WHO WILL WIN : Jermain Taylor vs Arthur Abraham

You think Taylor will get a gift decision over Abraham in Germany? :think

 

Interesting. Do Jermain Taylor's powers of bad decisionss translate even into a foreign land like Germany? Hmmm, only time will tell. :think

 

All I know is that one does not use logic, nor analytical prowess, to determine the out come of a Jermain Taylor fight.:bart

 

I'm more and more confident of my pick in this. Abraham late stoppage. Key to the fight is this - Taylor will gas late as he pretty much always does. He doesn't always lose, but he always gasses. The reason he lost to Pavlik and Froch is not that they made him gas (he does that to himself) but they were able to take advantage when he did. Pavlik in the first fight and Froch knocked him out, Pavlik in the second fight won the last half of the fight.

Abraham is happy to sit tight early on (Froch and Pavlik both got themselves in trouble trying to trade with Taylor when he was strongest), he is heavy handed, patient, accurate and comes on strong late. If you were trying to create a fighter with the express purpose of knocking out Jermaine Taylor, you wouldn't create Kelly Pavlik or Carl Froch, you would make Arthur Abraham :good

 

This is definitely going to be KIng Abraham's most difficult test thus far... Taylor is leagues ahead of everyone on AA's resume, but I still feel a AA victory here is very possible, probably by stoppage. Abraham has been draining himself for years at MW, he is going to be much stronger that Night I believe. I really cannot wait for this fight, it's going to be one of my favorite matchups in the SMW Tourney.

 

Abrahams going to knock him out.

 

Thats what I think will happen but I'm not putting any money on it at this point. Abraham is one tough little dude

 

AA doesn't need JT to run out of gas to beat him. If JT even seems to be leading in the fight, AA always comes back. AA needs the early rounds to study his opponent, and then he goes to town on them.

 

Abraham by UD. I'm rooting for Taylor, but I don't think he'll pull it off.

 

AA by decisionatsch

The only way Abraham would win a decision is if he scored at least 3 knock downs while getting thoroughly outboxed for most of the rounds. This is a guy who lost 4-5 rounds to LuJaun ****ing Simon!

 

On paper I'd say Taylor, but on paper Taylor beats Froch....... so......

 

AA in round 11 KO. Taylor will dominate early but will fade after round 7. I hate to say this because I really like Jermain, but if he can't get rid of the other guy early, he is toast. Especially against any of these guys.

 

This is a non title fight. How are the judges and ref being picked? Anyone know?

 

Froch and Pavlik both bring the fight too you. Abraham will to some degree IF you can't get his respect like Marquez. Hit him hard and he will shell up with his rope-a-dope routine. Taylor has shown he is more than willing to go into slow down mode if he has the chance. This fight could be quite boring. I see Taylor doing enough to win a round and then coasting waiting for Abraham's 30 seconds of glory at the end of the round.
