Arthur Abraham vs. Jermain Taylor

I think this post should be nominated for best of the week.

If Taylor does this he has very good chances of winning. If he does what he usually does, he has very good possibilities of getting KOed late.

 

Taylor needs a big one... I'll go with him...

 

Yep. Although like I said; Taylor's legs are going to be as little of an issue for him against the particular opponent than any other in this tournament.

 

I like both of these fighters but even the biggest Taylor fans got to know that this going to be a really tough for him and I don't think he can do it.

 

Hopefully he will listen to your advice, if he does, ARTHUR BY BRUTAL BRUTAL KTFO BY A COUNTER LEFT HOOK, anyway can you contact JT or his team????

 

A hard pick for me . . . but I'm picking Abraham.

Moving up in weight should give Abraham more power.

 

That left hook of Arthur's looks good when he's knocking out bag ladies and crack heads. Other than that it's pretty amateurish stuff. Everytime he drops his left down by his waist to throw that junk, JT will hit him with a right hand. You're talking about a great counter puncher verses a guy who throws punches like old people ****; slow and sloppy.

 

Give me more insight.

I like both fighters but Taylor can't fight effectively when being crowded.

 

You're under rating AA and to be honest everytime Taylor trows his right hand he winds it up. It like his right hand is like a sling shot. JT is a great jabber but he's not a great counter puncher. When push comes to shove JT fades and I think AA will takes advantage of it and KO Taylor when he gets tired around the 6th or 7th round.

 

JT is almost done. His time in the sun is gone, and he is not strong enough to beat AA because he can't fight inside. JT does not have the style to beat AA anyway. AA ko in 7 or less.

 

JT will fight anyone where as Pavlik won't after being embarrassed by Hop. Arum is trying to prolong the inevitable, and that is keeping Pav relevant. Pav has been exposed as a guy who, if you can take his punch, he has no other way to beat you.

 

I'm always hearing about Abraham's left hook, but it's TERRIBLE!! He drops his hand clear down by his waist and swings for the rafters. He has been able to get away with that because of the poor quality of his opposition. Even though JT does have a tendency to wind his right up like he was shooting a bow and arrow, he's so much faster than Abraham he should have no problem using Arthur's so called left hook to his own advantage.

 

Yeah but that's just AA's left hook . . . what if AA fights Taylor UP CLOSE?

 

JT is an arm puncher that's why he didn't finish Pavlik. JT will jab, run, and try to clinch, and none of that will work. JT has balls...something Pavlik lacked. Why, because Pav-AA was the only relevant fight at MW, and it never happened because of Pav and Arum who was scared to make the fight.

 

AA does throw that bad left hook but he doesn't do it too much in a fight. JT constantly throws a bad right hand for a whole fight. JT either loops the right hand or he winds it up giving his opponent enough time to get away. JT throws really good right hand punch like 3 times a fight and he never throws a good one in the middle or the end of the fight because he gets too tired and gets sloppy. AA will catch him when he gets tired and it will be over.
