Jermain doesn't have to be totally gassed to get knocked out by a puncher like Abraham. If Abraham can land enough he WILL KO Jermain. If Jermain does a good job with his defense he has a great chance.

Then he wins IMO...Because he has more skills than AA, He could jab for 12 rounds and win a decision if he doesnt get tired.....unless he gets robbed in Germany.Comment

Jermain has a 6inch reach advantage.. That will come in handy
If he keeps Abe in that turtle shell and outside with the end of his jab, I dont see what Abe can do..
He is gonna have to leap in and that can be disastrous for him, Abe usually doesnt open his combos up with a jab, he leaps in with punches. Abe also isnt a pressure fighter pressing the action.. Abe starts off slow, Jermain needs to stay calm while bagging those early rounds so he can have something left when Abe starts to come on.... Taylor has so many advantages, style wise and physically..Comment

That’s a very good question.
If "Team Taylor" speaks the truth about Jermains preparations before his loses and the change he made for this one, it will happen!
Stamina problems can be fixed with the right attitude. Old people can leave their couch, workout, diet and run a marathon for god’s sake.
Like I've said before, I would rather be the trainer responsible for fixing Taylor's stamina, than be the guy who'd have to work on Froch's defense..Comment

As stated in another thread, Abraham thinks that footwork and timing is the key to win, which sounds like that he and his coach have worked out a strategy that suits him vs. Taylor - negate the reach and try to work inside. Though, he also needs the stamina to do so...if he has it, this fight really comes down to footwork as he said - so we'll find out if Abraham's footwork is underrated or assumed right on the button by a lot of people here on the board...Jermain has a 6inch reach advantage.. That will come in handy

I wouldn't be too sure of Taylor winning even if he doesn't tire.Comment

He can't get tired if he wants to stand a chance at winning...
Even then it could be a difficult fight...Abraham can pop from what I remember...but Jermain can too...Comment

I think Taylor loses a decision to Kessler whether he gasses or not. Other than that, I'd give him a solid chance of beating everyone else....IF he didn't gas in the last few rounds. Problem is, I've begun to believe that he's physically incapable of conditioning on that level, and is going to gas in the last 2 or 3 rounds no matter what. Which means that he and his trainer need to work more on closing the show early, rather than concentrating on conditioning. He'd have probably come away from the Froch fight with a KO win if he were a better closer. He's got plenty of power and accuracy, he just doesn't have that predatory attitude he needs when he gets his opponent hurt.Comment
