Arthur Abraham

Abraham has very little to offer the 168 division.

 

It's not for the European title it's just some WBO bauble.

I think they're trying to rebuild him after the Super 6, and he probably still sells tickets against this sort of opponent.

 

He's still very popular in Germany but he lost 3 times in the S6, they're just trying to build his confidence back up before he fights for a world title again.

 

cuz he aint got no skills thats why. dude can punch? dude can punch? man, lemme tell ya summin. dude might be able to punch, but can he box? man, that's as one dimensional a fighter as they come. skills win fights, an h aint got none. walkin forward all the time, not doin nothin else. how you gonna win fights if you can't do nothin else


maybe y'all didn't get the telegram
that arthur abraham
is lucky he aint no journeyman
andre dirrel ran
then pulled a scam
poor old arthur
needed to be sharper
but widout a boxin brain
his title he did not retain

 

He needs some confidence building wins under his belt.There is a chance he could end up looking bad against this guy though.

 

He looks enormous at SMW, I'm not sure they could ever get him back down to MW safely.

 

The Pole could win this if Arthur is as slow and ponderous as last time out..

 

Does the EBU hav any power at all? Cant they stop this WBO European nonsense?

 

I dont see why they dont just have him propping up K2 undercards.

 

Because he fights for Sauerland on a different TV channel.

 

abraham vs degale is a likely fight if they both get through their respective matchups

I think degale would beat him but i have to admit, i'm not sure james can take one from arthur

 

The blueprint to beat Arthur has been shown to us twice now, I think DeGale could follow it easy enough. Good fight for DeGale imo.

 

thing is, degale loves using that phily shell defence but it's too leaky. it's alright vs the paul smiths but i fear for his defence as he moves up in class. its an amazing thing he is trying to do really using that defence from both stances and blocking/slipping and countering punches on the outside and inside. but groves was landing frequently and cut james. the pole also wobbled him and hit him plenty. arthur (who carries his power late and to body and head) would certainly land one or two and the fight would get very interesting indeed.
