Arthur Abraham vs. Jermain Taylor @ 168

[dstew]

I'm probably one of the few who gives Taylor a chance in this fight. Yes AA is strong but he's not a pressure fighter and Taylor's chin is OK as long as he's not gassed and taking shot after unnecessary shot.

Plus AA looked like garbage in his last fight and was stunned by a guy who is hardly a big puncher. Not to mention AA has trouble with taller fighters and JT is taller and longer and likes to keep the fight at the end of his jab.

I'd like to see this fight happen, but not before JT gets a decent tune-up win under his belt. The guy is overdue for a soft touch more than anyone in the sport. Fighting Pavlik, Lacy, and Froch back to back is already extreme; tacking Abraham to the end of that list would be ridiculous.

AA owns him. Taylor is done.

At 168 Abraham is gonna be a beast, he'd knock Taylor out

Let's not forget what Hopkins did to Pavlik after everyone thought he was shot.
I'd love to see JT upset this one too.. I mean 2 of his losses he knocked his opponent down and could've easily ended it, but he ran out of gas, also Pavlik II was a draw on my cards tbh could have gone either way. So if he can keep up the pace for 12 rounds this time and fight AA with a solid gameplan, a JT comeback isn't impossible.

JT is not done. It is ridiculous how quickly people put a guy down and to such an extent, after a loss.

He was winning on the cards and ******ly got KO'd aswell.

Abraham is not as tall, doesn't have the reach, isn't as busy, and not the same kind of pressure fighter that would tire Jermain to the same extent.

I think Jermains not ****** to not be working on his stamina, he must after all be livid with himself for getting so far and losing for that reason, again. Ok he might only improve his stamina a bit, but it's enough for Abraham.

Very interesting match up, all comes down to Abrahams tactics on the night. I give the slight edge to Jermain on points for the reasons outlined. Could change my mind though.

[The Hammer]

I think Abraham will likely knock him out, but I suppose Taylor has a chance of winning a decision.

Jermain has excellent boxing skills, but will he be mentally the same after two stoppage losses?

[screwhead1]

i'm going to say that taylor beats AA up...but AA knocks his 24 hour ass out...the boy never closes...

[Gorgeous George]

im going to say taylor wins by unaminous decision!

[Hayehammer]

I am going with taylor here! If he knows that this is his last chance he will winn a pretty easy fight!
