Andre Ward V Arthur Abrahams May 14th

[HattonTheHammer]

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.

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

[Nameless]

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.

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

do you reckon Abraham has completely lost it? going the way of junior witter?

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

Not sure what others had it at, I actually had Taylor up by two rounds on the night against Abraham when he got sparked so you could say he even got outboxed by a faded Taylor..... Abraham has that KO power for sure that can never be ruled out though. Wards been down before so it can be done.... I'd expect Abraham to be in a shell for the best part of 80 percent of the fight. He better try use that 20 percent well....

[:::PSL:::]

Abraham will get destroyed.

Abraham is probably in store for a beating unless he starts letting his hands go.

If Ward fights on the inside like he did with Bika, then Abraham has a chance to land a big shot.
