I, as well, get that feeling. If not so much with Dirrell, because at that time he had never dealt with a fighter of such craft, at least Froch. After learning why he was being outboxed, he should've done something to change that against Froch. Froch's power could have made him cautious to exchange. It'd be great to have another upset in the Super Six, but I'm not sure if Arthur Abraham will come out all guns blazing. Possibly towards the end, if he realizes he is really blowing it. But, Andre Ward is a very good fighter. It might be a different fight as he'll come on the inside with Abraham, unlike Dirrell and Froch. Should be a good fight. I wonder if I should watch the replay of last weeks fight that I had boycotted.
I'll believe he can do something different in the ring when I see it. I hope Abraham wins, I've always liked the guy. But what do we have to base it off of? Froch v Abraham wasn't even competitive. Ward saw that fight and will attempt to do the exact same thing. Ward won't fight Abraham like Dirrell and Taylor did. Both of those guys put themselves in close and it gave Abraham those chances to land one of his big shots. Carl fought him on the outside and looked like he was just tapping away at a heavy bag all night. Which way do you think Ward, who's clearly a very ring savvy fighter, will fight?
atsch What until after this weekend then get back at me!:good Plus this is an avatar bet so try and keep up!
Very true.. I think Abraham has fallen in love with his punching power, which is why he looks lost if he can't find his target. Froch saw how frustrated Direll made Arthur by moving and boxing and applied the same plan. Arthur plan for the fight is, high guard, lots of pressure, land the big shot.. I actually thought that Abraham was the second coming of the Marvelous one.... WRONG.. No where close.
It depends, if Ward dies after taking being bombed by Abraham, out of respect I will not proceed in taking my takings from winning the bet and let it slide. But the 2 week Avatar bet is still on regardless
Son of Ruiz is gonna Beat **** out of AA and it will not look pretty. I feel already sorry for AA, but if he really comes out of his Gunzz BlazingI give him credit win or lose.
Abe will bumrush Ward no doubt as long as Abe does not hide himself behind his guard all the time throwing only one jab or wide haymaker at a time like he did in the fight with Froch, hes gonna KTFO Ward
No, I expect him to pull a Mosely, but he needs to fight like Rocky Marciano to have a chance, sure the minute he tastes some power its the ear muffs all night in survival mode.
dont worry he hasnt even the skills to either he puts another fraudulent performance on like against Froch and gets stopped by Ward or hes gonna destroy Ward.. maybe loose a close decision after he KD´d Ward several times.. but that fight wont be boring thats for sure
