    Abraham vs Taylor: Jermain Says "I Will Not Surrender"

    The two-time former heavyweight champion George Foreman is picking Jermain Taylor to upset Arthur Abraham on October 17 at the o2 World Arena in Berlin, Germany. Besides training with Ozell Nelson, Taylor did a lot of work at Foreman's Youth Center in Houston, Texas. He said Foreman has picked him to overcome Abraham in the first round of Showtime's Super Six tournament. [details]

    George should teach him a thing or two about his post-fight career. Jermain Taylor grills, anyone?

    Anyways, I think Jermain gets knocked out honestly. He should be training his chin.

      I'm starting to think AA is too undersized for 168. He looks midget-like next to the rest of them. I'm picking him to beat Taylor, but only because I think Taylor will run out of gas like he always does.

        thats one of the reasons why I see JT takin' this one......plus pressure busts pipes and AA is no pressure fighter like Pavlik or Froch......the pressure those big tall dudes put on JT broke him in those fights......but AA is not that type of animal and he's kinda TAYLOR made for JT imo!! .......if he doesnt gas then he'll beat AA EASILY!!!

          I hope he can pull this off.

          No matter what, I'm gonna root for JT until the very end.

            I'm only picking AA to win because Taylor won't be able to knock AA out and I'm not sure Taylor can win a decision in a country that actually thinks Abraham is royalty. Expect Taylor to look surprisingly fast and box circles around him.

              Get ready to be robbed Jermain, it's ****ing Germany and it's AA. You are getting ****ed if it gets to the cards. And trust me the last thing you need to worry about is the German crowd, it's always like a library there.

                Height does not equal size.

                He's just as strong physically as anybody else.

                  Taylor will stomp all over Queen Abraham.

                    That would be a fair comment if the judges and ref were German or Armenian, but AFAIK they will be international, and neutral - or do you know differently? If they are international and from neutral countries, which they certainly should be, and my understanding is that they will be, then no one can make any excuses about hometown decisions.
