King Arthur vs. Bad Intentions

There'll be no gift decisions for Taylor in Germany, but if it's the same judges as Abraham-Miranda 1, you couldn't say the same about Abraham.

 

that was one ugly fight to be honest

 

The judging was ok there.The ref was bad.

 

as was miranda's dick punching. too many deductions sure but that guy must have gotten some good frequent flyer miles cause he spent a lot of time going south of the border

 

Its 50/50 for me.

Im leaning slightly towards Taylor as he will rack up rounds because of Abraham's relative inactivity.

Abraham only wins by KO

 

It was an ugly fight but was also one of the worst examples of home town judging and refereeing I've ever seen.

 

Miranda just fell apart mentally. Imagine if that was Kessler, Pavlik, Bute, Froch, et, and they had AA hurt that bad:yikes

 

Agreed.

It was his fault starting with the intentional headbutt and low blows.

 

Abraham would have won it according to the judges even without all the points deductions from Miranda. Both the ref and judges were pretty bad in my book.

 

I can't think of a worse match up for Taylor in the tournament. I think a Froch rematch would even be more favorable for him. Abraham is quite the turtle, patiently shelling up and letting his opponent gas before springing on them. I have a feeling the fast starting Taylor willl play right into his hands.

 

By 1 point or 2.The fight was closed>>no robbery.

 

I pick Taylor by decision! but, **** never count out AA`s power.. anything can happend!

 

Whoops, i voted Taylor KO/TKO, i thought it was Abraham at first cause he really deserves to be mentioned first anyways...

But as far as my prediction goes, Abraham will KO or a TKO Taylor in the late rounds. Abraham has good counter punching skills, a sick uppercut, power, and very strong chin. What more you need? : D

But rly, TBH im not to keen on German Boxing/Promoters, i dont like it as i do the Russians / E. Euros and watching them, but Abraham is a tough dude from Armenia and no way i think Taylor would trouble him power wise or even boxing wise.

Abraham is with a experienced trainer, while Taylor is in the news for being drunk / what not.

Abraham is a true Eastern European in a German background(mainly for money making purposes)

I believe King Arthur will bring his power up and possibly be even more devastating as he was in the Miranda Rematch at 166 pounds.

King Arthur will start the DM route and start out slow, maybe losing 3 of the early 4 rounds to Taylor, but they will be really close and arguable. Abraham will pick up the pace and tire Taylor out with his power punches as a semi exhausted Taylor(who has stamina problems) will try to counter to no avail while Abraham will finnaly finish him in the 10th, 11th, or 12th round.

Im not counting Taylor out tho, because im sure he has plans up his sleeve especially from Ozel Nelson, to just calmly outbox and out perform Abraham, which he is so capable of doing, im not diminishing his skills at all.

This fight all depends on what kinda Taylor will show up.

Im picking Abraham by TKO, but im not 100% sure and im not confident enough to bet on it either.

This fight is very interesting.

Either Abraham TKO late/MD or Taylor points.

 

I think Arthur Abraham is very overrated. He a good fighter with a hard punch, but not a world class fighter, his defense is too sloppy. He is actually one of the boxers in the Super Six who went 12 rounds (full fight) the most times.

Here is the stats on how many times the boxers in Super six went 12 rounds:

Abraham : 6 times in 30 fights
Taylor: 9 times in 28 fights ( against world class opponents )
Froch: 3 times in 25 fights
Kessler: 4 times in 42 fights
Ward: 2 times in 20 fights
Dirrell: 0 times in 18 fights

For me this stats says that allthough Abraham is a hard puncher, we must not overrate his knockout power. Alot of less talented fighters already went 12 rounds with him, and now he went up to SMW and his power will be less effective i think and his flaws in defence will be punished harder.

 

I went for a Taylor decision but wouldn't be surprised to see Arthur win. This is a 50/50 fight in my opinion.
