As most of you already know by now I have got Abraham over Taylor, and I will break how I think the fight will go down. Firstly, I expect this fight to look like Clottey vs Cotto after the first few round, but I expect Taylor to dominate early, and actually make it look really easy for the first 4 rounds. Landing shot after shot on Abrahams guard with the occasional shot getting in, with a few damaging shots coming in from Abraham, but nothing much to give him the rounds. However, after the 4th round I expect this fight to look like Clottey vs Cotto with Taylor getting hit a lot more frequently, and seeing that there is no way he is going to hurt his opponent. I expect the middle rounds to be split, but with the momentum going with Abraham. The late rounds is where I see the fight changing. I believe Taylor will not completley gas, but this time will attempt to crank it up at around the tenth round, and this is where I expect Abrahams accuracy to really shin. Taylor will be flatfooted, and will attemt one of his bow and arrow looking 1-2s, and as he pulls his arm back I expect Abraham to land a bomb, Taylor will go down, and probably not beat the count.
Regarding the Froch Direll fight, I would be lying to say I can choose who I think will win without a doubt. Regardless, I have made a decision. While Froch may have the defense of the Ney York Knicks, his offensive arsenal is pretty good. I believe Direll will light his ass up for the first half of the fight, landing the cleaner shots, and landing flurries on Froch making him look downright ******. However, I expect Dirells inexperience, to do him no favors. Along the way of winning most of the first 8 rounds I expect Dirrel to take a few body shots and hard blows to the head that will slow him down a bit, and the late rounds (10-11-12) is where this will be telling. Direll sometimes depends on his speed and movement to be his defense, and even then backs himself up into corners, without being backed up. In one of the late rounds I see Froch catching him in a corner throwing a few nice shots that land clean, and possibly hurting Direll. This is when the officiating will become key with Froch down on all the cards I believe the referee may award him with a TKO even if it is not anywhere close to a good stoppage at the sight of seeing Direll buckle. Anyways if there isn't an early stoppage Froch will take most of the final rounds and might have a chance of a real KO. be that as it may, if it goes 12 I see Dirrrel winning the fight 8-4, 7-5. While this is the case, this fight is in Froches backyard and I expect the crowd and possibly a bad lens prescriptions to sway the judges, and I have Froch "officially" winning this fight possibly by questionable stoppage, or a SD. I am also willing to bet 70K on Froch if there are any takers.
