SeikanJudanski · 03-04-2006, 05:14 PM

In my opinion, it was a weak fight. AA clearly dominated the fight, but didn´t show anything spectacular. If AA gets better opponents than Shannan Taylor he might not look good. He was not able to knock him out, and wasn´t really able to impress, except for stick and run and some good body shots.

Good job, Seikan.
As Abraham was walking to the ring, I recognized he looked kind of nervous. Don't know why. Then, in the fight he was holding back I think. Usually Arthur is a much better fighter.
