Abraham - Ward Fight Thread

[El Kabong]

Dang, all I wanted is for the Super 6 to be competitive and AA has just closed up shop....damn shame.

I guess we'll see Ward-Froch for the finale then unless Johnson pulls off the upset and then I guess its Ward-Kessler.

[MMASUX]

Yea Ward-Froch will be a helluva a fight, but so will Froch-Johnson. You can't ever count out Glen JOhnson.

[No Contest]

Ugh, knew the fight was going to be boring most likely, but the first 4 rounds were a tease....AA completely went to shit after the 4th. He really needs to relearn how to box, or just retire. Anyone with any type of boxing skill just completely outclasses him.

[No Contest]

Ward looked a little bit better I don't blame him for the fight sucking, it was more of AA just being a turtle and having no offense.

If only fights were fifteen rounds, the final three would never be dull with AA. He always looks as though he can land that punch as his opponent tires. It's just a shame that he doesn't try to win any of the other rounds. I thought he won that final round.

Still, very good performance from Ward and it wasn't all that dirty. I wish commentators wouldn't compliment a fighter in his ability to hold though.

Really disappointed in Abraham, hardly threw the jab after round 3. Credit to Ward though, good job for him

Miles people also forget that Froch got dropped by Taylor....seriously hurt by him. Glenn Johnson is not someone to be looked past.

He went night and day with Clinton Woods three times. Johnson is a solid fighter and a very crafty old vet, but stopping Green in a very close fight hasn't really told us anything more than he can beat a contender in the division. Froch is a step above that. I see it being fairly competitive early, but Froch will want to impress the faithful and he will likely end Johnson's career.

Froch could and should beat Johnson but Roy Jones Jr should have too. Froch is vulnerable and Johnson is dangerous!

No he wasnt, he got dropped and wasn't hurt at all got back up and was fine.

Boring fight.
Well done to Ward though, a level (or two) above Arthur.

Now I'm off to bed before he starts bible bashing in the post-fight interview.

I predicted Mosley vs Berto because of their respective situations happening soon. Pavlik vs Abraham won't be far behind...

I think that would be a better fight for Abraham because Pavlik is there to be hit. That should be a good fight. They both seem to be about B level at this point in my eyes.

I would have loved to have seen Mosley-Berto when it was originally scheduled, but I have zero interest in that fight now. As for Pavlik-AA, I don't believe there would be much interest in this fight, and Pavlik needs to fight someone with a title at 168, it's time to sink or swim.
