Arthur Abraham vs Jermain Taylor

I would bet my money on the Armenian puncher.In yesterday's fight he proved that he rules the roost.
Gevor made the water extremely hot for his compatriot,and might have won a close point decision if he had fought a little bit more cauitiously.
To top it all their encounter was pure fun to watch.The crowd gave standing ovations,and went emotionally beserk quite a few times during the great battle between Gevor and Abraham.
Abraham also took some good shots,and remained cool as a cucumber despite being under heavy fire several times .
Gevor was a great opponent,certainly better than Ikeke,Miranda,or fighters like Gainer or Jantuah.
I cant really see Jermain Taylor winning a fight against the present version of Artur Abraham,but I can be wrong of course.

 

Taylor could outwork/outbox Abraham quite easily, but the way he's been performing as of late I wouldn't bet the rent on it.

The way things have played out in the MW division as of late, I'd rate this as a pick'em fight -- Abraham for his power and pressure, Taylor for his athleticism and heart.

 

Abraham by KO, easily. Taylor's never faced a true MW puncher.

 

Abraham by late KO or TKO. I don't see Taylor taking Abraham's punches. When Pavlik will be done with Taylor, I would see a fight beetween him and King Arthur. It should be very entertaining.

 

Taylor can win a decision against Abraham by using his jab, keeping him at a distance, and outworking him, but Abraham has the power to stop him and the strength to rough him up. Jermain Taylor is an excellent fighter and so is Arthur Abraham - 50/50 fight.

 

taylor will dance around and avoid the power and outbox him for a boring SD.

 

Abraham cannot box that good and has ok power. The guy GREVOR was a complete and total C fighter with NO power on his punches no snap or even a Pfff on his jab. Get a grip. Abraham fights in 20 second spurts 3 times a round. Taylor would box his ears off. The jab would kill him. The only thing Abraham has is decent power he is a smart fighter and he can fight backing up. Thats about it. Miranda whooped his ass. Taylor would box his ass up. That KO was a good KO but the guy was open for that punch the whole fight. He was swinging wildly in close without moving his head and he caught a sharp uppercut right on the chin that he didnt see. I dont see taylor swarming Abraham smothering his punches with no power...lol. Abraham is too lazy to beat taylor.

 

AA would KO JT in the latter rounds...

 

wow I can't beleave what I just read AA got his ass handed to him by a limited Miranda no way he ever beats JT.

 

I don't want to sound ignorant and dismiss you're comment because I've only seen highlights of Abraham.. But don't you think he is a little small to threaten JT in such way?

Checked boxrec and he KO'd his first 13 opponents so that says something. I bet he has looked good in doing it, but is he really that serious of a puncher? Because if Hopkins couldn't come close to doing so how could a unknown like Abraham do it? Maybe that's why he is unknown for the moment :hi:

 

I say AA by tko in RD9 or 10. JT hasn't shown so much lately, although he is the more skilled fighter, I think AA has more heart, more power, and more killer instinct. Taylors athleticism wouldn't bail him out in this one, as I don't think it will vs. Pavlik either, who I think will KO JT and AA.

 

Because Hopkins at +40 was not a puncher by any means. Abraham has good power, enough to KO Taylor. I've seen Taylor buzzed by Winky Wright also, that doesn't look good to me.

 

JT is a nightmare for Abraham. Abraham is not a come forward pressure guy and is more of a play possum type counter puncher who fights better backing up. The thing is, if you dont pressure JT and and force him to fight on the inside then he will destroy you. JT would be out of abrahams range and jab **** out of him and pretty much do what he wants to do with abraham being the inactive fighter that he is will not find the faster JT when he wanted to mount his offense. Easy style matchup to call. Yes and Miranda whooped abrahams ass.. The worst decision I have ever seen.
