Hypothetical fight: Sergio Martinez v Arthur Abraham

youre an idiot.

i believe martinez should stick to jmw for a while, because even if he is slick, once he gets hit by abraham, itll be lights out for him. he can only either win by decision (which i doubt tbh) or get iced (which is very possible)

 

You don't particularly sound like you know what you're talking about though.

Do elaborate more about how Martinez, who started at welterweight and comfortably makes light middleweight is going to step up two weight classes and 'smash' Abraham?

 

I beleive that going from his fight with PW he would struggle to take Abraham's power !!!!!!!

 

Abraham by stoppage

 

Williams is tall but not a phyically strong tank like Abraham. Williams' best assets are workrate and height, so he is almost the opposite of Abraham.

There is a commom misconception that Abraham is a crude slugger. He is technically limited, yes, but the typical crude slugger is easy to hit. Abraham is exceedingly difficult to hit clean and almost impossible to hurt. He is also unusually calm and confident in the ring and doesn't need to technically outbox opponents to win a decision. This was a mistake many people made before the Taylor fight. They see Abraham's low output and technical limitations and think he can only win by KO. In reality, Abraham can nullify an opponent's offense with his air tight guard, do nothing for half a round, explode and score the five meaningful punches of the round and win it. His power also tends to make opponents nervours once they taste in in the mid - rounds.

Abraham would KO Martinez in 6 - 9 rounds.

 

Not sure what you mean by 'bigger guys'? Williams is taller than Martinez. Abraham is shorter.

Williams v Martinez was two light middleweights fighting, but not bothering to actually cut weight for the weigh in. Martinez weighed in heavier than Williams and is probably naturally the heavier at this stage (definately if we believe Williams that he can still make 147...).

So Martinez fight proved that he can fight someone taller. Which isn't Abraham. You got anything else? The fact that you think Abraham is slow suggests that you're possibly actually thinking of someone else. Maybe you should go check....

 

Maybe then he could fight Vitali Klitschko.

 

I'd tend to agree with this. Abraham's power is something I doubt Martinez has tasted before. And although Martinez looked great against PW and Cintron, Abraham is not a guy who gets hit a lot. Yes, Martinez would be faster and elusive, but he would have to throw at Abraham to keep him off of him, which would open him up for Abraham's counters.

 

you really are a kid and haven't seen more than 1 fight by each fighter, isn't it? otherwise i can't explain some of your comments and logic, if there is any.

 

Martinez is a good fighter, but he is not big enough or nearly strong enough to keep AA off of him. And I certainly would not call him a pressure fighter. He is also 34 years old so keep that in mind. He looked gassed vs Williams at the end. Abraham is a strange fighter and looking at how guys prepare for other fighters doesnt do much when it comes to him. To beat him, Martinez would have to stay on the move pretty much from bell to bell.....tag him and get away. He could not slow down. He could not stand and trade like he did with Williams at times. He would be there for counters when he came in and that's where Abraham excels. I don't think the fight would go the distance.

 

martinez aint smashing abraham. in fact, it is more possible for abraham to kick his ass by brutal knockout.

abraham is better in all aspects, than say, margarito and you know that maravilla got beat by margo before.
