After Watching Jermain Taylor Vs Kelly Pavlik 1 Yesterday What I realized Jermain Taylor's Biggest Problem is, Is that once his opponent shows that they wont back down or pick up the pace ahead of what he is actually doing... he has a mental break down.. it doesnt have anything to do with conditioning or stamina.... he just mentaly breaks down because he fights in fear of being engulfed by his opponent AA is powerful, has a chin and doesnt back down if jt doesnt get aa out of there early... he will get knocked out late... just like pavlik & Froch
I agree that Abraham will probably KO Taylor, but the title of this thread is very distasteful given the recent news.
Maybe this time Taylor will not collapse and last the distance and win a UD just like with Bernard Hopkins. Each fight where he was knocked out he was winning on score cards.
I think Abraham will KO Taylor too, but AA does have a tendency to stand around too much without punching. If Taylor can stay away he can pull off a decision.
Abraham usually starts slow in the opening rounds that's where JT will take the lead, but i think later in the fight Abraham is gonna start landing bombs and JT is going to run out of stamina. IMO. I could be wrong. I'm a big fan of both fighters, but I'm rooting for Jermain a little more on this one.
I dunno, I don't think AA has the workrate to beat Taylor. If Taylor can manage to not gas I don't think Abrahams minimal workrate is gonna get to him. AA couldn't even hand Ljuan Simon his ass.
i disaagree taylor has a decent chin if his stamina holds up but aa is a slow paced fighter jt ud is my prediction
AA supporters keep saying it is just AA fighting 'down' to the level of his competition. He has built up a style that is enough to win in his home town. Question here is, with the whole world watching, can he get a home town decision? I hope Showtime has taken steps to make sure that there are fair judges at ringside for these events.
I agree i think JT has had the more experienced opponents and has competed well he'll easily handle AA:vonnecunt
