Jermain Taylor v Liborado Andrade - 10 Rounder?

I need to see Taylor fight again against some weaker opposition before I would have a pick. But if he resembles the guy that was about to beat Froch before gassing I would pick him

 

I wouldn't lay a bet down on that one, even if it were just vCash. That's just it, maybe Taylor outboxes him, maybe he gets knocked out. :conf

 

Taylor for me but really needs to take a few easier fights before going in with contenders

 

Bad, bad match up for Taylor.

 

Given Taylor's track record for wearing down under pressure I don't think he'd do very well here and he'd get stopped... and for his health's sake, let's keep him away from guys like Andrade who have the ability to brutally concuss him.

 

The rounds suit Taylor well, but I like Andrade here.

Taylor is shot. Done. Mentally and physically.

 

Andrade is trash. I don't know why he gets so much credit. He just eats a thousand punches and comes forward but has zero skill. jt only loses to guys with big punching power andrade is not that guy. And he is not as durable as froch or Abraham and let us not forget jt put froch and pavlik on their back pockets so I don't see why he wouldn't put andrade to sleep. No defense no offensive skills no knock out power no speed. Jt tko8

 

No.

 

Great rebuttal. Awesome insight and analysis.

 

Well, it was more to-the-point than the other thing I was going to say which was, "**** off, *******."

 

:yep:good

 

I think Andrade wins this for a few reasons. First, Taylor is all but done. Secondly, Taylor fought in a much more controlled fashion against Abraham but I don't think he would pass up the chance against a guy who lets you hit him constantly and Andrade has a knack for grinding out the wins.

And to the poster who thinks Taylor would put Andrade to sleep....what do you base that thought on? That he knocked down Pavlik and Froch? Taylor has put anyone to sleep in 6 years or so. He couldn't put smaller fighters like Spinks and Ouma to sleep and Ouma literally stood in front of him begging for it. No need to question Andrade's durability, he's only been KO'd by a bodyshot by perhaps the best body puncher in the game. If you saw Kessler vs. Andrade you wouldn't rate his durability lower than Froch or Abraham.

 

This dude is a giga pet. Have fun typing on your crap pc in your one room flat.

I don't mean literaly to sleep but he would be able get a ko or a tko.
I did see the kessler fight and I also saw both bute fights. The reason I say what I said was due to andrades lack of any other tangible except chin and determination he gets his **** pushed in. Pavlik froch and Abraham are devestating puncher and all have incredible chins. Andrade has neither overly impressive power or an incredible chin. Bute did knock him out with a body shot but don't forget he was dropped by a short hook a minute earlier. In order to beat jt you not only need pressure but also power. And let's not forget jt has skills so he will be winning every round against andrade. Andrede only chance is a ko and in a ten round fight he doesn't have enough road to make it happen. Jt tko8
