Abraham has no true skill ... he has the shell like Winky ... and is very wide/wild when it comes to throwing his punches ... very stiff, robotic ... poor footmovement ... poor head movement ... no list of former champions faced in the ring ... Has a lot of heart but no true skill and no techniqe ...
His chin is overrated ... his skills aren't up to par with Taylor ... I think Abraham is the weakest link in the whole tournament ...
I think because of his height/weight disadvantage he could be one of the two out after the first round.
I don't take you seriously anymore as a poster, obviously a pure hater, good job on your total number of posts though, at least you are contributing to ESB:good
You said it best ... he has the shortest reach, height, and skill package out of all 6 fighters. He's undefeated but he hasn't fought anyone who's as good as any of these 6 guys. Taylor has fought the best and has beaten the best ... Froch has been in there with 2 world champions ... and Kessler has beaten 5 world champions ... and Kessler has the most title fights out of all the competetors. Ward and Dirrell are just good athletic guys who are coming to overwhelm the more seasoned guys. Taylor is in the finals and he's going to face either Dirrell or Kessler ... Kessler is going to get beat but he'll bounce back. I think Taylor beats all of those guys ... and wins the whole tournament ...
But Pavlik fighting a career WW is not a disadvantage to Paul fighting a HUGE MW, you Pavlik fans never cease to amaze:good
Other then physical and athletic attributes(height and speed) THERE IS NOTHING skills wise Jermain has AA will be bothered with. You heard it here first.
Abraham has a titanium chin. Hes Armenian, so hes bound to be tough as nails. If Abraham gets frustrated by Taylor, which he might, Abraham will whip out the uppercuts and right hands and corner Taylor and TKO him.
And what have I predicted for that fight and why? I'm being consistent. Show me any post I have made that says Pavlik doesn't have a weight/size advantage in that fight. And did I say Abraham is out in the first round or did I say I wouldn't be surprised? Now who is hating?
Just re-watched the froch-taylor fight and taylor looked ok even in the last but got caught and then his legs went and never recovered! Is this still a case of lack of stamina, maybe to some extent but dont think he actually gased out!? As much as hes one of the big names in the tourn he may be the suprise package and get things back on track!!
