What style is best to beat Abraham?

hmm he is going to be hard to beat..he seems to turn it up a notch when ever he wants..that strait right was just sick.

 

Kessler...

 

You need to have very good foot movement and going forward and throw combinations on him (use the left to open his guard and punish him with the right) - and you can take advantage of AA not being a good counter-puncher..each time AA attacks go back and round him. I think you need to go hard on him in the first rounds without using all the stamina.

 

Hopkins

 

A good outboxer with superior foot movement. It also helps HUGELY if you can counterpunch, I can't stress that enough.

If you simply pick away at his guard, you might get rounds in the bank but you don't hurt him, you don't wear him down or take his will, you only sap your own energy. And that can really come back to haunt you if you can't counterpunch him when he becomes more aggressive.

 

Kessler or Hopkins styles would do I think.

Perhaps even Dirrell's - we will see.

 

Jermain's style is actually good for AA, but he needs a 38.6% increase in power. 39.7% at the very most, then AA is toast.

 

Taylor needed more than a power transplant. He wasn't hitting a whole lot, his connect rate must have been poor. That is because he only leads, he can't counterpunch effectively. Leading against Abraham virtually assures you won't land **** except to the body.

 

I forgot to say that u also need to have a good chin

 

if dirrell was a little braver he might have what it takes..but he dont like to 'fight'

 

hmm maybe pavlic could hurt him

 

If someone can punch around that high guard effectively that might work.

Froch can do that, or at least he did with Taylor.

Also somene with decent body work...

 

Disagree with the premise of the thread - he looks very beatable to me. A 5'9 boxer/puncher with low activity is not difficult to work out.

 

peter quillin, in your face, balls to the wall fighter with immense knockout power and a solid chin. the kid is like this generations julian jackson...well thats going a bit far but he's definitiely a beast.
