Abraham will beat Taylor.

Bernstein and Albert are a great team. At times I even prefer them to Lampley and co., just for a change.

Steve Albert was a very good commentator, intelligent and generally fair and balanced in his comments. It was interesting how he brought Bernstein back in check when he began to become absurdly biased for or against boxers.

I will admit, however, that Berstein's whiny voice grates on me in much the same way as Kellerman's. I usually hope for a stoppage whenever either are commentating - to hear them for the full distance isn't a worthwhile prospect for me. :laff2:

[Mr. Philadel]

i have 10K that says otherwise..

cool......I'm in......sig it up

[Clegg]

I liked Albert, it's too bad he's gone. The new guy Johnson is improving, however.

Farhood is my favorite.

Yeah, I like Farhood and Johnson. I've only heard him twice, but Tarver has done a good job so far as well IMO.

[bojangles1987]

Lol, this turned into a bitching about commentators thread.

Honestly, I'm at the point where unless they are horribly biased, I just tune them out. It's like they aren't even there while I'm watching.

hope to god taylor wins. could get me a fair few thousand if he does.

Abraham will stop him. If he thinks Pavlik hit hard let him taste what abes got. Anyways it is in Germany unless Taylor wins every round he will lose.

Pavlik was bigger, much taller and much more busy than Abraham. Granted i think Abraham would have beaten Pavlik head to head had they fought, though styles makes fights. Since Abraham doesn't start fighting until the middle rounds and isn't a high pressure/energy fighter like Froch or Pavlik, I'm expecting Taylor to sweep the early rounds by simply giving Abraham lateral movement and letting his hands go, and i think he'll have enough strength to clinch late ( similiar to how he reacted late in the Pavlik rematch) to win a decision. Abraham isn't busy enough, and i think Taylor realizes that this is one of his last opportunities.

Al Bernstein will NOT be calling the fight from ringside, but from a TV screen.

Of course, Bernstein will be rooting for Taylor, and so he'll score every possible round for Jermain, even if Abraham's punches are cleaner and more effective.

If the scoring is fair, and Abraham wins, Bernstein will ***** that it's a robbery, like he always does! If it is fair and Taylor wins, he'll say the scores should have been wider.

If the fight is stopped, Bernstein will call it a quick stoppage if Abraham wins and ***** about it for as long as he can, but he'll agree with the stoppage if Taylor wins, even if the fight was stopped too soon!

And all the sheeple will believe whatever Bernstein says.

I know, look at this disgraceful article he wrote about Abraham entitled "All Hail The King". Those damn ***s can never be fair!

Yes. I don't think he likes any European boxers, really.

But what's bizarre about Bernstein's prejudice is that Abraham isn't even of German heritage - Armenians are a Semitic people.


But then again, so are the ************...

Oh wow, I didn't even see this piece of gold. Gee, I wonder what you meant by that last statement. Could it be that Bernstein is ***ish and therefore he some how must be part of the ***ish conspiracy including being a Zionist despite the fact that you know nothing about his opinions on that?

People are gonna argue that Taylor has too many physical advantages and more experience that will beat Abraham. Taylor is not capable of fighting a perfect fight though. You can make a wall of text stating how he could beat Abraham, but that's not Jermain Taylor. He's an 8 round fighter. I'll believe otherwise when he proves it.

Abraham comes on strong late in fights. Taylor fades late and has a suspect chin. Abraham by KO.
