Abe is an ugly dude....... No doubt......... He looks kinda' dorky to be a good fighter.... YET! He is a good fighter who owns good strength and power......... thumbsup MR.BILL
you might like to watch 11 again. Also check out rounds 10,11,12 of Froch Dirrell, where Dirrell had his best rounds of the fight. Dirrell in my opinion would have easily avoided AA for 4 minutes and won a unanimous decision. A hail-mary KO can never be ruled out, but I'm inclined to believe a KO was unlikely.
Reid had a ****ed up eyeball and he never was a wicked puncher... His boxing skills were pretty good, but Reid lacked that certain special element as a fighter...... Vargas was a real warrior with good power and desire, but he had weak legs and a weak jawbone... Plus, Vargas has a weight disorder..... These are bad things to own if you wanna be champ of the world for a long time... MR.BILL:hat
Abraham is for sure a harder pucher than Froch. Make no mistake: Dirrell was only hit flush once - the time he slipped and AA threw that stupid hook. If Abe would've been able to hit Dirrell like he did with Taylor or Miranda, Dirrell wouldn't have lasted for 11 rounds. It was Dirrels skill that Abraham couldn't find him and did not land any effective punch up to the 10th round - the only round which AA clearly won. Now, Froch doesn't have the skill-set of Dirrell and he's not as fast on his feet. His punches are maybe harder than Dirrel's, but also slower. Last but not least his defense is his sturdy chin. Make your math....
Taylor has a style that almost completly revolves around his incredible hand speed and reflexes..... This is great until your reflexes start fading, taylor will never come back.....
You're just ahead of me!! I have three out of four right. The only one I have wrong so far is Taylor v AA
Folks, I don't know who'll win the tourny..... I really don't care...... NONE of the contestants are guys that I follow closely......... BUT! I do like this Art Abe dude from Armenia.... That's all I'm saying........ If Abe goes all the way, well, great.... If he loses or drops out, well, that's fine as well..... MR.BILL
Money and fame ruined him early on.......... Taylor got too comfortable........ Not even Manny Steward could help Taylor......... Taylor best secure his "monies" right now, or he'll be another aging ex-champ selling his big-ass house and fancy car by the time he's age 35...... Rich fighters going broke is now the normal routine these days...... atsch MR.BILL Note: Hearns is now in a tax jam and is in need of bread....... I'll bet he was paid to be at the Joe Louis Arena for promotional reasons...... He needs money..... I can't see Hearns BUYING a ticket right now....... Not when the state wants to take his house away here in April......... A damn shame too......... I thought Hearns looked weathered at ringside...... His smile looked phony or forced...... He has got to be bummed right now........ atsch MR.BILL
:huh:huh What do you mean??? Armenia is definetly a country... maybe you are confusing it with its neighbor georgia???
Fighters always state that the guy who hit hardest was never the one who knocked them out. Like here... also Rahman said sanders hti hardest yet Lennox pole axed him lol
