    ....I hope and believe AA will win the Super Six. But I'm very worried that Taylor will be too quick and too busy for Arthur in the opening fight.

    Any other Abraham fans worried about this one?

    I think its a bad style match up for AA.

    Top Three outcomes (in order of likelihood)

    1/ AA wins a stoppage
    2/ JT wins a UD
    3/ AA wins a controversial SD, Americans go crazy about dodgy decision.

    That's never going to happen.

    Never mind it's apparently in Germany or something.

    My concern is that AA wont be able to "gas JT out". I dont think AA will be able to keep JT busy for 12 rounds like Froch did. If JT fights smart he will win this.

    Cant wait for any of these fights.:happy

    You don't need to keep Taylor busy to gas him out. He gassed against Hopkins despite Bhop not actually waking up from his slumbers until mid rounds. He gassed against Spinks, despite me thinking at one point that the picture had frozen there was so little activity. Froch completely bottled the first four rounds and Taylor still gassed. You don't have to do anything to gas Taylor out, he does it to himself.

    I think at some point in the fight, Abraham will pin Taylor down and smash the **** out of him. But as long as Taylor can stay upright, he's got a good chance of winnng a UD.

    As an Abraham fan I'd be worried about every fight in the Super six....athought Dirrell seems to be worried about that match up. But that probably has more to do with hm being worried about his own chin or something.

    If AA can't handle Taylor then he sure ain't handlin' any other man in this competition !

    Styles make fights. AA will obviously have a lot more trouble with quick fighters with high work-rates, than straightforward, one dimensional brutes like Froch and Kessler.

    Dirrell and Ward have the speed to seriously bother AA. Kessler can win this competition relying on his great jab, while I don't think AA's power will really affect Froch, therefore Froch will press the action and might overwork AA in the end....

    Maybe the most even match in the first round.

    If Abraham wins on points no matter whether it's close, wide or a shutout, the Booradleys will be all over the forum shouting robbery. Some of them had Simon winning. :lol: :patsch

    But yes, you should worry about Taylor, it's a 50/50 fight.

    :good

    I'm about 70% sure that Dirrell will be Froched the **** out. And no disrespect to Ward but you can't give him better than 20 against Kessler at this stage, especially if Kessler destroys Perdomo and shows there's a fire in his belly.

    Style wise I think that AA is at a big disadvantage vs every fighter in the thing. AA isnt busy enough to make Taylor breakdown, and after watching the way that Miranda was able to outbox AA for many of the rounds in thier two fights I dont know that I like AA chances in this thing. Froch would be next in line after AA as to who I think will have the toughest time in the tourny. I think that both guy will pretty much have to catch lighting in a bottle four times to win the thing and I dont see it happening for them. I favor Kessler to win the whole thing but its based solely on the question marks on how Dirrell and Ward will handle being in the spot light, if one or both of them handle it well the winner will come from that duo, if they crash and burn which Im almost sure that one of them will Kessler will be the winner. But AA and Froch in my mind have little to no shot at winning four fights.

    Don't sleep on Dirrell.
