Is Arthur Abrahams power heavily overated?

No. Gevor lost twice on cuts which came due to accidental headbutts against Konecny. the tko ruling in their second fight was a robbery Gevor was wide ahead at that time.

 

What?

AA is a defensively responsible calculating boxer puncher. Anyone who thinks that man isn't a threat is insane.

I am a huge Dirrell fan, but AA put him down twice in that fight and he was fading fast. He better thank the sweet lord AA messed up and threw that shot and that SRL didn't ask for 13 round fights. He may not have lasted.

 

:deal

This. Sadly too many on the general think Abraham is just another over-hyped Euro fighter, they even say the same about Kessler.

 

I was just joking around, but Boxed Ears is basically right. Punching power becomes a very relative quantity in different fights. sometimes in some fights a puncher will get a greater chance to demonstrate his power. Sometimes the condition of the "punchee" will vary greatly from fight to fight.

What we can say is that AA hits pretty hard. He has a good KO pct and drops a lot of fighters. Overrated and rated is relative, but you certainly don't wanna get caught flush with too many of his shots, or you're gonna be in trouble. When he gets people to the ropes and lets his hands go, starts battering people, it's kind of scary actually, i'm surprised that dirrell weathered through some of those moments.

If he was more active, or better at countering single shots, he'd be a ****ing monster.

 

No. He just has a REALLY low punch output.

 

dirrell didn't fake it anyway, his legs were jiggling after the punch and he clearly had no idea what the **** was going on in that post fight interview. definitely concussed.

 

Dirrell may have faked his concussion...Americans are very crafty like that.

 

that being the case he will catch Froch clean especially with the low left hand.

 

No, he punches like a beast. He's a ****ing monster.

 

Brutal puncher. Not overrated, no.

 

I wouldn't be surprised by either man winning by knockout in this one. I favor AA slightly but if it goes to the cards (by some freak accident), I imagine Froch wins it. Arthur is arguably too conservative for his own good.
