Pavlik would probably win, he's too busy and his staminas better. But Pavliks defense is poor and Abraham is a better puncher than Taylor. We could see a devastating ko win for AA. He also has a winners mentality unlike Taylor. But you are right in saying that Pavlik is better than AA, I just think its far more competitive than you give it credit.
Ignore him he's being a *****. Your underating AA a little bit but a lot of your criticisims are valid.
Heart doenst win you fights, it gets you respect no doubt, but he lost the fight. If you would read the points i posted i never once mention that Abraham has no heart, i mention that Miranda was robbed due to the bad work of the referee and the judges, and mention that Abraham doesnt have great technical skill thus my conclusion is that Pavlik would beat him. So stupid post.
WTF...Miranda WON the first few rounds...lol Abraham got the 3rd ..You dont win a round fighting for 30 seconds of the last minute while the other guy is jabbing the **** out of you to the head and body LANDING. While you are in your ****** shell defense. Get the **** out of here.:rofl:roflnut
Abraham by no means in any way shape or form is a better puncher then JT. Or any other top tier middleweight. He is a horrible puncher and he does not own a jab throws counter haymakers..............Ingrate
Abraham should have been deducted at least one point for holding. I cant and will not blame any fighter for not wanting to fight in Germany. I have seen Sven Ottke lose clearly twice, Abraham lose clearly, and I thought Brian Minto beat Luan Krasniqi. Also, this fight to me just shows how easily a decent puncher can get through Abrahams defense and land. I just see no way, based on what ive seen, that Abraham could beat Pavlik.
The contreversy of this fight is so large, that to this day, when it is brought up a shitstorm ensues. I wonder about the people who thought abraham won. And also didnt think that whole fight was a farce. Ill admit I am a huge miranda fan, but he won that fight. The ref gave too many breaks to abraham which screwed the momentum out of edison. And the low blows were not low blows. In the end, and I have said this before about this fight, Edison was the one who went on to HBO to get a chance to fight for the 'undisputed' middleweight title that taylor had and which pavlik has now. Abraham is NOT a champ, and that belt is worthless in my eyes. And to the poster who said 'well it is a win no matter how you look at it.', No it is not a win. Any real boxing fan can see that. I can admit if my fighter loses (just like edison did against pavlik), but he did not lose that fight. And it is on youtube for the whole world to see. Expect Abraham to be protected for the rest of his career. Miranda ruined him, and his promoter is to blame for not letting the fight be stopped when his jaw was broken the first time.
Well they couldt stop it cause when the ref saw the scorecards he saw Miranda would win viw TKO, and to prevent that from happening he let it continue. The thing that bloggles my mind was when Miranda was bout to finish abraham and the ref kept jumping in to protect Abraham by asking if he was ok or not? Complete BS!
Miranda wasnt able to stop an severerly injured opponent who had broken his jaw(twice) and who was bleeding like a shot pig throughout most rounds of their encounter losing tons of bloods.Quite the opposite it was Abraham who seemed to be the one who was more likely to stop his foe.Miranda took some very good shots in round 9.I very much doubt that Miranda would have gone more than 1 or 2 rounds against Abraham if he had been the one whose jaw was broken and who was losing as much blood as pig whose throat was cut in a slaughterhouse. Besides Abraham had looked quite impressive against the rough Columbian up to round 4 when he broke his jaw. A healthy Abraham would have stopped Miranda somewhere between round 5 and 8 IMO. Miranda is tough,can take some good shots,and can bang,but he still wasnt able to beat an severely injured opponent.
i saw that fight and totally agree with you.. he has very little chance against Pavlik, AA should try Miranda again which i think he would lose.. AA is just another paperchamp
No way this overated abraham guy would cause any trouble for the Pavlik punching machine! KO within 4 rounds. No doubt!
dog, miranda is lucky he didnt get dq'd, what the hell are you talking about BAD JUDGING OR REFFING :huh :huh :huh
and in some cases, **** yeah HEART WINS YOU FIGHTS...i bet you psysically and mentally, abraham was beaten down after that jaw fracture....but his heart kept him in there..... and nobody is saying he's a kingpin yet, but c'mon....with ikeke,jantuah, and miranda under your belt, thats pretty ****en good for a BUM
Yeah he could of, but it would have also been a bad call. That head butt was nothing. I just re-watched Calzaghe/Bika, and every round there was a meaningful headbutt. Miranda once in the entire fight headbutted but it was a love tap and did not warrant a 2 point deduction. While i understand the deduction for the low blows. Two of those LBs were borderline to say the least.
