    Arthur Abraham is not as good as people think he is. True he has power, but that defense looks good because of the opponents he's been fighting. He's either going to have to let his hands go or he'll lose. There is no way he can go thru this tourney and win with that kind of style. I think the fight goes to the scorecard regardless who wins.

      Ahh, well then my bad. I just remember him looking like a pirate after the fight.

        I really Hope Jermain does well in this tournament. He always seems to come so close, and yet so far. Almost KO'd Pavlik in two rounds, was 15 seconds from the SMW title. To me, it rings true what was said on "Legendary Nights: Foreman vs. Moorer" about the way Michael fought that night:

        "The irony of this fight is both simple and complex. Ahead on all judges cards by a large margin, all Michael Moorer had to do was stay away. Instead, he fought like a champion."

        That describes Jermain accurately, I think.

          Training harder than ever won't help - if anything he over-trained against Froch. He needs to train more intelligently, not harder.

            That's a great summary of the difference between a nuthugger/hater and a genuine boxing fan.

              I saw Jermain at the gym a few days ago. He looks to be in good shape. He is alot shorter in person though haha.

              It's weird seeing someone as famous as Jermain like standing right there in front of you. I mean, I see Big George every day and I guess it isn't as big a deal anymore. I wish Jermain the best of luck, but I picked Abraham to win the Super 6.

                This fight is going to be a cracker I think. AA is working out very hard as well.
                I think in his fight with Froch he said he actually changes his diet for the first time and felt that his stamina wouldn't be an issue. I don't think his fading towards the end of the fight has to do with his training. I think it has to do with the way he is in the ring. He's tense for all 12 rounds. If he learned how to relax like a Toney he could be a dominant boxer. Toney probably doesn't even train but still makes it an ugly 12 rounds.

                  I would like Jermain to win the tournament! He's had alot of bad luck in his career and if he won this he would prove alot of people wrong. Jermain has so much talent!

                    Though i`m not a fan of JT, and think B-Hop was robbed in the fights with him, I guess Taylor can beat Abraham! He shows great skills while the "tank is full". He was very close to knocking out Froch...

                    I`m ready to make a small bet on it

Taylor is going through a grueling 10-week training camp at former heavyweight champion George Foreman's gym in Houston, Texas, the George Foreman Youth Center. [details]
