Marcel Cerdan vs. Arthur Abraham. Opening Round European middleweights.

Cerdan TKO 9. I just think there's a big gap technically.

 

Oh, poor Arthur meeting the winner of the tournament so early Cerdan is just one or two leagues above Abraham - my current favourit mw. Cerdan is just better at everything except punching power. Abraham has a great chin so I doubt he will get KOed but I expect him to get a career ending beating. His chin won´t do him any good in here.

Cerdan UD15 Abraham.

 

Cerdan pretty wide UD

 

Cerdan has too much tools for Arthur. Abraham would give it his all for a while, then cerdan would turn the tide in about the tenth. Marcel Cerdan TKO in 11.

 

Cerdan too sharp. He'd easily outwork AA. You can never totally discount a big puncher like Abraham but still, Cerdan clear ud.

 

Perhaps so, But Cerdan would be pleased to know that LaMotta is fighting out of New York & not Italy!

 

Personally, I think Cerdan would beat LaMotta prime for prime and he just is the best mw competing in this tournament - Fitz has a shot but he fought under different rules.

 

I'm surprised by so many people picking Cerdan by KO. Abraham has a cast iron chin, a great defence and his extremely heavy hands have made many of his opponents think twice about opening up.

Marcel late stoppage far better fighter, I could see Arthur gassing and Cerdan stopping him in the championship rounds.
