Mugabi. (a ) More snap on his shots. ( b ) Abraham folds after 5 rounds of Hagler punching the sh!t out of him.
I like Mugabi here, based on punch activity just winning more rounds in a close fight 8-4. Abraham uses his high shell guard to slow the pace of a bout and then explodes with combinations only to rest again. Mugabi had an active jab and won't have to go looking for the plodding but strong Arthur. The straight right will be there for Mugabi even if it hits the defensive guard of Artur. Mugabi showed good pace vs James Green but his defense was average at best. I think his gas tank being empty in the Hagler fight was just from absorbing crazy amounts of damage and then hitting the wall. Artur will have success but I don't see it being for several rounds consecutively or enough to win the majority of the rounds. Even though these two guys punch like trucks I think it might be a dull fight. Artur might keep that shell very tight and launch only open up every in respect for Mugabi's power. Mugabi might not have really press the fight but settle for outside shots many which hit Arturs guard.
Abraham ate aggressive power punchers for breakfast. We're talking about a guy with an all-time chin, multiple titles and double digit title defenses against a guy who's known as a hype job who got beaten to a pulp by Hagler and then fizzled out in an assortment of stoppage loses. It's disrespectful to Abraham to think he wouldn't knock Mugabi out or at least beat him up to take a decision.
A better matchup would be Mugabi against Kofi Jantuah, who lost to Abraham but knocked out Rubio and stopped Daniel Santos.
???? Abraham? disrespect a one paced plodder who hid hid away in Germany getting decions with the judges help. Everytime Abraham has faced a world class fighter he has lost.in the USA he is just a strong journey man that's all.
I doubt Mugabi could crack AA's chin whereas there's a fair likelihood that Mugabi would get wobbled and stopped mid to late. Similar match up to AA/ Miranda as already mentioned.
Taylor was shot to **** .and was still ahead when it ended.Abraham is and was just a strong plodder.if he could withstand mugabi power who knows ?if he could then he wins .John was a light middle after all.
