After 10 title defenses Abraham still hasn't tighten up on his skills. He's still wild with his punches and that peak-a-boo style isn't going to work against another world class opponent.
yea, if he loses against pavlik he's nothing more than overhyped euro trash. pavlik, on the other hand, will get atg status for beating this overrated european.
I'd be more interested in details. How did he break a rib a few days before a fight? Training should have been winding down. Could it have been broken in the fight?
It wasn't broken as the initial poster says, it was a hairline-fracture. He suffered it at the last day of sparring what should had been June 13...
Well, that's what I wrote. Besides, technically speaking, a hairline fracture is still a fracture which means the bone is broken.
I'd bet the house that you were thinking it has something to do with "hair" and now not having the guts to admit it. Therefore the question if I knew what a "hairline" is. No, it has nothing to do with hair. Fact is a "hairline fracture" is a (partial) fracture of the bone, meaning the bone is broken. period. fracture = fraktura = break But I won't argue further on this. :nut
