Does Abraham have enough power he can potentially KO anyone in the Super Six?

    Actually is was impressive. Jermain was not fighting tired or anything. He was fighting well, and he just got drilled by one punch.

    Pavlik wore him down and got him on the ropes. That was multiple punches. Against Froch he was just out of gas.

    Yes he does but he also has some serious problems with his style that a very good fighter can exploit. I think Kessler will be the one to do it.

    I give it a toss up between Kessler or Abraham
    as being the biggest punchers. Abraham can rock ANYONE in the tourny. No question about that. KO is a different story.
    Kessler has to get past Ward first
    but after watching Abraham Vs Taylor I would put money on Kessler. I will make a call that Kessler is the first person to at least floor Abraham and I bet it will be by an uppercut. Abraham can not fight in close. Kessler's best against JC was in close.

    Abraham can KO anyone. Of course he can - if he can find them.

    He has the power, but not the skill. Any fighter smart enough to step over and throw a right hand would have knocked AA out Saturday night.

    Jeff -- please -- Jermain looked like **** from the first minute of the first round. By round 3 it was extremely obvious that JT has absolutely nothing left.

    Good point about Kessler and uppercuts. That is one punch that could get through King Arthur's guard. Remember those uppercuts Kessler used on Calzaghe? How the hell did he take those? LOL One of my favorite fights. Kessler fought like an animal until the end, even in defeat. Calzaghe showed everything. Was great!

    Don't agree at all. He simply could not hit Abraham like he did Froch and Pavlik.

    All he had to do is step over and throw a right hand, but he wasn't even aware the opportunity was there.

    JT won about the same number of rouunds as #43 ranked LuJaun Simon, but Simon made the distance. Let that sink in for a minute Jeff.

    Kessler hits really hard himself, but he tends to really break down guys more so than King Arthur cause he uses his jab a lot, then explodes later on. I saw the fight he had, it was before the last one, was it Haussler? I remember he mostly jabbed for 3 rounds, and turned the guys face into a bloody pulp w/ it, then exploded and starched him at the end of the round. His jab is about as good as Wladimir's I think.

    Kessler is an excellent fighter. I expect him to win tournament, but Abraham surprised me with his easy win over Taylor. Like Taylor or not, he can fight. Abraham just make it look easy. Abraham's power surprised me a lot, he can punch extremely hard, very strong.

    He wons more round on my card than most people's but it's not that simple. You have to worry too much about what Abraham will fire back because you might get that punch in, but he won't just sit there and let it happen over and over. I saw how he studies his opponents w/ his eyes very carefully in the early rounds, and sees things coming well.

    He is not very fluid though. It will hurt him against someone who uses more lateral movement. That is true, so yes to an extent I agree I suppose. Like I said, he does not too one thing great, but everything solidly.

    I dont know... which is why i am completely excited for AA vs Froch.

    That will be two guys whos only intent is to rough you up, there will be no backing up, no retreating, just slugging it out. Fuuuuuuck i can not WAIT.

    i love this tourny.....
