    Terrible to deal with Abraham who lets you work with no real effect and then comes back.
    That's the problem, will he let Taylor work for too long? 7-8 rounds is all either of them need to win convincingly.

    And when Abraham comes out of his shell to counter or to fight back, will Taylor even be there. Let's not forget Taylor does have the stamina jab, jab, right, and throw combinations, and get out of harms way for at least 8 rounds and that's all he needs to win. Froch rarely found him in the first 7 rounds.

      Anyone who thinks that AA won't put pressure on Taylor toward the end of the fight is being overly optimistic.

      If he feels he is down on the cards, he will obviously force the action toward the end of the fight. We saw this in the first fight w/Miranda. It's the natural reaction of a champion level fighter to try to catch up if he thinks he's behind. Abraham is no different. Especially with the knowledge that Taylor is vulnerable late in fights.

      If AA thinks he needs a knockout to win, he will go for the knockout. Anyone who doubts this is kidding themselves.

        I believe so.After about 3 rounds Abraham will get in his groove.

        I don't think Taylor altough will be up on points will do any damage.Too many rounds to not get caught.
        Homecooking is not out of the question in different ways.
        Froch and Abraham are completely different.Abraham is much better at placing his shots and he carries his power all thre 12

            im guna stick with abraham
            he is as tough as nails and gets stronger as the fight goes on whereas taylor gets considerably weaker
            JT will win plenty of rounds but should tire beating the **** out of abrahams gloves

              I think that although Abraham is a better all-around fighter than Froch and has more power than Froch. Realize that Froch is a hell of a pressure fighter and he puts a lot more pressure than Abraham. Froch wasn't even able to put pressure on Taylor as hard as he tried because he couldn't even find him until Taylor ran out of gas in the latter rounds.

              I like both of them, this will be an exciting fight we all know Abraham and Taylor have rarely been in dull fights. They will trade at some point but that's what Taylor can't do with a big puncher like Abraham. Taylor will need his A-class defense in this fight.

                      This fight is like 3 weeks away isn't it? Oct 17.

                      And isn't Dirrell-Froch also in October 17? Will one be in the afternoon and the other one in the night? I want to see both of them live.
