    Sure, Taylor will throw 1000 jabs trying to keep Abraham at distance, and each and every time Taylor connects with Abraham's gloves and arms, you Taylor fans will jump from the couch and yell in franzy how good Taylor is...

    After a few rounds Abraham will then warm up and throw some shots of his own, and when the first one lands, then we will see what happens :)

    I'll ask you again after the fight about the outcome, that's of course if you don't dissapear in Taylor's bottom regions by then ;-)

    Abraham has such low output Taylor may not tire. And when he doesn't he's world class. I got JT in this one.

    Abraham's best fight with the most activity early was at 164 punds against Miranda. He may very well be a lot more active at 168 than when he struggled to make 160. Besides, Taylor tires by himself, the Hopkins fights proves that clearly. And Taylor has lost three of his last four fights, all losses were winnable fights he lead on the cards. I have a hard time believing that this won't make Taylor really nervous once Abraham lands some punches.

    Is it just me or are most of the same people who said before the Froch fight "Taylor won't tire against Froch because Froch isn't a pressure fighter" now saying "Taylor only tired against Froch because Froch is a pressure fighter, but he won't tire against Abraham because Abraham isn't a pressure fighter"?

    Im looking for Jermain to win, but to refer to Abraham as a punching bag is just dumb. Abraham is serious threat to anyone, and I would not be surprised if he won the whole tournament ..

    Taylor could win the fight,but i think like alway's he will gass out after 6 rounds and abraham will punish him till it lasts,but i see taylor winning the fight up till then,i really want taylor to win,because he has the most experience and probably the best skilled also. My predictions for sat are abraham by 9th round tko and dirrell by ud.

    And also think beating Lacy inbetween Pavlik and Froch shaped thrashings means he's anything worth getting excited over.

    He gets tired because he's fast and explosive but not well conditioned. Abraham will take him out because he's deceptively fast, punches incredibly hard and takes his time looking for the right opening.

    For the love of Christ no he isnt! Kessler is far more technically skilled than Taylor, as is Ward. Taylor STILL fights like a tense amateur.

    ******ed post. You a Pavlik fan by any chance?, I notice most Pavlik fans are either UFC fans or clueless trailer park trash. Have you HONESTLY followed Abraham properly?, the guy isn't a punching bag. Pavlik, Miranda and those guys can be called punching bags who rely on taking punches to land their own and when they lose their punch resistance they will kiss the canvas, Margarito style.

    Abraham moves, counters and relies a lot on his feet. One thing Abraham is very popular for is being unpredictable. Ever wondered why Pavlik turned down Abraham publicly and shamelessly only to consider Mayorga who was coming off a 12th round KO to Mosley?

    Abraham will be a serious challenge for Taylor and unlike Pavlik or Froch he will be unpredictable and hit harder. Taylor has a lot of work with here and if he couldn't handle no skill one dimensional jokes like Kelly "The trailer park motivator" Pavlik and Carl "The British Sugar Ray Leonard" Froch then he's in for a serious one in this fight and I would HATE to see Taylor hurt but that's how it goes.

    Abraham fought Ikeke when Ikeke was P4P material and when people were hyping Ikeke to be scaring Bernard Hopkins away. Now these ******s won't be talking about this or admitting it, a simple google search should expose those clowns. Kelly Pavlik fought Zuniga and Zartache who Booradley and other trailer park no good losers here consider as "Muhammad Ali" quality opponents. :lol:

    If he's taken out early then he will be hurt big time and doubt will make it on the big scene only after a few real good wins. If he's KO'd late again then it's stamina and he can't compete on that level. Whatever way he loses it's not good unless it's a UD, that would be A LITTLE bit better than KOs if he plans to come back after it.

    I'm going with Abraham! Taylors best chance is early, he has the ability to trouble AA but recently seems to be unable to pull the trigger. Mid rounds I see the tables turning with AA taking command if he can put pressure on him he can test Taylors stamina and maybe land that KO punch. Unless Taylor does something spectacular I can't see him winning a decision in Abrahams back yard.
    It'll be interesting to see how AA handles the move in weight and if the Froch KO has effected JT.
