Abraham is a SLUGGER: Yet he isn't 1 dimensional?

Please do so again, someone finds it too hard to understand here. :nut

 

Abraham IS one dimensional....but he is NOT a prototypical slugger, imo.

Abraham employs excellent footwork to cut off the ring, and has sharp, crisp, accurate punches.

He is an excellent pressure fighter, in the mold of Dariusz Michalczewski (but several classes below DM).

Miranda is a prototypcial slugger, Abraham is not, and the difference in the ring was apparent.

However, he is one dimensional. He cannot stick and move properly on the backfoot (and no, what wwe saw in the Miranda 1 fight does not qualify as sticking and moving), he doesn't fight with a good plan B, etc.

Like Pacman, this one dimension of his is pretty damn deep.

 

Toss-up? Maybe. Their styles are SO different that it's hard to make good comparisons about some things.

 

BTW, for the second time, how many Abraham fights have you seen?

 

Excellent post. On top of what you said, Abraham is very hard to hit clean... he is extremely adept at keeping his hands up. The way he fights throws his opponents' rythem off.... you can't predict when he's gonna counter, and when he does, he'll take your head off if it lands.

 

So as I suspected.

You've seen ONE of his fights.

(Maybe even some Youtube of his first Miranda fight ? Maybe not.)

And based on that limited sample, you're qualified to lecture on his boxing abilities ?


Scar was wrong.
You're not a dumbass.
You've got a long way to climb before you can claim reach dumbass ststus.

 

exacly, to call him one dimensional just prove how some posters in here clearly dont know this sport.

 

I will not claim to be the expert on Abraham, I have not seen enough of him really but based on this last fight he doesnt seem to be a boxing virtuoso by any stretch, Does not slip and then counter he is either on Defense the shell, or on offense throwing Hayemakers guy moves in straight powerful lines. He throws powewrful blows 2, 3 in a row he is a slugger. Shell you get your turn then I get mine.

But skills in general are eroding anyway, Im amazaed at how many fighters just fight flatfooted no one is up on their toes dancing in and out. Slipping while coming in and making the other guy pay, no subtleties. Thats why many guys are enjoying great success while mastering a few skills power or workrate seem to carry the day.

 

Okay that ends the discussion right there, time for the rest to take care of you.
