Arthur Abraham v. Raul Marquez - Let's talk here!!! pics. & vids.!!

You know... In the boxing predictions I am picking AA by pts, but I think Marquez has a really good chance of taking this one.

Marquez has a solid chin. If AA thinks he can sit on the ropes and win this one on defense a la PBF, you might want to reconsider. Marquez WILL work his body, I don't care how much he covers his body with those big elbows (his arms are really long fyi). I think Marquez is gonna get to him in the early rounds and hopfully take some of the pop off his shots. Marquez has been in the ring with much better opposition than AA. AA is proving himself in the ring.

The bad news is we are in Germany. This is a country that is content with scoring one goal in a soccer game and playing defense for 80 minutes to win. Marquez will keep busy but will it be enough to pick up a bunch of rounds early?

Marquez could really pull off the upset here, and actually land the Pavlik fight next year... I would love to see him do it. I think he has the skillz and the know how and he is NEVER out of shape for his fights.

Marquez decision SD ... 115- 113, 115-113, 108-112

Definitely reasonable. The point being if AA sits on the ropes for the first four rounds he may bury himself and not be able to dig out of the hole. On the other hand, AA can punch - ask Miranda. If AA sits on the ropes and Marquez tires from exerting himself in an effort that never actually threatens AA, AA may sneak back and knock Marquez out in the later rounds.

I am rooting for AA because I want to see him in a unification fight with Pavlik next year.

Would you agree that if AA doesn't convincingly stop Marquez, Jermain Taylor begins to look very good? Jermain stopped Marquez in 9 rounds when Marquez was faster and younger.
