Andre Ward V Arthur Abrahams May 14th
I thought Abrahams quit the SuperSix.......I think he knows his times up and cashing in....I think Ward will win BIG
Job Biscuit (Abrahams too damn slow)!!!
eh eh!!
Re: Andre Ward V Arthur Abrahams May 14th
I agree, Ward is going to box circles around Abraham. AA will not be able to get off punches, and will be covering up for most of the fight.
Re: Andre Ward V Arthur Abrahams May 14th
I'm calling it right now, an old-looking Abraham quits on his stool before the 10th round.

He said after the Froch loss that he will finish out the tourney because he made an obligation but after his last S6 fight he will return to MW

He couldn't even make SMW for his last fight (though I doubt he tried very hard), he'll be a corpse at 160. I think he's pretty much done and he'll always be one of those fighters that we wonder about what he could have been because he spent so much time treading water in Germany.

it is funny dude
abraham was battered by froch, no shame in that
he was beaten by dirrell but he was coming back into it at the end and a lot of people on here said if it had gone another round aa may well have knocked him out
before that fight he was the favourite in a lot of peoples eyes for the tournament
If AA can put the froch and dirrell fight behind him and get some form back he can make a fight of it, i think wards style is almost suited to AA at his best

i just dont see it happening mate, best chance of getting to ward is early on in the fight where he likes to feel his opponent out, sadly for AA that is also his exact same tactic
speed plays a massive part in this fight, even if AA can go against every point of his career to date and try and get a fight going he will soon realise that andres handspeed and footwork is just too much
I reckon ward has him out of there within 9/10

i aint saying AA will win, hes being written off a bit easy tho
and wards power isnt that amazing and AA can take some punishment
best bet is ward on points, and i reckon it will be closer than a lot of people are saying

but as we well know his forehead is. I suspect he went to the same US boxing school as evander holyfield and bernard hopkins
Re: Andre Ward V Arthur Abrahams May 14th
Abraham has to land more and to land 1-2 good otherwise it's over. It should normally go with Ward via a prudent 12 rounds UD or if he's lucky, Abraham via a lucky brick on the chin in the late rounds (if he throws more) and I tend to privilege greatly the first ending.
Re: Andre Ward V Arthur Abrahams May 14th
did anyone actually see abrahams outing a week or so back
up until the injury forced the journeyman bits and bobs fighter to retire abraham was on the end of a barrage of clean hard punches that was reddening his face something rotten
Stjepan Bozic - Boxer
that being the very guy who did that to him, anyone that even entertains the idea of abraham standing a chance against ward needs to have a word with themselves

i dunno mate, beginging to think he never actually had it in the 1st place
his career highlight being a win over edison miranda, remembering the fact pantera got completely shafted in the 1st fight by a ridiculously biased ref

he looked very good against taylor although taylor well past his best at the time
i hope he turns up against ward and gives him a good fight, if he doesnt then ward will have had a relatively easy path to the final
