boxers that throw alot of punches give taylor trouble like pavlik and froch.AA does not have anything near the same work rate as either and taylor is still a good boxer he just needs to work on that damn stamina. i think taylor U.D unless AA can catch him with a bomb
My head says Abraham, but I just have a sneaking feeling Taylor will pinch a decision... which, as it's in Germany, means he will actually have to win fairly comfortably. For the sake of the tourney I hope he does; a loss will be game over for Taylor and his other fights pointless whereas Abraham could still bounce back against Dirrell and Froch.
Like most people, I think Taylor will win the early rounds.
I don't think Taylor's chin is that bad. He's been dropped by two hard punchers when very tired. I don't think AA does enough to wear him down, and I think Taylor will be able to get through the later rounds without getting caught by anything big enough to do him in.
I agree about Taylor's chin. He ate some monster shots before getting KD against Froch, got up, and took more damage while staying on his feet. His defense and stamina need the most work; he is loose with his guard even when it's high, and being tired definitely doesn't help his ability to dodge punches.
I like both guys and I went for Abraham via KO/TKO although would like to see Taylor upset the odds and box his way to a decision. Don't wanna see Taylor take another bad knockout loss but whatever goes down, should be a great fight.
This is a extremely hard fight for Taylor especailly after the one he was invovled in last time out against Froch. I really have my douts if it was a wise move to put him this Tourament.
As I feel there is a good chance he could get ruined for good. Taylor still may have a good chance at pulling a win out the bag, but now that Aruther will not be weight draining himself to make the 160 limt, I feel he will be a real force at 168 and Taylor could feel the wrath of him at his new weight.
