Arthur Abraham-Jermain Taylor Conference Call Quotes

[Shadows]

Would have been ****in horrible to be at that for a Taylor fan. Yeah I like to be sober for fights with my fave fighters lol

I heard they, the Frochites, had a "Who are ya?" chant going.

I would've just been "**** me", and off to the bar to lose all my money.

Hate those ****ing football chants, especially when they're carried into boxing. I wouldn't have liked that at all...

That may be true, but remember we've heard the same thing from Kelly Pavlik in the past, and Jermain went 12 with him in the rematch and took some hard shots along the way.

Did I send this article from Ringtv.com to you? I sent it to dstew, but wasn't sure if I sent it your way.

True, I'd actually like Jermain to win but I don't know. I feel that he has lost something, confidence maybe, not sure but something isn't there. I think it is when he gives it his all, drops the guy but the other guy has the perseverance to fight back, Taylor seems to give in a little. I have not seen enough of AA to know how he will do when tested but he seems to hit pretty hard. If he actually hits harder now at SMW, I just hope Taylor does not falter.

I wanted him to whip Froch but when he tried to slug it out instead of playing it safe in the 12th, I was like wtf are you doing man? I am torn but I'd really like Jermain to win, just don't know if he has the mental confidence once things get rough anymore. With the way he is talking now, I hope he is ready dig deep. It seems like AA knows that Taylor has skills and will be very respectful the first couple (as always) and may wind up trailing big on the cards. Either way, it'll be a great one.

I hope so too man, hope he gives it all he has. Jermain said this was the first time he really got into watching videos of his opponent. I think Ozell said they had every Abraham bout. And Arthur has studied Jermain diligently. Should be a great one lol

Id like to say more but im typin with one hand have a nosebleed lol

Like I've always said, Dougie Fischer is one of the best.

[Mr. Philadel]

I'll be there......JT should be able to outbox AA easily!!

Looking at the sig above me I think "swim without getting wet" is perfect advice for Taylor in this fight (though I guess it is in all fights, right?). More specifically he shouldn't stick around in Abraham's range and allow him to counter like most of his opponents who get punch drunk and start ****ing away at him in the inside. Get in and get out, work him from the outside with that great jab.

[Mr. Philadel]

JT sounds like he has the right mental approach to this!!

“I know if I’m in shape, I can beat anybody in the 168-pound division,” he said. “If I didn’t believe that, I wouldn’t be in this tournament. I’m not taking anything away from Abraham. He’s a hell of a fighter. His defense is great. He has power. He’s a smart boxer who knows how to fight when he wants to fight. But at the same time, he’s no Bernard Hopkins. I can’t put him that category, and until he whips me, I can’t put him on the same level as me.

"I won’t put any of the fighters (in the tournament) on my level because I’m not ready to be written off.”
