Boxing; 1/14/2012; Abraham-Farias; Germany

[fastfrank]

I played this as a round prop; under 8.5-150. My reasoning being Abraham, for all of his unpolished, caveman tactics, is tough as nails and has seen the best level of competition at super middle in the world. His opponent has been in with I'd say "C" level guys. Abraham is at home and I think is being spoon fed an opponent he can shine against. Also Farias' last 3 where at light heavy, 175, now he drops down to 168. Maybe he comes in drained? Last fight Farias loses because he cracks a guy after the bell and gets DQ'd. Farias has never been in with anyone with experience that even comes close to Abraham's.

just a tad more info....

just a tad more info....

King Arthur Abraham?s ring return has electrified
German boxing fans. While a crowd of 1,000 people attended Sunday?s open
work-out at the Europapark Rust, all 4,000 tickets for Saturday?s fight
against Pablo Farias (19-1, 11 KOs) have been sold

Hi Frank,

I am on the under too.

U 9.5 -150
Not the distance -275

I hope we will both cash in :toast:

 

[fastfrank]

Wish I had the 9.5 and not the 8.5, but it is what it is. Abraham loses against the best talent, while Farias beats the tomato cans of the world. Glad we are on the same page!

I also think that Abrham will stop Farias!!

BTW, I watched Farias last fight!
He looked pretty chubby, I dont even think he cann fill out 168 lbs.....

Usually, I'm tentative to bet on fighters coming of losses, but Abraham should stop him in 7 or 8!!!

 

[fastfrank]

Sure, I get that, BUT, he lost to Andre Ward, not some cream puff club fighter. The German fans are drooling to see him back in the mix, and I don't see how his management would not put him in with a hand picked opponent. Hey, the Huston Texans lost 3 in a row and came back to win their next game. I think Abraham is licking his chops to demolish someone.

[fastfrank]

Berto-Ortiz! OMG, are you really going to bet that?

 

[THE_THONG]

berto will get revenge :0008

Abraham beats a tomato can, sure. What can he do versus an "A" level guy? For all his years, he stills fights like an unpolished neanderthal.
