Froch-Dirrell / Abraham-Taylor Weigh-In Photos + Video

AA ia built like a tank. Im amazed he could make 160.

 

Does Dirrell have the same trainer that Lacy had?

 

no he hasn't, Dirrell's uncle leon lawson is his trainer, he seems to have a very amatuerish camp too

 

Jeez ,this is how you might picture the killer from the SAW movies after he takes the mask off.

 

i have been a huge fan since the eighties and i gotta say i am stoked beyond for these fights.showtime came up with a great tournament. i am rooting for froch and abraham but believe they have very tough fights ahead of them. cant wait!

 

JTs arms and shoulders look bigger than AAs and i thought he was the bulky one?

 

Although Taylor has only 17 KO's he must have plenty of pop if he kept Hopkins, Froch and Pavlik off for so long.

 

ABSOLUTELY AGREE HERM, 100%,:good that was his best performance.

 

He also has a little smirk on his face in the recent shots.....:shock:

 

Hermit you know another thing that pops up in these forums about Miranda being aa's best opponent to date. I disagree with that connotation 100%.

Howard Eastman is a really good win for your 17th professional fight;
He fought Bernard Hopkins before aa and gave Bernard all he could handle.

Kingsley Ikeeke 19th professional fight p4p at the time.

Kofi Jantuah is also a good win

Koren Gevor

Miranda twice

My point is I rank aa's best wins as the following and dont think Miranda is his best opponent as everyone thinks.

1. IKEKE p4p status, 19th professional fight for Arthur
2.Gevor: gave arthur all he could handle was a top 3 mw present day top 10
3.Howard Eastman: 17th professional fight, tough guy, one judge hat it 116-112 and another 115-113 against Bernard Hopkins
4. Kofi Jantuah
5. Miranda

Miranda is not Athurs best win if you have been following aa's career.

 

I just wonder if people will give AA credit if he KO's Taylor impressively without too much trouble tonight.

Will Taylor suddenly become shot or a meaningless win if that happens?

If anything, once AA hits Taylor flush, he's the one more likely to be shaken up. JT's tasted KO defeats twice so I think AA will have a good bit of success when he lands on him. JT has to pitch a perfect 9 innings tonight.

 

I haven't followed his career, but I disagree with Ikeke though. That guy simply did not know how to use his height. He bent over at the waist to come down to AA's level instead of punching down and making AA punch UP. Also, doing so made him raise his head, hanging his damned chin out. If he had 'fought tall' then he would have had his chin tucked from looking down. Big difference. Gervor I'll give you though based on what I saw from him recently, though I didn't see AA/Gervor.

 

Too bad this is boxing....

 

If it is too easy, I'd have to go with a shot Taylor cuz AA simply is not THAT good. Not hating here, just going on past performance. It's not like AA's supporters claim he should be listed top 10 p4p.

JT's power is definitely under-rated. When he really sits down on his shots he can bang hard, and I've got a feeling he's going to be doing that tonight. That said, a hit-and-run approach might be more effective against AA.
