    Hopefully he fights good enough to get a win in germany.

    That doesn't seem likely though with the judges they have over there.
    I thought the judges for this tournament should have been random.

      Much like the Froch fight, and the rematch with Pavlik, this is a fight that Taylor should win. But I think his stamina issue will kick in late and I wouldn't be surprised at all if Abrahman knocked him out.

        Yep, agree completely. Taylor should win, but will probably be TKO'd in the 11th or 12th, after fighting a great fight for 8 or 10 rounds and being ahead on the cards.

        I'd green you for that post, but I'm lazy and you don't need it anyway. You'll just have to be content with my agreeing with you (something I don't do here often, considering the high ratio of dumbass members to intelligent members).

          And how many times has this excuse been used when Tyson fought someone?

            I think Abraham will be stronger than Taylor honestly.

              No friend, i wasn't referring to the judges nationality to the reason on how fights in Germany have been scored.

              I was referring to them being paid off to have a certain fighter awarded a decision when they didn't deserve it.

              Abraham hasn't had that problem in his career yet but it doesn't mean it can't happen especially with a fight as big as this.

              I am just hoping for a good competitive fight with fair judging.

                B/c of this tourney being financed by one of the biggest pay-tv corp. in the US I think, that there will be fair scoring applied...

                  I do hope so.

                  the fight should be close though.
