A brutal ko shot.

Can't see him having the reach to trouble Kessler and Taylor may well outbox him. I would be concerned about Froch getting caught unless he uses his jab and stays out of range.

abraham has KO'd tall fighters brutally (oral, ikeke) and he has also beaten tricky mobile fighters (such as nader hamden and elvin ayala, the guy who drew with future WBC 154 champ mora). he edges into range, picks his shots well. he might be short but he has skill to set up the shots and power to cancel out some of these chins.

taylor's not going to outbox him. taylor's chin will be a question post froch, ward's chin is a question mark too and so is dirrell's. taylor won't box well in germany, likely.

abraham has fought few punchers or heavy hitters - this could be a problem. arthur has met all styles - as well as lanky boxers and tricky movers, he's battered the good pressure fighter/southpaw khoren gevor - the world #4 middle & the guy that felix sturm got a lucky decision over last weekend)...

i think "der smurf" is well equipped. the extra weight will enable him to have stamina to finish off opponents once he has hurt them.
