Stick to your own argument. If you get caught up in what a Pav fan has to say, then you're no better than they are, and they are the worst. What else can Brad say lol, his man turned coward and did not even fight AA, the only fight tht mattered at MW lol... Stick to your guns, not some petty Pav interns opinion lol...
JT has a whole lot more than just a jab, you can't become the undisputed world champion and dethrone one of the greatest fighters of all time with just a jab.
That doesn't mean ****. They can hire a Chinese, a French and a Cuban. It wOuld still be IN Germany. Most fight have judges from different country. DOesn't prevent robbery from hapenning.
Abraham is a -250 favorite. I wonder what the line will be for an AA DECISION? Probably pretty good, no?
And if he does? Big fucing deal? So he will have a loss on his resume, I think undefeated records are overrated! But I feel good going into the fight for arthur, hopefully he comes in looking like he did against Miranda 2, then I have no doubts he handles JT.
People are too harsh on JT. He could have been still undefeated. He was winning his first fight with Pavlik and almost had him out in the 2nd round. Also was winning his fight with Froch and needed only seconds to secure a victory. Dont forget he has two well deserved victories over Hopkins.
Dont underestimate the fact that Abraham is now in a weight class where he doesnt have to worry about weight. He had to make a lot of weight in his last fights AND was p*ssed cause he couldnt get his hands on the other title holders. Against Taylor at 168 you will see the most motivated Abraham ever. Thats a fight he has been waiting for years. He will be prepared, no doubt. But will Taylor? Im not sure. Its clear, he has stamina issues. If he cant fight for full 12 rounds, he is toast. Skilled as Taylor is, he has off course a chance, but im not sure what kind of performance Taylor2009 can deliever after his ko defeat vs. Froch (who is imho not as dangerous as Abraham). Abraham can turn a fight around with one punch, that makes it difficult for everyone. If Taylor gets stunned, he wont recover vs. AA.
I think Abraham will win the competion, and beat Taylor by KO. But....its not unrealistic to suggest that Taylor could win a UD/SD. I hope Taylor actually does well, just not against Arthur :deal
I've seen 7 of Abraham's fights, but I haven't seen anything on this thread to convince me that my opinion of him is inaccurate. I always see a lot of hoopla about Abraham's defense. It's pretty easy to look good defensively when you are fighting such low calibre opposition. I constantly here about AA's chin, but when you're fighting guys with a 30-40% KO ratio, it's pretty easy to take their power. Arthur's power is no doubt good, but guys Joval and Ouma stopped finished on their feet. So did Simon, a philly club fighter. With that in mind, it seems presumptuious to assume AA will knock Taylor out, and he can't win a boxing match with JT. This is not hating on Arthur like people accuse me of. This is simply an effort to point out a few facts.
Jermaine is a good fighter but he has no fight plan ever in fights, and he does not seem to want to have one or the discipline to use it over 12 rounds. He will fight well for a few rounds and maybe for 6 rounds and hit Arthur well, and then he will get tired and he will be stopped again late. Since he has now been stopped two times, his opponents are going to try to put pressure on him and see if he starts to wilt. It is up to him to show he is great by being better defensively and having a fight plan and showing he can win a 12 round fight against a guy like Abraham. He has such great skills, but something mentally is not that tough or disciplined. If he could put it all together he could have been greater than Hopkins.
Don't you realize that wiht Taylor, the argument is always "could have been"...I remember very well before the rematch with Pavlik how many said "if Taylor does so and so, he will win". Yes, but he didn't. He lost twice to Pavlik, convincingly. His wins over Hopkins are debatable, I scored one win for each fighter. He couldn't hold on to a good lead against Froch. Why would this change now, you think Taylor suddenly reinvents himsefl?
JT COULD win this one, but I really think he's gonna be tested by AA (maybe even more than by KP) in order to do so. And most people have it right: the longer the fight goes on, the less his chances are of winning (and most likely he'll be more exposed to a KO with his decreasing stamina).
Taylor will win the First 5-6 Rounds But Abraham in the late Rounds will Dominate this Fight and he would Knockout Taylor its sure. I Think Taylors best Time is Over Abraham win this Fight in the late Rounds.
I think JT will drop Abraham twice by the fivth. And then the ref will stop it. To big, to good, to strong, over 10 rounds. This one will go 5 mark my words.
