    This isn't the first time that AA has taken 2 1/2 mins off each round.

    The guy just doesn't want to work for 3 mins a round.

    Stamina or lack of killer instinct, dunno. He has impressive tools, just chooses not to use them all.

    If you watch the fight, you have a higher chance of describing accurately what you think happened than if you don't...:yep

    I have no complaints about the timing of the stoppage, it was perfect.

    Elcock was kind of standing there in some kind of suspended state with his arms dangling down. I don't see what the problem was.

    After the fight, Abraham was asked why he was "lethargic and passive"...he admitted he was and said that it was nothing to do with his strategy as much as it had with what his opponent was forcing him to do...(I wasn't convinced...)...but then he said he used this time to figure his opponent out, finding his weaknesses, in order to be able to take advantage...(he sure did!):D

    Thats about the most biased post I've heard for some time. Elcock ran and circled more than Virgil Hill's las fight. When Elcock fought or stopped running he got pounded.

    I think Abraham looked boring tonight cause he's practicing Winky's style.

    It was also said during the broadcast that AA had problems making weight and had to loose about 13 lbs during the last week...

    If HBO is willing to show it, he will fight the winner of Pavlik/Taylor next year.

    How can he duck them? He didn't receive an offer lately - and don't tell me about Taylor's offer back in March - AA hadn' even recovered properly from the broken jaw and Taylor just wanted to fight an AA who isn't at a 100%. And also offering not more than the money he earned vs. Demers (about $650k).

    Btw, AA's purse for his fight vs. Elcock was about $1.5 million...

    Would be a hell of a fight, again. Abraham and his management said that he would only stay at 160 till the end of 2008 - if a unification vs. Pavlik can be made and won by AA, he would immediately step up. He just wants that undisputed championship, then move up...
