    50/50 fight imo....Arthur has more then enuff power to put Taylor away at any point in the fight, and he has more then enough chin to take what Taylor has to offer

    but at that same time, Taylor's backs against the wall right now and i think he trained like it as well...if he sticks to the gameplan it could be a very easy fight

    but at the same time, who really believes Taylor is capable of sticking to the gameplan for all 3mins of all 12 rounds? certainly not me

    which is why this will be very interesting, but i'll favor Abrahams chances, cuzz somepoint in this fight Taylor will get to prove and choose to stay in the pocket and trade shots with Abraham, and that will be the end of the fight

    Boo just loves Kelly and uses every opportunity to boost him. Take his posts with a pinch of salt because of that.

    Taylor's a fast starter who wears out down the stretch.

    Abraham is a slow starter who wears down his opponents down the stretch.

    Logic, however, doesn't always apply to boxing or any sport for that matter. If I had to pick a winner of this fight I would go with Abraham but that's a tentative pick. This fight can really go either way.

    Alot of the boxers in the Super six hasn´t really proven themselves against top-quality opponents...neither did AA. JT has proven himself to be competitive every time he fought a world class opponent. I could see his boxing skills being too superior for AA. I don´t think Dirrell should be underestimated he has maybe the fastest handspeed in Super Six and he has great movement, not exactly something AA likes. He doesn´t sound too smart when he talks though :lol:

    Most skilled? I think that would be Abraham or Kessler.

    I assume JT to win many early rounds, and AA several of the later ones. Some questions of this fight are:
    - is AA able to counter the skills of JT
    - is JT able to avoid the KD-fists of AA and has he enough gas to last 12

    I would not bet on any one.

    Fair points...regarding Dirrell I may be totally wrong, but imho he hasn't faced anyone like Froch or AA yet. Also, regarding which of the fighters of the Super Six have proven themselves against top-quality opposition, I think that Dirrell has the weakest boxing resume of them all. Against Froch he really has to win the rounds against a relentless fighter who will come forward all the time. Against AA he has to stay concentrated for every second of the fight or it's good night.

    Abraham has never fought a fast boxer like Taylor.He's got a good chin and power but he's gonna eat a lot of leather he'l become obese.All he's got is a punchers chance and that's all

    Dirrells has the worst resume of all the 6...I agree there..and there is alot of unanswered questions about him :think He is defo in for a tough night against Froch.
    I think all the fighters has to stay very concentrated in this tourney, coz all the boxers are dangerous and has certain skills.

    "like he's never been hit before" - So your saying he wont be hit that hard then. Cause he has had his jaw broke from previously despite fighting on to win.

    This is Jermain's last hurrah, and he knows it. Like a poster above said, logic does not always apply in boxing. In my opinion that is especially true of JT. He beat Hops, had a draw with a still very good Winky, but lost to Pavlik and Froch. Think about it! Logic doesn't apply to Jermain Taylor.

    The fact that JT knows this is his last chance may play a bigger roll in this fight than some think. You guys ever try to kill a cornered rat:think
