    It's kinda funny that you mentioned Foreman, because now JT is training in his gym in Houston.

    Abraham is kind of a wild card. His power at 160 was impressive, but 160 hasn't had much talent of the past year or two. He did KO Edison Miranda at 166, but I'm pretty sure anybody with atleast decent KO power could stop Miranda these days.

    I think a lot of folks are picking Abraham to win via KO while down on the cards. Most give JT his props and say that he can outbox anyone the first six rounds, but after that things get hazy. After six, in the past, JT gets tired, his hands are low, and sometimes he's just buying time for himself. It is during this time most people are predicting he'll get stopped.

      LoL! I had no idea JT was training in Big George's gym. That's strange! Maybe it will help him!

        Yeah, another guy on here from Little Rock is a big JT fan too and he posted a video of him training at his sports complex in Little Rock called DI. The video was from early August but he looked like he shed some of the weight he had at the pressers.

        I think in Houston he's working on his ligs to carry his energy, and he's lifting for the first time. He's completely overhauled his training, I'm hoping it works, but I don't wanna get my hopes up.

          JT also needs some damn discipline! He admitted that he sometimes cuts corners in training, eats fast food, etc. when he knows he should be training like his life depended on it. I'm like you... I hope he corrects some of this. I know of no other fighter who is more respectful, and a better ambassador for the sport than young Taylor. I wish him nothing but the best.

            Big article in the DemGaz last week, I made a thread about it on here if you want to do a search.

            Good to see someone else here representing LR.

            Although I have SERIOUS questions about your username.

              I think Taylor wins this fight if he can just keep his head in it the last few rounds, a problem he has had his whole title fight career.

                Can Taylor win a decision in Germany? I don't want to sound like I think Europe is biased but AA is extremely loved over there, so I think Taylor would have to put on a virtuoso performance if he plans on winning a decision there.

                  Some countries in Europe can have very biased officiating, sadly.

                  Obviously any robbery is a terrible thing, but it would be even worse here because it would affect the entire tournament, not just one fight.

                    LoL PIG SOOIE! My username is simple. I'm not one to refuse to give boxers the credit they deserve. I'll tell you the truth.. I used to always want to see Floyd lose. I bet on Gatti (because of the odds), I bet on Zab (because I always thought Zab's speed might give Floyd problems), I bet on Hatton (Because he really impressed me with his win over Tszyu).. Once you lose enough money betting against somebody, you learn to quit making that same damn mistake. I realized that Floyd was a genius of a fighter and he has gained my respect.

                      I'm curious to see how Abraham does in this tournament and to see if he can carry his power up to SMW
