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

    I expect Abraham to beat Froch.

    Yeah, he is always dangerous with that kind of power, although some guys would outbox him. Kessler is still my favorite to win. You may not think much of Dirrell, but his feet will give Arthur some troubles if he doesn't get knocked out that is!

    All Jermain did was jab AA's gloves for 12 rounds. All his "power" punches were straight, perfect for AA's basic defense. Taylor is done.

    Froch has to fight Kessler next. Froch will probably get knocked out by both though. He's an easy target. If Dirrell would have sit down on his punches earlier, he would have probably knocked out Froch.

    Well, Winky Wright uses the same guard. He drawed with Jermain. Winky didn't lose with that guard for about 8 years.

    I have it a split between Abraham and Kessler
    as the hardest punchers in the tourny. he might even be the hardest.
    he definitely has the power to rock anyone. But KO them is another story.

    If Kessler leaves up to his pedigree
    and wins against Ward. I think Kessler will be the first to put AA to the canvas though I dont think he will KO him. I will go even further and say it will be with an uppercut.

    All any of the fighters
    have to do is stay face to face with him. So that means Froch and Dirrel will probably losse to him. Ward ? I think Ward is a bit more experienced now that Dirrel so hopefully he will adapt and do it.

    I disagree. Abraham would cover up allowing Froch to really unload on him. To Froch, Abraham's style is like that of a hurt fighter, not throwing back, covering up and getting hit. If Froch can watch out for the 15 seconds that Abraham decides to fight he should have it all his own way.

    I like AA but I think his style is probably the most one-dimensional of everyone in the Super Six. When it works everyone thinks he's just pulled some kind of modern-day rope-a-dope - when it doesn't he just looks like a punching bag.

    That was a different version of Jermain plus Winky doesn't have power so he had less respect for him. He was too gunshy in this fight. I mean AA literally stood there guard up and Jermain just jabbed his gloves. A range finding jab with no power, no hooks or anything to follow it up, too gunshy and little variety in punches. Abraham could have taken him out early, but I know he fights like this by choice.

    Who's he fighting next? I don't think Jermain proves too much. I don't want to sound like I don't want to give AA credit, but Taylor has been KO'd twice in two years and he's coming off one of those KO's. He's looked unimpressive vs Ouma and Spinks as well.

    I find AA a little boring but I won't miss his fights because it's fun to see who can solve him.

    I think he'd takes Froch's head off honestly.

    Froch has to fight Kessler next though, and I think Kessler will knock him out!

    Abraham is deceiving to the eye, and now I think maybe it's seemed that way to me because he is not fluid at all, but effective.

    obvious if AA lands a corker on the chin early he has more power and if late fatigue has you in a state which probably means you dont survive either......Froch vs AA should be a Barn burner

    Abraham KO's Froch. Froch's too slow, holds his hands low as if he wasn't. AA can end this fight very very early.

    If Kessler is to hurt Abraham or put him down, I would also bank on the uppercut. I find it funny some people think Kessler only throws a one-two!:lol:
    His uppercuts are vicious! Calzaghe would not have survived them if he didn't have an iron jaw!

    Abraham fights Dirrell next. Froch fights Kessler next.

    Kessler has titanium in his hands, and Abraham has titanium in his jaw, literally!
