    Do you think all the "different" training he has been doing will do anything for him??

    I voted that he will be winning , start to slow down and gas, but still have enough of a lead to win a decision ( or lose a decision because it's in Germany )

    The probability of him winning the late rounds is very low, but this is one of those fights that can swing both ways, to extreme ends.

    I mean, Abraham has been behind on points for a large part of fights against much lesser boxers than Taylor, so a near-shutout points win, even if a bit far-fetched, is possible.

    However, i think Abraham hits harder and is much better defensively than Froch and Pavlik, who both stopped Taylor, so a knockout win for Abraham is very possible as well.

    I'll go with late stoppage for AA while losing the early rounds. I do hope Taylor performs well. He seems modest and is likeable. Same is true for Abraham of course..

    Abraham does'nt have a high work rate so Taylor maybe able to outwork him without runing out of gas! :good

    The training regime he's been going through doesn't seem to make sense to me. He lost the fight against Froch purely because he couldn't sustain his energy levels across 12, and he decides to counter-act that by doing weights training and cutting down on the conditioning because it's "easy to make weight at 168"? Sounds perversely stupid.

    Nonetheless, I think he has the length to keep AA off him and the skills to outclass him to a UD.

    Losing, gas & then win option. :lol:

    It's quite probable, I think if he gasses he gets knocked out, but maybe against a guy as lethargic as Abraham, he might be able to pace himself.
