Abraham Taylor

[Walt Liquor]

Exactly. Taylor has one legitimate KO on his record. To Kelly Pavlik. In the rematch he took his right hands again. In the Froch fight, he took the power of the Cobra. It was his own stamina that beat him.

But somehow a reputation has built that Taylor is weak-chinned. Come on people.

I'm not saying Taylor has an iron chin, but he's not made of brittle.

It's not that Jammer, it's the flaws in his style.

To be honest I'm more worried about the judges. I hope they are fairly selected.

I don't think that judges will play a big role in the whole tourney - IMO, I think that SHO will have the last say on them...so robberies shouldn't be an issue. But still I can already imagine that when we'll have a close fight and it goes to the hometown fighter, the usual suspects on this site will scream robbery...

Yeah I get you. I've always complained about those flaws too, backing up in straight lines. Very weak defence, hands either side of head allowing straight punches down the centre.

And I can't argue against you that if Jermain can't fix these problems then it doesn't bode well for him.

But this flawed fighter has beaten some great fighters. Is Abraham intelligent enough to capitalise on those mistakes? I dunno. I think Taylor will be the smarter fighter on the night and I expect a good performance.

I'm a big Taylor fan and won't give up on him, despite all his defensive, stamina, and mental flaws. I realize the fact the he's the under dog in this fight and the cards are against him, but I'll be backing him the whole way through.

I just don't wanna see him crumpled up in the corner again.
