Theres no way Jermain will beat Arthur

[Blue Heffner]

KO power
good technical skills
amazing chin
good defense
good movement
amazing heart and determination

You're suppose to look good against level C or D- competition. Abraham's resume compared to Taylor's is ass blood. Taylor over AA by UD.

[Jim Jeffries]

I'm not sure about the 2nd one. I think the scores were kind of wide. He admitted that he fought cautiously the 2nd time and wished that he had been more aggressive.

I stand corrected, the scores were 115-113, 116-112, 117-111. So if Jermain had won the last two, it would've been a majority draw.

The 117-111 score was a bit off though.

Jermain's fought the better competition.

Im rooting for him to win the whole thing.

You wanna put your 140k on it, Vic? Not the whole series, just this...
(i got AA over Taylor for your 140k)

Agree on the KO power and chin.

IMO Tayor can outpoint him from the outside when he's locked behind his turtle defense, and Taylor has the better movement.

I think Taylor takes it.

Abraham's style allows Taylor to take his time and still win the rounds. He doesn't apply the same constant pressure and fast pace as Froch/Pavlik. And furthermore Abraham’s power hasn't been tested against a well adapted smw before.
There is a considerable size/reach difference in Taylors favor, and Taylor has the technique to exploit that.

Agreed

AA has a hell of a chin...and lots of ko power.

[Bhopreign]

Taylor with his natural ability could be such a better fighter than he is, he proves that you cant neglect ring smarts.

[jazluvr]

Hey Vic, i pm'd you with my offer...you wanna back up your faith with your points? You say he'll beat the whole division...i say he can't even get past AA. Again, 140k On AA beating Taylor.

Yeah, actually, i like Taylor more, and wish i had faith he could win it, he seems to have what it takes, but for some reason...it's like something's holding him back... i can't figure it out. A shame too. I really like his style. Very slick and graceful and rythmic.

Maybe that's it. His opponents time his rythym, and take advantage of it. Just a theory.

Part of the reason is because he fights too nervously, and that he never really stayed in shape in between fights; too much junk food and drinking. Not on Hatton's level, but still too much.

When you watch him fight he does a lot of wasted motion by twitching, rocking his upper body, etc. I also don't think he trusts his finishing abilities, as he's not as agressive as he used to be.

He's always faded late. It's especially bad because he's always carried his left low, and when he gets tired it beomes more noticiable that he can't bring it up in time to block shots. He gets KO'd when he fades.

But now he has promised to do a complete 180 and changed everything in his camp. I want to buy into it, but I've been let down too much. I'll still support him to the absolute end though.
