    This is a winnable matchup for Muagbi. His firepower might put AA into an all night shell.

    Leaning towards Mugabi in this one although his style is taylor made for AA. I'm really not a fan of how AA fights but he was very effective with that High Guard against fighters that stood in front of him and traded with him. Movement and activity was the key to beating him due to his slow foot speed and slow wide punches.

    All that said, I view Mugabi as the better fighter that should come out on top.

    This would definitely be a great fight. I’m wondering if Abraham might somehow outlast Mugabi though. John wasn’t one for seeing the final bell

    Somehow I go with Abraham. John had great power and surprisingly he shortened his punches for Hagler, but Abraham was more proven. Besides giving a rusty Marvin a tough fight, what did John really do?

    One question here, Can Abraham take the firepower of the beast early. I don't know so I got it a 50/50 fight

    Abraham had a world class chin. Mugabi won't stop him.
