AA clearly exposed! Abraham looks for 1 punch! He has no boxing skill what-so-ever!!!

    It looked like a usual Abraham fight with Abraham facing stiffer opposition, and if he would've caught Dirrell late he would've won a legitimate fight, it never came to that.

    And Abraham is definitely not "exposed", but if all you want to think so, you'll be setting yourselves up for a major fail when Abraham reaches the semifinals, possibly final and perhaps even wins this thing.

    But if he only beat someone who 'has no boxing skill whatsoever' then obviously that's less of a credible win than if he beat someone good.

    I'm one of the people who predicted Abraham to win (though I said a number of times Dirrell could win if he could significantly improve on previous performances), yet I've given Dirrell more credit for the win today than you have. Weird.

    Of course you're not the only one to fall into this trap. So many 'boxing fans' think that a fight must end with one fighter being 'exposed'. It's a fairly common opinion which, of course, is why we see fighters these days so often keen to pad an undefeated record and not to take a chance. Dirrell and Abraham have both been willing to do that in the past few months. Both came up short, but that doesn't make them 'exposed'. We have already seen Dirrell learn the lessons of his loss and improve substantially for it.

    So are you suggesting that AA will win the Tournament ?

    He's still very much in the run to win it, yes.

    Anyone with his chin, his power and his corner can win against his opposition, the hardest task will be a rematch with Dirrell, Ward and Kessler as they're really good boxers.

    I will never count him out.

    Thats fair comment,but i've never been impressed by AA,and i don't believe he's strong enough at SMW.Dirrell was in total control even in the later rounds and at times looked as if he was trying to draw AA's big shots so he could counter him with his own heavy shots.
    I think Froch may be the only fighter who AA may have some success against,but i think Frochs strength will surprise him,and Dirrell never looked concerned about engaging AA whereas against Froch he was reluctant to.
    We will see.
