Jermain Taylor vs. Arthur Abraham

[The Hammer]

Taylor will look good early, but I expect him to get caught with a hook in the 8th and get put out cold.

Yes, that's what I see happening...

[S.G.]

will be the same as the Taylor/Froch fight except Taylor won't hurt Abraham and Abraham won't rally at the end

Taylor UD

[DLT]

This is a bad fight for AA. He's fighting a guy who he wont get much credit for beating and I think it will be by far his hardest fight. I think AA is a beast and is better than Taylor but styles make fights and AA's style is perfect for Taylor. You have to be a pressure fighter to beat Taylor because he has horrible coordination. AA's style is going to allow Taylor to be at his best. He's basically going to be sitting in front of him with a high guard and being very defensive while Taylor lands a million combos. I think he will win this fight sortof how he won the Winky fight. The difference is that Winky is a Southpaw which Taylor has problems with. AA will have the Winky style but will be orthodox. It just wont work against Taylor. This is a bad move for AA.

He also cant knock Taylor out because he wont put enough pressure on him to do so. He will land some good shots and counters but Taylor will also land alot of blistering ones. I just think his team has made a bad move. I know they see it as a home fight against a big name who's on the downside but styles make fights and this is the wrong wrong wrong style for AA

That's what I see happening as well.

Taylor should have went easy on the booze between his fights.

[The Hammer]

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

If anyone wants to bet PM!

I'll put 100 K on Abraham.

[kenso]

bad fight for jermain to come back on, any other opponent would have been better IMO. its too bad sturm and pavlik wont move up and enter the tourney

[AKATheMack]

AA is too content on fighting in spurts which plays right into JTs hands. I dont think there will be enough pressure put on JT to make him tire. Im goin with Taylor UD.

[Bushbaby]

AA,by ko or ud,Taylor aint getting no ud in Germany!!Funny thing is if Taylor gets out there and puts in work nonstop,he may over power AA early,but if AA survives the early onslaught,Taylor is ko'd!!

[vercingetorix3]

Arthur steamrolls Jermain, who looks good the first four rounds.

[dstew]

Taylor's my hometown guy but I said after the Froch fight that I wouldn't pick him against a tough opponent again until he's proven he can fight for 12 rounds.

AA is NOT a guy you want to get tired on and let your guard down.

I got Abraham by late KO. I hope Taylor pulls it off, but I can't logically pick him as the favorite.
