Abraham 72" reach, Taylor 78" reach

Wont matter. Taylor doesn't have the footwork or defense required to avoid the huge Abraham counters.

Abraham is undersized at 168. I too noticed this the other day after seeing them all together. I'm starting to dislike his chances against any of the other fighters in this tourney. He's got the power to be competitive against anyone at 168, it will just be a matter of whether he's got the boxing skills to work his way in and use it against the bigger guys.

20k on Abraham over Taylor if anyone wants it.

This is from Showtime's site: http://sports.sho.com/sswbc/events/abraham-taylor-froch-dirrell-oct-17-2009.html I knew Taylor had a height and reach advantage, but I didn't know it would be that significant. Discuss. Taylor has all the advantages except getting tired in the later rounds. I'm pretty sure hes going to sweep the first 8 rounds

It's tough getting the real numbers. HBO used to have Taylor at 6'1, and Showtime had him at 5'11. They had Froch at 6'0 but they appeared to be even in height. Showtime now has Taylor back at 6'1"... for the Froch fight was the only time I've seen him listed at 5'11". I've always thought he was around 6'0". Suffice it to say that Taylor will be 3"-4" taller and have a 4"-6" reach advantage.

You saying Abraham is 5'9" ? Abraham with 5'10" Raul Marquez... http://punch.freedomblogging.com/files/2008/10/arthurabraham_raulmarquezpc.jpg http://www.fightwriter.com/files/Abraham%20weigh-in%20MarquezNov7.jpg

Abraham is listed at 5'10" but by all accounts is closer to 5'9". Taylor is a tall 6'0", if not 6'1". What is most obvious about the photos of AA with the rest of the Super Six isn't just his overall height though, it's shoulder height. http://www.dbe1.com/images/events/SuperSixBerlin1.jpg See what I'm talking about? Counting out Abraham, they'd probably all be fairly even around 6'0-6'2.

that's my only worry about abraham. i pick him to win the super six based on skills , power and chin. however when i saw their photo shoot and saw him with the other 5 guys i realized how short arthur is compared to the others. abraham is not what he is listed and it seems like all the others are what they are listed or taller.

I've seen it as low as 75. I usually find that different sites have different measurements. Still, he's going to have a significant advantage. He must stay on the outside and use his superior hand speed, jab, and step off to the side and turn Abraham after he's done throwing. Abraham is most effective when he unleashes from his shell with powerful counter punchers. Staying outside will lessen his chances of getting hit. Also, JT should try and not get suckered in when Abraham lays on the ropes; if he starts trying to load up, he might get caught there as well.

I hope Jermain can pull this off...haven't seen much Abraham except for the Miranda fights... I think Jermain cudda gave anyone trouble when his jab was working...I don't know wtf happened to it... Even if Jermain loses...I hope its competitive at least... If Abraham stops him I think he's done...
