Jermain Taylor: "As long as I don't get tired, I'm going to win the fight".

It's bigger than that.

 

"As long as i'm Paul Williams i can beat Kelly Pavlik!"

 

And when has Taylor ever been able to avoid punches?

 

When he's not tired.

 

He setting us up for another let down? At least he is admitting his weakness and not sweeping it under the rug of denial. I hope the change of scenery for training works. Though I'd feel bad for him if he wins cuz Kelly would just come in at the end and do what he did before.

 

Ignore list him. I have. :yep

 

Even when JT isnt tired he still takes punches.

 

Jermain is just a case of self inflicted stress. He needs Vitali to give him some lessons in 'relaxed in the ring'.

 

This is the true essence of ignorance.

 

I dont understand this stamina crap. All fighter are absolutely tired after 12 rounds of world class championship boxing.

If the other guy is able to fight through the pain of a sore and tired body than thats JT's problem.

People are acting like he has some disability which we should take account of if gets KOed between rounds 7 and 12..

 

I always thought Abraham was white. Oh well.

Taylor will school him

 

Taylor's stamina problem is directly related to him being too tense in the ring. That was also why DLH had crap stamina.

Contrast it with smooth, relaxed guys like Leonard, Monzon, and Sanchez who had great stamina.

 

Fast people wear out quicker/differently. When I was young I could run a 100 yard dash flat out. Not fast but flat out. I couldn't believe it when I heard world class athletes talking about 'pacing' themselves in a 100 yard race. After years of hearing them say it, I guess I'm gonna have to take their word for it.

 

I am not denying Taylor may have a body pre-disposed to explosive activities like Sprinting but I just dont see why some people imply that we should have some kind of sympathy for him if he tires late in to a fight.

Why should that tarnish the other guys victory? Some boxer hit hard other a faster and others have granite chins. No one ever says in a negative way that Maywether only beat Marquez because Marques has a slow reflexes issue.

 

Its good to see that JT has acknowledged he has a stamina issue, and he also said he trained alot harder for this fight. He really seems motivated to win. I give him a good chance of winning if he can avoid AA´s biggest punches.
