    :good

    He even admits that it may be completely different when you are in there with him, and people still manage to cry about it.

    Did you read the full quote? Kessler said exactly that about not being up there with Arthur.

    Taylor cant pull the trigger anymore.
    Just like De la Hoya. He needs to retire.

    He needed more than a right hand. When he threw a right hand he didn't land **** anyway. He either needed to counterpunch Abraham and make him pay for some of those wild misses or he needed to be a lot more aggressive overall and push Abraham back.

    What you can not do with Abraham is just stand there pitty patting on his gloves and then backing up and going into a shell when he attacks. That is a recipe for diaster after the first few rounds.

    Stupid answer! How did Kessler say it was easy? he just pointed out what he could have done instead, not what he should have done! Then what the hell is he suposed to say when some reporter ask him a question!?

    This is like JT saying that if he didn't get tired, he wouldn't have lost to Froch. The reason why JT didn't let his right hand go more was because he wanted to save his energy for the later rounds. And he did that. If he had let his hands go more, he might've won the earlier rounds more convincingly but he would've probably been KOed in the 9th round or so. In hindsight, since JT did get KOed, it might've made more sense to just let his hands go early on and go for the kill. But given his past stamina issues, it made sense for him to conserve his energy early on.

    JT really had little chance. He didn't have the power to hurt AA and didn't have the defense to keep AA off of him. And AA's hand speed is very underrated.

    Abraham is very deceptive. He is like a croc, he suddenly come out with pure speed like an animal.
