    I heard he tried for it on a Guinness Records show and came up just shy.

    Thanks for the translation and interview Finn!:good Very interesting about his punching power, wonder how many fighters have actually measured there punching power and what type of machine it is.

    Very interesting read! King Arthur is one of my favorite fighters of today! When he gets into that defensive shell of his, he reminds me of how Jake Lamotta would play possum, making his opponent think he was gassed out, then unload with a series of devastating blows.

    Abraham is a scary mofo. Just chills in that shell for 8 rounds and then unleashes hell that could decapitate a statue whenever he wants. I'd be terrified of that guy in the ring.

    I'm waiting for the moment his coach Uli Wegner speaks to him in the corner saying that he has to KO his opponent to win the fight...

    Uli Wegner is smart enough to tell AA, that he should not force a KO.

    Interesting thing is, that Wegner was disappointed with AA about his schedule. In Focus online, a German newsmag, he mentioned that AA does too much "promotion" and not enough training. AA has been elected to "Boxer of the Year" in Germany, does interviews, visits charity galas, etc. This usually takes away the afternoon training session.

    So, Wegner is hoping AA does not undertrain for Dirrell. It may have something to do with re-scheduling the fight to March.

    Abraham will need to knock Dirrell out to get a split decision. The fix is in. Dirrell will run, hold, fall down on canvas, and complain for his points. All he has to do is be on his feet at the end of the fight, even if Abraham knocks him down in every round, it will not matter.

    one of the best Uli Wegner's quotes is after the first round again Elcock where AA hasn't thrown a single punch (or maybe 1 or 2) "slow down, it is a hell of a pace you set - you won't be able to carry it full 12 round!" :rofl

    recently, when Pianeta boxed the mammoth Ustinov who was slow as hell "watch out, he is quick!"...after a few rounds he lost his patience "for ffs, he is slower than Valuev!" :rofl

    you gotta love the guy

    Abraham's defense will make it very difficult for Ward to headbutt him.
