Right untill the knockout, Elcock looked a lot more impressive than Abraham. He packs a big punch though. But he's gonna have to up his workrate if he wants to beat world class boxers.
That ****er was old cold on his feet, any ref that would let that continue is a cruel man. People are just going to ***** about every ****ing thing that happens in Germany. The "American ref" stops a fight from an obvious headbutt, it is not right. Abraham could of layed Elcocks out so bad , if the ref had not stepped in. He was totally out.
abraham was lazy/going through the motions tonight. worst i have seen him in a long time since before he became champ. he new what was in front of him , a nice stand up box/jab and move fighter with fast hands and a weak chin , yet boxed so conservativley within himself and so lethargically you have to wonder did he have trouble making weight. once he opened up in the 5th he had elcock hurt and nice precision punches put elcock on ***** street and ref did a good job stoppoing the fight while elcock was still standing. routine win for abraham but not very impressive bar 20 secs in the 5th. elcok did the best he could but he is a bit chinny and always going to be the case that when abraham decided not to box but to walk through him that would most preopab;ly be it. and it turned out it was.
I agree with that completely. I wasnt very impressed with Abraham before the stoppage. I believe I had Elcock up 1 point before the stoppage. Abraham needs to explode more often, a more consistent workrate would go a long way. I dont see how anyone can say that was a bad stoppage. Theres no doubt in my mind that Pavlik beats Abraham.
abraham would have a different strategy for pavlik. he won't stand there and let pavlik punch him for 4,5 rounds. i'd say pavlik ud 12 abraham, but he might get knocked down on the way.
nope i am pretty sure abraham would walk through and punch through sturms guard and get a ko. abraham has such heavy hands that sturms double arm guard will not save him and his whiskers are not the best. something like elcock fight would be my prediction.
No, Sturm is as china chinned as it gets, he would stay down from the first glancing blow Abraham lands. If it goes the distance, of course Abraham will lose with a non-existant workrate like that. But Pavlik is very open and Abraham hits significantly harder than Taylor. If Taylor can put Pavlik down, Abraham can put him to sleep without any doubt.
