Will Jermain Taylor KO Abraham?

Abraham's chin has shown more faults than most people would like to believe, especially in his recent fights.

He took some hellacious shots in the first Miranda fight though. Maybe that fight changed him. Or maybe struggling to make weight had an effect on his jaw.

I'm not counting on a Taylor knockout, but I wouldn't rule it out completely either. Nobody thought he would put Froch on the canvas...

Abraham's chin will be tested more in this fight than any fight he's had since Miranda I, when his jaw was hanging halfway off and a waterfall of blood was pouring from his mouth.

I like Abraham but i think Taylor will win and i'm rooting for Taylor.

Abraham will walk through taylor. It will look like Clottey vs Cotto, but there will be a mid round to late stoppage.

no he won't knock him out.

10K says he doesn't.

JT won't KO AA, AA is a solid guy and without having to worry too much about making weight he shouldn't be fatigued or weary when he enters the ring.

AA can take a punch and imo has a good set of whiskers on him. JT has some pop when he lands as he showed by flooring froch but i dont think he'll floor AA let alone KO him.

If Miranda couldn't ko Abraham with a broken jaw, then what makes anyone think Taylor could? The dude fought and won with a broken jaw. He has shown that his jaw will break before anyone can ko him. Thats a tough chin there.

If Lajuan Simon and Mahir Oral had Abraham hurt, then for sure Taylor can do the same. Only thing that point against it is that Arthur struggled quite a bit with the weight for those fights and it's unknown how much that might have affected hs punchresistance.

Still non-puncher Lajuan Simon caught Abraham with a brilliant left hook that turned Abraham's legs to jelly. That sight must have been nice to see for Taylor fans.

No he will not. JT has good power, but his finishing skills are woeful. Combine that with the fact that Abraham covers up well, and it's going to be very hard for JT to stop him.

He can hurt him though.

I believe him getting hurt by Simon was the result of Abraham cutting a lot of weight. But as Bat said, Simon isn't a puncher at all.
