so did anyone watch the Arthur Abraham fight?

I think Bozic hurt his hand when he hit Arthur's forearm. You can plainly see his wrist bend back at an odd angle. When he threw the next punch and it hit AA's elbow, the pain struck.

 

nice body work by AA and good to see him throw flurrys in the first round of a fight. but really he could have done with a KO victory.

I think he will give Ward a decent fight but the super 6 final has to be Ward v Froch for it to really mean something. We will have been watching the S6 for 2 years when the final comes and anything else will be a big anti-climax.

 

He was not behind his turtle shell all the time, that was good to see!
I don't even want to imagine Johnson (even if I like him) or Abraham in the final. :bart

 

That would be EPIC :rofl:rofl:rofl
Who knows ? Everything is possible in the S6 :yep

 

Anything else than Froch vs. Ward would be a huge surprise imho.

 

A recent fight to compare it to:

Abraham = Provodnikov

Bosic = Herrera

except it only went one round...

 

:good

It was a lot like a microcosm of that, yes.

 

It would be a shame, as well - because any fluke circumstances that result in Abraham and/or Johnson advancing to the finals will mean that it is not a top three SMW competing for the tournament crown (because regardless of how the semis play out, Abraham and Johnson are nowhere ****ing close to being top three SMW's). That would really suck.

 

I saw a more busy Abraham that usual, but he was fighting a sub-par opponent. He was still able to easily be pushed into the ropes, and Ward will hold him against the ropes all night long. He needs to learn how to fight backing up, and on the inside, and so far I haven't seen any improvements.
