    Elcock was a harmless fly annoying and molesting a lazy bull-nothing more.
    Elcock vs Abraham was a mismatch.Abraham is extremely lethargic and wayward at times-especially in the first few rounds of a fight.He didnt do anything at all for 5 rounds apart from one telling punch which made Elcock go down in round 2(?) of their encounter.As soon as Abraham decided to do a little bit for the 1.500.000$ fight purse the game was over for his totally overmatched opponent.
    His previous opponent Khoren Gevor had given Abraham hell in their outstandingly exicting and entertaining fight.This cant be said about Elcock.
    I bet my house that Abraham would have ended that fight in the very first round if he hadnt been in that lethargic mood once again.

    You said it exactly: Abraham didn't do anything.

    I mean, Elcock wasn't landing much flush, but at least he did something. He threw double jabs quite well, and even if they landed on AA's guards, he still gets more points for that than for coming forward and doing **** all.


    Seriously, was AA doing nothing for a few rounds to give the croud their money's worth? But i thought Elcock didn't look that bad... he moved pretty smooth, had some nice combo's..... just that jaw.

    Quite Possible. His trainer angrily told him between rounds four and five to pick it up already, and he just knocked him out the very next round.

    Anyone looks good against a fighter who does nothing at all inside a ring just standing there observing his opponent.
    Did you watch Gevor vs Abraham? Unlike Elcock who doesnt have much pop in his fists,and who was nothing more than a molesting fly for a few rounds Gevor took a high risk going for Abraham with blazing guns and sharpened steel.
    By the way Hamder vs Abraham was a bit similar to Elcock vs Abraham.Abraham seemed to be on drugs throughout the first few rounds with the Australian based Arab in their encounter.However,as soon as he woke up the tables turned and the game was soon over.
    Now and then the Armenian is quite lethargic in the ring-especially within the first few rounds of a fight.

    A slick,skilled,and fast mover with a telling punch can make him pay for his inactivity outpointing him and winning a point decision.
    Someone like Jermain Taylor could have his number.Styles make fights.I for my part think that Abraham would fare much better against Pavlik than against someone like Taylor.

    The DAMM problem is that you're forced to go for the KO when boxing in Germany and that means taking unnessesary chances. Elcock was the better boxer and could have won that fight by boxing on the safe side. Instead he engaged in a hard exchange and got hit badly. My take is that he felt some pressure to go for a KO ot TKO. That eventually cost him a nice scalp.:-(

    :lol:Your post carries off the price,mate!
    Once again:Abraham vs Elcock didnt take place in Germany,but in Switzerland.
    You are kidding ,arent you! Elcock the better boxer who could have won that fight,but didnt because he tried to knock Abraham out,eh!
    Elcock is a feather fisted fighter who crack an egg with his punches.To claim that he is the better boxer makes me smile as it is that ludicrous that I cant take it serious anyway.
    "Elcock felt some pressure to go for a ko or a tko":rofl

    Just like Miranda right?

    Hell Sherwin Davis and Allan Green both dropped Miranda and Abraham didnt.

    Okay! Who was ahead at the time of the KO? Give me an honest answer. What led to the KO? Give me an honest answer!

    Sorry mate! That's just too lame. Look at the organizer for christ sake!
    Secondly. You can't be from Europe. Austria-Germany-Switzerland hosting, with German promotor??? Wake up to reality. Elcock, with a few more brain cells, could have walked away victorious...deal with it!
    Elcock looked the better fighter IMO and many many others. Sorry dude.:hat
