    I feel Arthur is going to pressure Jermain and def have his moments in the fight,But Taylor is the better boxer,I see him outboxing Abraham and maybe even getting a knockdown,But it will be a close fight,I say JT by UD 115-113

    Taylor always gets too sloppy in the later rounds and becomes very hittable, he's getting KOd!

    JT might have to score 1-2 knockdowns to secure a UD in Germany. Abraham has (i think?) never been down so far.

    JT will have to fight one heck of a fight in the lion's den but he might just pull it off. He can easily win the first 3-4 rounds but then must be ready for AA's attacks, AA will come in with wild swinging hooks. He will try to knock JT out inside 8-9 rounds. AA will fade late, his best round are always 5-8. JT has to survive the mid game and then try to win the remaining rounds and thus win the majority of rounds.

    I used to think that Jermain would outbox him...but I change my mind on this one since watching more of Abraham.

    He doesn't stalk his opponents, he has an excellent defense, he gets into this shell to lure his opponents to open up, and once they feel more comfortable, he unloads a barrage.

    Think that Taylor will get TKOd or KOd

    I tend to agree with you but I just got a feeling Taylor will fall short due to his stamina...I hope that I'm wrong though...I would love to see Taylor rise back to the fighter he once was.

    abraham can also be very sloppy and he is alot shorter. one of the reasons froch was able to handle JT is his notable size advantage over him. abraham doesn't have this advantage, he is slow, flat footed, and shells up. if he shells up JT will rip the **** out of him watch parts of the winky fight.

    I'm going with JT on this one.He proved in the second Pavlik fight he can pace himself and i think he is too quick and also has enough pop to gain AA's respect.

    I just hope that Showtime doesn't allow the judges for the fight to be German because if they are then JT will have to KO Abraham or completely dominate him for at least 9 rounds in order to win.

    I'm hoping Taylor has learned from his past mistakes... and also that he has worked on his conditioning and stamina....this should be the fight where he comes back big and strong cause if he loses that'd be kind of the end of a good career for him... I have faith that he will. Let's go Taylor!!!!!!!!

    Abraham comes on in the last half of the fight and Taylor fades.

    AA KO

    There are rarely German judges involved in controversial decisions. The numbnut who scored Chambers - Dimitrenko a draw was a Brit.

    Still Chambers got his deserved win, it's not like every fight in Germany is a hometown decision. More corrupt fights have happened in the US than in any other country.

    I agree. Some dude gave 120-108 score for Khan-Kotelnik :lol:
    think that its enough talking about German judges being corrupt at this point
