117-110 2x and 118-109 welcome to germany Those scores are a joke. A 2 to 4 points would have been appropriate
Let's be honest, AA did not look good. Simon is nothing. 43rd in the world at MW. Come on. If Pavlik would have looked this bad against the 43rd ranked fighter in the world, this board would be lit up with criticism. I like AA a lot, but after tonight, he may need to move up in weight. He looked sluggish.
Yeah, that wasn't too impressive, for sure looks like the weight draining affected AA and he cared more for his weight than the opponent in preparation for the fight. If he can't get Pavlik soon he should immediatly move up to SMW.
I'd like to see more of Simon. Tall, long hands, busy punching, fairly good defense and what a chin. Of course Abraham blocked almost all punches and was way more accurate, but couldn't get the KO and looked absolutely affected by weight drain.
AA said that he's not satisfied with his performance and that he will move up after he gets a chance to fight Pavlik. Oh and he's putting his gloves, trunks and robe on ebay to support kids who suffer from cancer.
True on all counts. Simon's got a granite chin and is very tough to have gutted out some of those body shots. Abraham looked absolutely huge in the ring and looked completely drained at the weighin, his cheeks were badly sunken in. Abraham needs to move up now.
