Arthur Abraham Plans To Conquer The "Super Six"

Doesn't anybody believe in Taylor as a favorite?

He has failed us too many times. I mean his stamina has failed too many times

I want to see him in an actual SMW fight before I make any predictions. The title makes AA sound like Vic, all the dude said was I want to win, where did conquering come into play lol.

I'm a Taylor fan, and I gotta say no. Due to recent fights and the fact he has to fight both Abraham and Kessler, he may get to the semis but not further.

I got JT......I'm not buyin' into the fact that AA will KO JT .......AA doesnt come forward or does he have the height that Froch and Pav have......he's a short dude who throws like 10-20 punches per round.......styles make fights and AA will not be able to make JT fight when he doesnt want to like Froch, Pav and Winky did......JT won't win the tourney because its not likely he beats Kessler or Froch in a rematch.....but I do see JT scoring the first upset in this tourney.......styles make fights!!!

AA doesnt have the best gas tank either!!!

Both Taylor and AA will not be in the final four.

Even as a Taylor fan I gotta say no. I give him a chance but he doesn't have a good history against punchers, especially not those who carry their power late into the fight.

I'm not completely sold on the hype behind Abraham though. His best win was Miranda and it took him 16 rounds to do that decisively, with Pavlik arguably softening him up in the mean time. But against Taylor, all you need is to take the air out of him in the second half of the fight and then land something late.

Style wise it's a terrible fight for Taylor.

Former IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham makes his super middleweight debut on October 17 against Jermain Taylor in Germany. Their fight will be part of the first round of bouts for Showtime's "Super Six" tournament. During a Thursday meeting with the press in Berlin, Germany, Abraham promised to not only beat Taylor but to eliminate all of the other participants of the tournament. [details]

AA is smallish compared to the others.

Something to add to this press even today at the "O2 World":

Taylor got in with an audio message, saying to dominate Abraham with his jab from the very first round and that he loves to travel to his opponents backyard to fight him.

Abraham's coach said that its of big importance to start with a win to get the momentum going and when his protege does so, he can win it all - else it's gonna be very hard to accomplish it. Abraham is all about competitiveness - that's why he's in this tourney with him the first to agree to fight in it.

Btw, I got info that Abraham has all his eyes on Kessler - it's like a psycho fight already. In the last weeks, Abraham dictated the time of Kessler's training in the gym. It's said that Abraham trained in the early afternoon so Kessler had to train there in the evening b/c both don't want to see each other in the gym. In addition, the whole story with Kessler joining SE motivates Abraham to do bigger and better things, training harder.

When you remember the short video docu on SE's homepage where Kessler wanted to joke with AA, AA wouldn't want to get into it but steering at Kessler - You see, he wants to **** him up badly.

Abraham finally got the motivation within his camp he every wanted - it's very likely, we'll see the best of Abraham in this tourney...
