Abraham vs Taylor: Jermain "Arthur is Nothing Special"

[Matt Marvelous]

Abraham by late KO.

[MJ406]

Super Duper Six.

And it does not take anything special to beat your ass into the ground either, Jermain. Dont you forget that.

oh you didn't hear, Jermain beat himself vs Froch .. by not training as hard as he could. lol

Now we'll see how the new and improved Taylor looks on Saturday

and as far as Jermain talking trash to build up his confidence

he's done it in the past, and all it's really done is build himself a false sense of security.

**there's a pretty good piece up on ESPN.com that talks all about the Super 6.

how it formed, etc look for it.

Abraham is just another euro bum like Kessler and Zaghe. He sucks.

don't know about the Eurobum stuff because if that were true it would mean that Jones and BHOP got beat by one of those bums so they must be garbage beyond repute.

I hope Taylor wins this fight even though I am not rooting for him to win the whole tournament. I think Abraham is another overrated fighter and Taylor has been there and done that when it comes to fighting top opposition. Say what you want about Taylor, but the guy has not had any easy fights on paper since winning his title except for Ouma and Spinks.

Funny how fighters always denegrate their opponents before the fight, then hype them up after they win. Of course it's much worse if they lose.

Nothing funny about it. The initial denegration servies as self-motivation. The trailing hype makes you sound like a compassionate human being and not a twat.

Abraham has the perfect kind of style to stop Taylor. I hope it doesn't happen, but I would be far from surprised if it did.

lol. he doesnt look like a dumbass if he loses. he looks like a guy who did his job before the fight, hyping it. its part of his job to put asses in seats.

How does saying that his opponent is nothing special put asses on seats? That's not what I call trash talking, or hyping the fight, because if what he says is really true, it wouldn't be a great fight. To be a great fight it needs to be competitive.

But Taylor keeps losing to people whom he says are nothing special, so no one will take much notice of what he says one way or the other. What matters is whether he can deliver in the ring this time.

Froch was supposed to be an easy fight on paper.

I agree completely.
