    War King Arthur!!!!

    KO 4...

    Fantastic counter puncher. Would love to see him and Pavlik, although he might have to dust of Raul Marquez first.

    I was expecting it to go longer but Abraham shows his mettle.

    Calls out Oscar and Kelly Pavlik in his interview. Says he loves America, thanks Showtime for his chance, says he wants to come back. Bring it on!

    Would have loved to see it live.

    Did get some good feedback about Abraham though, deals with whatever's thrown his way.

    Miranda up by 3 points, and 1 point (twice) on the cards...

    Of that I was unaware but not surprised.

    A good tactical boxer that can use the ring and posesses decent hand speed will give Abraham trouble although the trick is to avoid his powerful shots for the full 12 rounds.

    We all know he can take a shot and deal with adversity after his 1st fight with Miranda, (which I believe should have been stopped) but he does have his flaws.

    The score reflects Abrahams inactivity more than anything but I got the feeling Abraham orchestrated those first few rounds perfectly by reserving energy while Miranda wasted his.

    Hardly anything got through Abraham's peek a boo defence and when it did he just taunted Miranda.

    He and Pavlik would be an awesome match up.

    This should put a holt on the persistent Miranda fans who think he's some kind of superhero

    It´s the usual start for Abraham. Inspecting his opposition and in round 3-5 starting to rush.

    Chris Arreola looked pretty good too Marcus.
    He has huge power & is exciting to watch.

    That turtle shell defence will get hammered vs Pavlik. Pavlik keeps you on the end of his punches, hits through the target, and has a very good workrate.

    Abraham has a punchers chance, but that is it.

    I would be very surprised to see Abraham win this fight.
