I also think Taylor will win, but I'll be rooting for Abraham though. Taylor is all wrong for Abraham.
Late round conditioning is Jermains achilles heel, so I think AA, being a low output fighter, might be a pretty good match up for him.
I am glad majority are writing AA off, hopefully JT comes in to the fight to impress the world of boxing and try to knock Arthur the fuc out early. Hopefully, if he has this mindset, arthur by KTFO inside 5. If he wants to box arthur, his jab is going to be hitting gloves, maybe connecting occasionally thus frustrating JT. After this point, JT will start going to the body and start trying to connect to arthur's head, trying to avoid arthur's high defence making his punches wider to connect to the side of his opponents head. Arthur is going to be catching and counter punching JT ALL NIGHT catching JT in the process with a well put combination with a left hook to the body and head buzzing JT. In my opinion, JT knows he has to have a good showing ESPECIALLY in this SMW tournament, what better place then Germany and against MW coming up. This will be his demise, JT trying to look good and show the boxing fans he is not done. MARK MY WORDS, If JT comes out overtly aggressive, this does not go past round 5 IF JT tries to box arthur, he will get frustrated like what arthur does to most boxers. It is funny how EVERYONE is saying this is a bad style matchup for arthur. I disagree and think this is ABSOLUTELY the WORST fighter Jermain can face in this tournament, styles makes fights, Arthur has this one, with his defense, power, patience and counterpuncing coming to full effect!!!!!
So far AA never needed a hometown decision like Pav against Taylor in their second fight (oiling the fire a bit)
Maybe Arthur should call KASIM OUMA and COREY SPINKS and ask advice of how to not get knocked out against JT:deal
Atlantic city is 400 to 500 miles from Youngstown. MOST people had the fight even going into the last 2 rounds which MOST people thought Kelly won. Oil all you want cuz it isn't fire, it is traction that you are going to lack on this one. AA may not have NEEDED the home town decision yet, but the score cards in Germany tend to have him winning by wider margins than those outside Germany would give him credit for.
I have a feeling jermaine is going to win a clear UD, i really do. I think if him and Pav fought again he would win too. Maybe its just wishful thinking though.
My bad. Add another thousand miles or so......... Distance between Phoenix and Youngstown is This content is protected miles or This content is protected Kilometers The total driving distance from North Las Vegas, NV to Little Rock, AR is 1,454 mi. So, JT had a 'slight' edge I guess. I would have thought Little Rock as a lot closer, but who am I to argue with the world wide web.
We should probably refrain from using the word "kill" before we lose yet another celebrity/athlete again.
