    well to be fair there was one or maybe two occasions where Abraham connected, Froch was stunned (maybe because he had forgotten what it felt like to be punched in that fight) or at least slightly buzzed

    cant remember the ward one though

    Really? Haven't watched a replay but didn't notice it at the time, sometimes different on TV. He backed up once late, but I think just to avoid being caught again.

    The blueprint is out there.
    Plodding AA stays in his shell too long and active guys with lateral movement can navigate themselves to a steady points win.

    true bill


    the punching power and the lack of big strong athletic guys (lads who where all round sportsmen types, 6'1, strong etc seem to go to super middle) will help him though


    Wasnt the reason he went up to 168 because he was dead at 160?


    I seem to remember him losing an unhealthy amount of weight for the Oral fight? Apparently hes fond of McDonalds (seriously)

    Dropped but never hurt. Purely balance.
