Kessler at any weight. Abraham should fight Pavlik at MW, not one pound plus would do any good to him. But those who picked Kessler by KO are crazy. Did you see Abraham-Miranda? The local hospital should've stopped that fight but Abraham just kept on going. I don't see anyone KO-ing him, maybe Pavlik, but I wouldn't bet on that either...
As fas as I can tell, they are both technically very sound. Not sure if there is a significant difference in power. I believe Kessler takes the UD on size and activity. Abraham was very lazy in the last fights i saw.
Be a pretty good fight. Abraham has the power to hurt Kessler, but he doesn't have the workrate or size to take him out. Both have good technique and good chins, although it appears that one would have to hit Abraham with a truck to knock him out. In the end, I like Kessler thanks to his size and activity advantages. However, Abraham keeps him honest and maybe even rocks him a few times.
Kessler has always been good against these 'power punchers' who doesn't do much or just puts average pressure on him - Abraham is one of those and would be completely outboxed. UD or late KO
I didnt vote because catchweights ****ing suck Why 165? would it be to difficult for an already large MW to gain 8 ****ing pounds in 3-4 months????? YESSSSSSS quite easily So quit imagining fights that wont mean ****...Thank You
Abrahams power punches are always dangerous. However, in terms of sheer boxing skills Kessler is ahead. Abraham would have to rely on the KO punch which leaves Kessler with tons of chances to take him apart. I see loads of problems for Abraham in dealing with Kesslers hand speed. How can this match happen????
No, I think he does have it, but it is to my eyes slower than what Kessler has to offer in the same department. I've seen Abrahams fights, and, as far as I can remember, they have been won on power, not on boxing skills. Correct me if I'm wrong.
