Arthur Abraham vs. Bernard Hopkins at 170

Hopkins wins easy at any weight.

 

What about Hopkins limited workrate? What about him gassing in late round? How will he score points on a turtle defence?

 

I was gonna post something like this, and even though I'm a big Hops fan, i think AA will take it at anytime after the 9th...AAbraham is a monster!

 

NEVER would happen.
Hopkins wouldn't fight Kessler at 175.

Though I would lean toward Hopkins by UD.
All he has to do is stay on the inside. (read my other post)

 

Hopkins by decission.

Bhops will not stand and trade. He'll make sure he gets enough rounds to win the fight and that's it.

Boring!

 

Hopkins would knock Abraham out. He'd step left and smash that side of AA's head, and then step right and smash the other side. The opportunities were there for JT all night long, but Jermain is so badly shot he wasn't even aware of it.

 

This would break compubox for lowest amount of punches thrown in a big fight under the HW limit.

 

thumbsup AGREED!

 

i voted for aa by decision , assuming the ludicrous assumption of a clean fight , or at least decent referee . if it is a typical hopkins fight , then it will be a decision with hopkins having the slightly better chance of receiving.

 

AA - he is special...

Not really...I think Hopkins would win.

Hopkins should be too big and too experienced, but I'm not completely sure that he could still win against Arthur. I've no doubt that AA has the power to hurt Bernhard. He may be able to execute the executioner.

Regarding the poll: I voted for Hopkins, because I've to stay realistic. I'll give AA a chance, but experience says that Hopkins should win the fight. However, I'm not sure...

 

hopkins would be schooling him round after round...then BOOM..AA would score the ko.

 

Hopkins easily. Abraham is going to live off this win over Taylor for a long time - but it is vastly over-rated in my opinion.

 

Intriging match up - unfortunatly we won't know. I think he would do better than Pavlik

 

I wonder how would abraham deal wit the extra pounds..
