Close round, a couple flurries by AA, but Taylor peppering jabs. Taylor needs to unload the right hand. They keep talking about Taylor fading, but AA looks winded.
abraham again..taylor isnt mixing it up so it is allowing abraham to fight in his confort zone. AA is a smart fighter, but taylor isnt testing him. his tactics havent changed since round 1. taylor needs a KO already in my books.
Abraham is roughing Taylor up at the 1 min mark in round 10. Taylor taking the power punches but how much longer is he going to? Abraham is clearly dominating and controlling the ring and pace. Arthur knows really well when to cover up and use his turtle shell defence and his plan is out working Taylors. Round 1: 10-9 Taylor Round 2: 10-9 Taylor Round 3: 10-9 Abraham Round 4: 10-9 Taylor Round 5: 10-9 Abraham Round 6: 10-9 Abraham Round 7: 10-8 Abraham Round 8: 10-9 Abraham Round 9: 10-9 Abraham Round 10: 10-9 Abraham 98-94 Arthur so far imo
Taylor just hasn't been able to adjust at all. He's throwing his punches way too straight all fight, and they just get blocked. Taylor needs a KO at this point, which is pretty much impossible for him.
Taylor - 10-9 Arthur - 10-9 Arthur - 10-9 Taylor - 10-9 Arthur - 10-9 Arthur - 10-8 Arthur - 10-9 Taylor - 10-9 Arthur - 10-9 Arthur - 10-9 Close round, will probably give it to Arthur. It just seems to me that Taylor has no offense. He can't go to the body in fear of losing another point, and he can't hit Arthur because he is ALWAYS in defense mode until he wants to start throwing and then he just starts picking apart Taylor, he really is a great fighter, but has a major advantage in Germany, and against someone like Taylor who hits a little low sometimes.
