Arthur Abraham vs. Jermain Taylor

That's the smartest approach, but even with Showtime's involvement I still have concerns about what it would actually take to get a decision over AA in Germany.

 

AA is gonna beat that scrub

And this avatar is BS. I initially picked JT but then reversed about a week before the fight.

Taylor is going to retire after this.

 

You make it sound like they should just fight rounds 4-12. A nice 8 round fight. If that was the case, then JT by UD even in Germany.

 

Sorry but I don't listen to commentators when I watch a fight. I use my own two eyes and Taylor was being hit repeatedly with right hands in both his fight with Pavlik and Froch. He was winning both fights by being active but he was being tagged clean with strong shots both leading to knockouts.

Tell me something dummy. If his defense was so great in his fights with Pavlik and Froch. Why was his face swollen in both those fights?

And then there's the matter of him getting knock the **** out in both those fights. Running out of gas bs, sorry but if you keep getting hit your bound to go down at some point. Taylor is not Superman so get over it.

Oh and criticizing a fighter is not hating its pointing out the truth alright dumbass.

 

I hope you have an ear bud for him cuz since when has JT fought smart? Manny couldn't get him to follow instructions either...

 

Not so much WHERE they are from, but think 'birds of a feather'. Corrupt people will find each other.

 

Jermain lost to Froch partly because HE DID follow his corners instructions.

 

Damned if you do........ I guess he should learn to listen WHO to listen too. In fairness, I was giving JT rounds but started wondering at one point if the ringside judges were giving Taylor his normal 'flash points' or if they were giving Froch credit for damage. I guess it was two to one on that one. And I think many in press row had it closer.

 

In my opinion the bottom line in Taylor/Abraham is that Jermain does need to fight smart, and I'm done counting on him to do that. I hope like hell he surprises me, but I'm sure not going to count on it.

 

To tell you guys the truth. I don't trust Taylor to fight smart or to even win this fight. I know that Jermain has talent but remember that Abraham is no bum and when Jermain steps up for the most parts he crumbles at the middle to the end of the fight. I believe that this is a showcase fight for Abraham to show that he's the real deal. I believe that Abraham KO Taylor in 6.

 

I think if Abraham gets the KO it will be very late. Taylor is a damn good boxer and pretty resiliant mentally imo. I think he can bounce back and box well.

I don't believe Abraham has faced anyone as skilled as Taylor either. Abraham is moving up and there is clearly a length disparity which will help Taylor maintain distance. Abraham is not a busy fighter even though he is pretty accurate so I see Taylor jumping out to a lead like always.

Taylor's problem is that he crumbles physically down the stretch. This is where the fight will be decided imo. I think if Abraham doesn't pressure enough, Taylor can win on pts. I just don't know if Abraham's occasional bursts will be enough to wear down Taylor. Many lessor middleweights than Taylor made it late or the distance with Abraham. However, it's possible Abraham may have been weight drained and will be more active. But an Abraham late KO win would not surprise me.

But I'm sure the late rounds will be quite exciting no matter what.

 

I don't think Abraham will get KO. I think he has a great chin and he showed it against Edison M when he got his jaw broken and he never look like he was going to fall on the canvas. I think Taylor has the talent but he facing a really good and hungry fighter in Abraham and I think he'll get tired and KO in the 6th round.

 

Actually, I agree. Maybe I didn't word it properly. I don't think Abraham will lose by KO. I meant Abraham will knock Taylor out late.

Taylor by KO and Abraham on pts. are very unlikely imo.

 

Abraham doesn't apply the sort of pressure to slice open Taylor's Achilles heel, to say the least. Taylor isn't in a great place though, clearly.

 

Thats true but how much legs does Taylor have left? That should be the biggest question in this fight.
