Will Abrham match Calzaghes 20 defences?

Prob not.
Unless he continues to fight the caliber he is fighting for the next decade or so.

 

No, he will move to 168 very soon.

 

Abraham's 6 most recent title defenses are:

Oral (Probalby could have fought Karmazin)

Simon (Winky wanted a fight)

Marquez ( Can't *****, it was a mando)

Ayala (Zuniga wanted and deserved the fight)

Elcock (feather fisted prospect)

Gevor (Featherfisted, no notable wins)

Arum and Dunkin are still trying to make Pavlik/Abraham, but Arthur says he'll leave 160 after the Oral fight.

 

No.

He will move up very soon.

 

No, he will move up to 168lbs, I believe he's struggling with the 160lbs division. Excellent fighter.

 

Karmazin called Arthur out. Do you have any insight into why Oral got a fight instead of Roman?

 

When did he call him out?

And besides calling out means ****.

And Karmazin just fought like 2 months ago.

 

I think Ghevor is better than some people give him credit for but his overall standard of opponents has been poor.

He has been in a weak division and doesn't seem to have had as many mandatories as he should. I don't know if thats his fault, the IBF's or just that other fighters haven't been fighting eliminators, as the IBF insist you should to get mandatory status.

If he does go up to 168 we'll get a better idea of his character as there are more good fighters there so less excuse for not finding any to fight.

 

Right after Roman won the NABF title in the McKart fight he said he wanted Abraham and Sturm, but had no desire to fight KP.

 

he'll make 1 more defense then move up as he's weight drained, selling his abilities well short.

 

No.

 

To be fair Karmazin is high risk/low reward but a bette rname than Simon.Not necessarily a better fight.

I have Karmazin's last fight on the Shumenov card but haven't watched it yet.Will watch it these days and see how he looks.

He is really past it.

 

Bo doesn´t like Abraham
Bo does like Pavlik

 

I liked Karmazin for Taylor, instead of Spinks, after he had picked up a couple of wins at 160, but since then Karmazin was knocked out at 154. Now he has the win vs McKart, but Branco is pretty faded, and Karmazin is notoriously easy to hit. I like Karmazin's attitude, and I think he was a very good fighter, but he lacks the recognition in Germany that Oral has, and he would be too open to getting hit.
