    Sup man.

    I'm pretty sure we've talked about this before, but do you think Taylor didn't deserve at least one of those two wins vs B-Hop?

    What's up C. No Taylor never beat Hop. He never took Hop's title, and he barely hit the man in 2 fights, and that is why I never saw JT as the MW champion, which is why I never recognized Pav as MW champion. Dibella held the MW titles:lol:

    Don't know man, they were both close fights imo. And I can't say Bernard was impressive in the first half of the first fight, generally he did let some rounds go in his fights with Taylor. But yeah I guess one could make a case that the judges could have given Hop both fights, as they gave Taylor both fights, in the sense that the bouts were close...

    The AA that has fought the last few fights has not been impressive because of his constant gassing. AA better hope that this happened because of making the weight, and not for other reasons.

    It probably was the reason. But if it wasn't, he will struggle with Taylor and could very well lose as Taylor jabs him to death and drops right hands.

    On the other hand, if AA can get back his normal stamina, I think he is likely to take Taylor out. Whatever else AA is or is not, he is strong, fast and a brutal puncher. At some point he is likely to catch Taylor and that could spell doom for JT.

    Should be a very interesting fight.

    Someone that "constantly" gases can't carry KO power all the way to the 10th as he proved yet again he can in his last fight.

    True, but man he has looked awful. It's painful to watch and I like AA.

    I thought he looked good man. He looked awful in the fight before it but in his last fight he didn't look bad at all. Abraham is usually a slow starter, that's very normal for him, usually he loses early rounds then starts to figure his opponent out and unload. When you carry power all the way to the 10th of a 12 round fight it's dangerous. We have to see how he does at SMW, sometimes when you're forced to move up you either end up ruined or better, one of the two and the Jermain Taylor fight is a perfect test. I like both guys here so whoever wins I'll be pissed as hell, it's one of those fights where I hope it's a decision and not a brutal KO.

    That's true, I forgot AA starts slow. Good point. :good

    the JT-AA fight could be a TERRIFIC fight. Very excited about this fight and let's hope both fighters come out well even if one gets the "L."

    :rofl


    to be honest i see AA style being akward for JT. he'll be fustrated. and can see him being caught by a counter left hook in about the 4th or 5th round and going down . thats the wayt i see . TBH i pick kessler to win but if him and AA go head up i see it 50/50. based on style's . isee ward ward and Dirrel less engaing styles being more of a bad style matchup for AA and would result in him losing a ud

    Abraham has speed whenever he uses it.
