportunity. It must have been so frustrating and heart breaking. He ate a jab everytime he tried to open up. His entire game was made to look second rate. Very hard to come back from such a loss.

This will be a test of his mental resolve and how he bounces back. I mean he is alread doutbing himself by saying he is too small for smw, knowing full well he needs to kill himself to make middleweight.

It's not so much he's too small, it's his style, it's not effective against the bigger guys. If he had head movement and worked his way inside he could then have a great chance to let his hands go but his head is static along with everything else. Perhaps a Tyson style peek a boo would have worked better, keep moving the head and upper body, getting inside and letting go with hooks and upper cuts. The style he has not is all wrong for him, being the shorter man, he needs to move the head or else he'll eat jabs all night long.

 

Wegner said Arthur is "without a trace of honor" and that he has too much distractions in his life, and that he lost his hunger.
AA needs to watch tapes of tim bradley 24/7

 

He did look tiny in there next to Froch, so maybe he has a point. His style just isn't effective to anyone with height and reach.

 

`Are you a coward or did you just lose your motivation for boxing?`
Who the hell could just easy and calm answer a question like that from a guy who push pencils all day! If Abraham had knocked his head off instead, i wouldn`t be suprised!

 

He will KO Ward in the 1st round, do the same in the rematch vs Froch, then he will KO Forchs gf, throw the belts in the trashcan, move down to middleweight, kill Martinez and retire as ATG and no.1 p4p as pacman got KOed twice by Mosley and Mayweather retired.

AMIRITE!?

 

That's Arthur Abraham. No bull**** or trash. "I didn't find a way to beat Froch" - that's what happened and that what he said.

Remember how Froch acted after he got beat by Kessler? I'm gonna back Froch if he reaches the final, but here's the difference in personality.

 

Wegner really said that?

 

If Bika wasn't able to shake Ward off him, Abraham won't be able neither.

 

I never really understood Wegners popularity in Germany. He doesn't seem like a very good trainer at all.:think

 

Good point. Round 1+2+3 of Bika/Ward was gold to watch though. Bika really turned Ward's own game against him... Never seen a fight with that many headbutts and that much crazy wrestling.

Good fight from Bika and Ward though.

 

But...he was Ottke's trainer! :?

 

From the little German that I could understand, he was really tearing Abraham a new ******* between the rounds. So it isnt that hard to imagine him giving him some more crap after the fight too.
