    It's why I respect SDS. He keeps it real without trashing the other guy.

    I'm picking Abraham, I can see Taylor fading late and AA coming on.
    I think it's going to be a misrable flight back home for the Americans.

    Yes, this is a good preview of the fight, because all Jermaine will be hitting is Arthur Abraham's gloves.

    In my opinion there are at least two sure fire ways to beat Arthur Abraham. One is to be the bigger, badder bully and just run over his lazy ass. Taylor can't do that, so throw it out.

    The other is to run, pot shot, and generally refuse to engage. If you force Arthur to lead, and play off his mistakes, you'll make him look bad, and frustrate hell out him. Physically Jermain is more than capable of humilating Abraham. It's that thing between Jermain's ears that worries me. We simply can't count on JT to fight smart for 12 rounds.

    Abraham was throwing crisp, powerful punches while Jermain was throwing pitty pat, half extension combos(probably just a warmup routine). Jermain is faster, but Abraham is stronger and more calm in the ring. Taylor's low left hand also could mean trouble because Abraham's right can take you out. Overall, I'm not too confident in Taylor winning this fight.

    He kept his left up during that vid. His elbows were to far from his body, but other than that the guard was fine.

    I really hope Jermain wins this. In fact i would like to see Jermain win the whole tournament. He looked a bit tight but come fight night he'll be ready.

    Thanks for posting the vids. I thought both fighters looked pretty good. Taylor did look a bit stiff, but he was letting his hands go well and looked pretty quick to the punch. Abraham wasn't going near full speed, but he looked good too. They both have some snap in those punches.
    After watching Abraham-Miranda I and II, I favor Abraham to win by late TKO, but don't sleep on Taylor.
    The first round of fights in the Super Six look to be pretty close, and an good argument can be made that anyone could win the tourament. So far, the Super Six looks like it's the best thing I've seen in boxing in years.

    Like I said before Taylor will win against the weakest link (Abraham) more hand speed, better movement, better skills, overall a better fighter.

    Abraham is the weakest link in this tournament ... I would rather see Pavlik, Bute, or even Green in this tournament other than Abraham.

    Very limited fighter who's going to lose his first fight in a white wash outclassing ... all Jermain has to do is stay on his feet for all 12 ... this is in the bag.

    I can even see Jermain stopping this guy mid way through the fight.

    The reach factor is bigger than many people would think, Jermain can afford to keep his left down and be able to counter Abraham from the outside because he's that limited. He also opens himself up to short punches when jumping in so wild.

    That wasn't real ... I think Abraham was bull****'n ... that didn't seem real (him punching) but his movement and stance was real.

    You see Jermain working on accurracy, defense, and movement ... thats a plus ... and based on the vid - it seems as though Jermain is taking this fight seriously.
