Jermain Taylor vs. Arthur Abraham

[Slick561]

i mean taylor in many of his fights just cant close it out froch was beaten and look what happend that could have been taylor shining

[arargh]

TAYLOR will destroy this guy.I got JT by KO in 5 rounds!

If anyone wants to bet PM!

taylor couldnt even beat froch, how do you expect him to beat abraham never mind destroy him?

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.

It's a descent point. I think fatigue in combination with taking those big punches definitely has an effect. Abraham isn't a pressure fighter and has a low punch output so fatigue should be less of an issue in this fight. However, I still feel that he will get taken out in the later rounds. If he does survive all 12 rounds then he should win the fight.

To add onto Taylor's obstacles in this fight, Abraham is a straight puncher and Taylor doesn't defend well against shots straight down the pipe. His guard is too loose and he lacks quality head movement.

Wright's straight punches got through, Pavlik's straight punches got through, hell even Froch and Lacy's straight punches got through when they bothered to throw them.

Again, I'm a huge Taylor supporter but his obstacles in beating Abraham are many.

No, I'm not wrong.

Yes, a few Froch's looping shots landed toward the end of the fight and stunned Taylor. But his most effective shots were the ones straight through Taylor's guard. Watch it again. Even the damn commentators notice it.

It's a widespread misconception that Abraham throughs wide shots, largely because of how he finished Miranda. But watch the Oral fight. For the most part his punches are as straight as they come.

The possibility of Taylor outboxing Abraham is high, he just needs to improve his defense and stamina. But if Taylor fights Abraham like he did against Froch, he's getting knocked out.

I think Taylor will beat Abraham even though a win from Arthur wouldn't suprise me. Taylor will be able to fight at Abraham's pace in my view.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

Imo Taylor i think will win here, i saw AA fight recently vs a bum well not really but a c class fighter and he put this guy down about 5 times, but was outboxed for large periods. This guy aint in Taylors league skill wise yet he can out box AA? if Taylor can work on his stamina he can do it, i don't think his chin is bad Froch hit him with a MONSTER shot!

[D-MiZe]

Abraham by decision.
