Andre Ward V Arthur Abrahams May 14th

[Otley]

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!!

[MMASUX]

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.

[armin]

It's funny how a year changes things in regards to whom we ratee highly and such...and unless abraham improved threefold over his previous performance he's loosing big time.

[CFH]

I'm calling it right now, an old-looking Abraham quits on his stool before the 10th round.

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

eh eh!!

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.

I can agree on that I was just going by what he said after the Froch loss but we all know what is said and what is done by fighters at times hardly ever goes that way...

Don't forget Timothy Bradley.

Funny thing is most people on this board tought AA would best KP. Seems a bit ridiculous now.

Wards footspeed and angles give him the edge in this fight. If we disregard Abrahams recent fighst and assume he is coming into this one 100% he has a punchers chance but little more. Ward may test the water and stand his ground as he likes to rough guys up but if he feelz any danger from Arthurs bursts he will use the ring and control the range.

Anoher long painful night for Arthur. These guys are in different leagues technically so Ward should have it all his own way but theres always a chance he could briefly lose his concentration and get tagged.

Two years ago he might have, he definitely would have been the best fighter Pavlik had faced at that point. He just looks old to me now though.
