    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.
    i think they are on consecutively mate

      Have we even seen any workout/sparring footage from the Super Six guys? I'd be interested to see how they look, because right now this seems like one of the most pick 'em matches on the cards.

      On one hand I'd pick Taylor to outwork Abraham to a decision, but at the same time I've been converted to the goodness of Abraham and reckon he could shockingly stop what remains of Taylor.

      Never thought I'd say it, but I think King Arthur is the TRUTH.

        Taylor does not have a chance in Germany.

        AA by knock out in the 8th.

        This should be Taylor's last fight.

        Time to retire Taylor.

          pretty much since the fight was announced I had a feeling that Taylor would outpoint Abraham and win a U.D

          hopefully I'm wrong, I'm rooting for a Froch vs Abraham final

            I can understand why Taylor would be such an underdog in this fight but as it comes closer I think Taylor will win a decision against Abraham.

            The only problem is Taylor's stamina, but i don't see Abraham pressuring Taylor like Pavlik an Froch did. Abraham doesn't throw enough punches to call him a pressure fighter, he throws hard yeah, but not a lot of punches he throws good combinations but not enough to get Taylor tired.

            I see Taylor winning a decision in this fight.
            No, Taylor can't win. It is impossible. Taylor has been damaged goods for a while, it's like Judah still getting big fights vs Mosley or Cotto and people saying "as it gets closer, do you think Judah can win?" Of course not, he's damaged goods too.
            Boxing is not like Tennis or even other fight sports with less rounds. Once you lose convincingly, you rarely become the same, ever. Your body never truly heals. Someone who gets KTFO will forever after be easier to KO. I'm not making this up.

              I dont have anything against taylor but I'm not that big of fan of his. The first time I saw him fight was against Pavlik where he got ko'd. Then the rematch he lost decisively, did good against Lacy but then again gets knocked out this time by Froch. hes lost 3 out of the 4 fights of seen him, if I saw him coming up I might be a bigger fan. Anyways I still got Abraham by KO.

                He will have his moments early but Abraham can hurt him with his shots. It will be a good close fight but let's not forget the fight is in BERLIN GERMANY..
