Totally agree with this. He can take a lot of good shots.
Yeah I remember early in the 2nd Pavlik fight Taylor took a great right hand right on the button and seemed fine.
Hes been working on it for years! All he does is fight and train yet he cant seem to go 12 rounds.So many people dont think he can at this point.
U have a point. I still have a gut feeling that he is going to win this fight by decision.
Id say its the opposite myself.
I think his chin okay but its more suspect in the late round BECAUSE he gets tired.

JT doens't have stamina problems, he's got fear problems, he rattles too easy, and knowing that he can be clocked out at any point against AA is not much of a comfort. JT's got a good chin though. He's eaten a ton of leather.

What I don't understand is how Andre Ward and Andre Direll made the team, well, actually cause of their promoters/advisors. Andre Ward fought a Miranda after AA obliterated him and he wasn't pretty in there, he held a lot and in the beginning things weren't looking good for him. Direll's only victory is over Oganov. I would think having Bute, Andrade or Sakio Bika, those are more proven fighters.
I think Direll is going to get destroyed and as far as Ward he might get a gift a decision and his holding like that is terrbile to watch.
I would say its because they have been brought up on Showbox and they are looking to cash in soon. Arguably too soon.
Dirrell might beat Froch but i dont seen getting much further.

I agree they dont deserve to be in the super six. I loved the part where Ward says when you step in the ring prepare to do battle...I kept thinking of how he hugged Miranda all night in his last fight..will enjoy seeing him get KOd.
You'd suggest if he KO'd in this it'd be late ish as Taylor runs out of steam.
But Arthur isn't quite the active pressure fighter Froch or Pavlik is.
AA's un predictable so in al reality he could and does, close the show at any moment.
If he doesn't he does seriously risk losing a decision because Taylor is still pretty good imo. Just a but vulnerable when pushed the stretch.
I dont understand y people are falling asleep on taylor. I think if he works on his stamina he can get the decision.

Taylor's stamina problem might be genetic though.
I dont know how to call this fight because on the one hand AA does not seem to punch straight enough to penetrate Taylor's guard, he usually comes around the houses with his punches and i think Taylor's defence might be able to get by AA based on that.
Froch is not great technically but he knows how to throw a basic double jab right hand.
AA does not have a high workrate either so.........
I still think AA COULD!! score a knockout though but i dont know if he will or not.
I got Taylor in this fight,Abraham has never fought anyone as skilled as jermain.
By KO or decision? Taylor can outbox him but I dont think he avoid being hit or wearing down late. Should be an exciting fight.
What do you think?
Abraham usually doesnt get going for a few rounds.
Im going to go with round 4
Horrible prediction. Taylor is always money for the first 6 rounds or so and Abraham is a slow starter.
If Abraham KOs Taylor it's going to be between the 9th and 12th.
