    BILD caught up with Abraham at Helsinki airport: "Are you a coward or did you just lose your motivation for boxing?"

    Abraham: No, of course not. I just didn't get into the fight, I didn't find a way to beat Froch.

    Abraham is seemingly embarassed: He is planning a comeback at the lighter middleweight. Abraham: "At middleweight I won't be the shortest in every fight".

    He killed himself getting down to middleweight, he's too big for middleweight. Jesus, Arthur. There's no 5'11 and under/164-pound division. Suck it the **** up, man.

    He said he'll honor his contract and fight Ward regardless of future plans. That's how real professionals do.

    Does that mean Ward gets another freepass at the semis?

    IMO Abraham/Ward is still an interesting match up. I still havent seen Ward dance circles around opponents.. He's been winning in infighting. And Abraham has only lost to people who stayed on the outside.

    really?? REALLY?? ward was beating kessler inside and out in that matchup. and how exactly would that increase abrahams chances?? the guy has no inside fighting skills AT ALL. he greatly depends on distance so he could get off on his power punches, nor does he throw in combinations. sorry pal, but abraham is a lamb to the slaughter in this matchup.

    Abraham needs time to accept the loss. Every good or great fighter loses. Also it's the super 6, anyone can win or lose.

    Yes but he's got the big punch and that always gives him a punchers chance. It's not much and in all probability he will get outboxed.

    Oh I too believe Ward will win this but come on.. The thing Ward does most is shoot a quick shoot and go into a clich where he'll use the angles on the inside to score. I dont think that will work on Abraham.. he's physically strong and SHOULD be able to shake Ward off him.. if not well then he's screwed as that's his only asset.

    Who would you rather see Ward in with mate? If not Kessler, Abraham, Dirrell or Bute.
