AA raised hands in victory after KO punch and said it was KO in ring interview

You're insufferably biased against Abraham, Boo. You never give an inch of credit or benefit of the doubt on anything that I've seen. Several times I've watched him complain about a low blow, which I admit, he never doesn't complain when it happens, and several times I've thought he didn't get fouled until they show the replay. Every time but one it was either blatant or probable from my view. But, I'm not going to go on about it with you because it'd be like two brick walls with mouths on this one. So, I won't argue. But I will ask you this...On a scale of one to ten, how creamed were your jeans on Saturday night? It must have been like your birthday and Christmas all wrapped into one for you.

 

I just think that Abraham would make Ward pay for his dirty tactics. I think we've discussed it before, but I really beleive that if Ward started head butting, hitting on the break, et, against Abraham, Froch, or Pavlik, he'd pay some serious dues for his indiscretions. He might still win the fight, but he would find those three are very differrerent tempermentally than Kessler.

I've always thought that Abraham was over rated. After he stopped Miranda in their rematch it went completely off the charts. I watched 7 or 8 of Abraham's middleweight title defenses multiple times. He is a flat footed slugger. Nothing more. And for the most part his career has been a carefully orchestrated marketing gimmick.

 

**** -- **** -- ****-****!!! I don't have Showtime. I was watching Maidana/Cayo on HBO. I clicked over on ESPN to see if there was any news. I saw a little blurb on the scroller at the bottom of the screen. AND THEN my freaking computer ate its own brain, so I could not get online until this evening. It was like being tortured:yep

 

1. Abraham follows through his punches with elbows. THe punch that caught Taylor that first hurt him was an elbow.

2. He fakes low blows. Every time a punch is near the beltline he pulls the same stupid face. Andre Dirrell nearly made him pay for it.

Infact it was so convincing I thought Dirrell had hurt him with a body shot.

 

Congrats to your boy. I've been vindicated after over two years of trying to explain to people what Abraham is and is not, and getting nothing but **** for it! I might just have to sign up for the Andre Dirrell expess:yep

 

What bul**** talk! But AA knows in germany it would have gone this way.:fire

 

:good

Absolutly right. In germany it goes this way. Marco Huck is the same dirty fighter. In germany the ref. allow this. And i think in the fight against Taylor something was wrong with the gloves size. Look how big the gloves from Taylor where and how the one of AA.

 

As much as I disagree with you sometimes, I would never wish that kind of torture on you. Maidana/Cayo wasn't too bad a watch though, at least. And ESPN pisses me off with it's barely existent boxing coverage throughout the week, yet 29-hour-a-day Tiger Woods "I got away from my Buddhism and stopped respecting, um, my principles and...it's a private matter, which is why I'd like to apologize to the children who watch me golf, because of all the children who watch golf, and..." crap. Get that fool off the screen and show the knockouts I missed, ESPN.

 

Madaina is a beast and rapidly becoming one of my favorites:yep

And yes, we disagree at times, but you are one of those rare posters with whom a guy can have an honest debate.

 

Anyone who believed dirrell was hurt isnt living in the real world. He saw his chance and took the easy way out. Simple as that.

 

OK so if Dirrell wasn't really hurt from Abraham's punch while he was down.

What makes you think that had the fight continued or had Abraham never fouled Dirrell in the first place that Abraham would have scored a KO over a guy who couldn't possibly be hurt by a punch that landed on his chin while defenseless.

I mean even if Abraham landed Dirrell later on in the 11th or even the 12th Dirrell would have taken it and continued to box his ears off like he was for the entire fight. 1 1/2 rounds? Dirrell would have pulled the UD and Abraham and his fans would have very little to say.

Technically speaking, Abraham benefited greatly from his DQ. It gave him an excuse to take back to Germany and it gave his supporters a reason to overlook his tragic performance against an underdog in Dirrell. As far as I'm concerned it was Abraham took the easy way out.

 

Preach it brutha:deal

Excellent post:deal
