    Just seen on bet365.com that Taylor is 5/2 to win this fight, with Abraham at 2/7. I think Taylor is going to easily outbox Abraham and given Arthur's style, there's minimal chance Taylor will become gassed and be a sitting duck in the late rounds. Providing there's not a corrupt panel of judges, I think Taylor takes a wide UD.

    Thing is, it only takes one punch. The question is: can Taylor remain disciplined for 12 rounds? He's a lot more skilled and slick than AA, but his defence and his chin have been lacking of late.

    I agree mate ! .... and 5/2 is too big a price ... AA will be stronger at the weight but JT wont allow himself to make the same mistake as against Froch becoming gassed in the final rounds ....

    jt will win the fight only to get stopped btwn rds 10-12. that's just the way he is. i'm was once a huge jt fan but i've he does nothing but breaks my heart, and now he doesn't even break my heart, i just don't expect much from him anymore. i defended him through and through, but after the froch debacle, i'm through.

    Abraham will get KO. Nonetheless:

    - Lucian Bute should be in Jermain Taylor's position.

    - It does not make sense to have "Bad intentions" in this tournament.

    - The whole idea is immense.

    - They have worked fantastically hard to set this up.

    - But why is the IBF holder not involved?

    This is the only negative.​

    Taylor will out box AA for the first 5 or 6 then when he slows down as he always does AA knocks him out.

    Taylor will win if he doesn't get suckered into an exchange. AA is super strong. When starts to land punches his opponents entire mental state changes.

    Taylor will no doubt win the early rounds as Abraham starts slow. I see Abraham coming on in the later rounds and KOing a gassed Taylor.

    I don't feel Abraham is active enough in the early rounds to make Taylor work hard enough to become gassed late on. Suppose that is the gamble of it, but 5/2's a hell of a price.

    Err NO ! ..... He gassed against Froch from the 7th thats cos Froch is always in your face ... no rest for the wicked !

    Since Hopkins hes outboxed Spinks , Lacy and kassim Ouma over 12 rounds fought an admirable fight in defeat over 12 in the Pavlik rematch and drew with Winky Wright over 12 .... so your analysis is completely wrong !
