Arthur Abraham vs. Raul Marquez, including written previews,videos and more

I think it will be competitve in the first few rounds then Abraham will start to dominate and maybe even stop Marquez

 

Being weight drained won't affect Abraham half as much as it does other fighters. It affects mainly stamina and punch resistance. Abraham's chin is absolute granite so even if it takes a bit of his punch resistance away, it's still amazingly high. And his stamina, well, to put it bluntly, he's a lazy ****.

 

Abraham will win but I dont think he KO's him.

 

I think AA will KO him before half time.

 

No,his chin is titanium after the operations after the first Miranda fight

 

Marquez was destroyed by Jermaine Taylor. Does anyone remember that? Abraham wins by KO in the early/mid rounds

 

i agree 100%...marquez doesnt move much and his head i like a totum pole..,stuck..,

AA TKO4-6

 

Plus, Marquez isn't a big puncher, and not even a natural MW. He's a JMW. Doubtful he'll dent Abraham's chin. AA is just too strong. He'll bide his time and take Marquez out. And I say that as a Marquez fan. I just think the power difference will be too great. Plus, Marquez ain't exactly a spring chicken.

 

He should Ko a washed up Marquez, even if AA comes to the ring with an oxygen mask.

 

I'd be surprised. He might nick a few early on work-rate and sheer laziness on Abraham's part, but its calculated laziness and eventually he'll catch up with Marquez.

Look at the factors at play. Marquez is not a big middleweight, Abraham struggles to make the limit and has a thick frame.

Marquez relies on offense for defence, does not move his head an inch, and always throws punches which obviously makes him more open

Abraham loves fighters to come at him, rather than having to chase the fight himself

Marquez has been stopped by far lesser punchers, Taylor as far as I'm concerned is an average puncher, and guys like Campas and Vargas are obviously big punchers but not in middleweight terms.

Only one outcome.

 

And you said Floriano would KO McDonagh man,jeez that one was wrong:-( .Altough I agree on this too

 

I don't see this fight being competitve. I see Marquez getting stopped....ocelot is right, Marquez is not a big middleweight and I'm sorry but beating old ass Mckart and than Lorenzo does not make him elite in my eyes. He deserves a title shot and he's a nice guy, but I see this fight neding very badly for Marquez. Pavlik vs Abraham in 09!

 

Might be competitive or could be a blowout. Gotta admit I didn't expect Marquez to beat Lorenzo.

 

Yeah, nobody expected Marquez to rise to the occasion against Lorenzo. But Abraham's a whole other thing from Lorenzo, who crumbled once his offense was neutralized. I just don't see Abraham getting frustrated in that way. He'll sit back like a coiled snake behind his glove-defense and wait until he sees an opportunity to counter. And then the fight's over.
