No way will he win a decision in Germany against Arthur. Eddie Chambers gave Dimitrinko a one sided schooling complete with two Kd's and a judge still scored it a draw. And how can we forget fights like Williams Vs. Airich or Abraham Vs. Miranda 1. Jermain can beat Arthur senseless left and right for 12 rounds and the Judges will have Arthur winning by a shut out. A KO is a must for Jermain.
To be safe he might want to KO the ref first, then the judges, timekeeper and promoter, lastly, try to take out abraham.
Chambers got his deserved win, didn't he? EWhat is the problem with one judge being blind if two others score it correctly? There have been bad decisions in Germany, yes, but not worse than in the US or elsewhere. This myth "every foreign fighter in Germany gets robbed" is just that, a myth. Dariusz Michelczewski's unbeaten record and his chance to beat Marciano' record was ruined by a loss against Gomez in Germany. Maske's last fight in his regular career was a loss against Hill in Germany. Both fights were somehwat close, Maske actually landed 70 more punches against Hill and still lost. If Taylor outboxes AA, he will get his win.
Ummmm no, actually I favor Abraham to beat him and Im rooting for Arthur. Im just pointing out the fact Taylor will probably need a ko to win.
Showtime has a lot riding on this tournament. If people get through based on dodgy decisions, then it will make a farce of the entire thing and all fighters will suffer for it. Showtime will make sure things are above board for all fighters, I'm sure.
aaah o.k I was joking anyway. Taylor is a nice guy but after two brutal K.O to fight once again with a Bad Ass like Abraham will be very tough. I don't share the opinion that he can just outwork Abraham for a decision. AA will hide for the first couple of rounds behind his guard picking well his shots and will explode after the 6. Sometimes I find his stile a bit boring when he is just waiting.
1. The one judge that scored it a draw was an englishmen 2. Williams vs. Airich was a disgrace and the promoter was sacked by the BDB if I remember correctly 3. Abraham vs. Miranda was controversial but no robbery. Why don“t you speak about the numberous robberies in the US. Germany is not better or worse than most countries in the world concerning hometown decisions...
Taylor will need a KO because, from round 4 on, he’ll be getting hit and hurt with alarming regularity. Jermain will be getting the third KO loss of his career in October.
The OP is correct. The German scoring is very biased. Having said that, this fight will NOT go the distance, as AA will KO JT once JT lets his guard down (somewhere around round 5 or 6).
Abraham is knocking JT out. AA hits harder than Froch and is MUCH more accurate. JT will win the first coiuple of rounds, AA will explode and JT will get rattled.
exactly.. this isnt just one fight, this is numerous fights and a tournament being planned ahead 2-3 years, with a lot of $$$$$ involved. Furthermore there are 4 tv stations backing the whole thing and as you said, one or 2 dodgy decisions and this whole thing, will lose everything it was meant to be. with these fighters,we are bound to have some close fights, where people have a diference if opinion, but with the money being thrown into this event, it cant afford a robbery.
Actually, Taylor has every chance of getting the verdict in a close fight with Abraham in Germany. As if there would be a blatant robbery with the whole world watching.....
