Arthur Abraham-Jermain Taylor Spoiler: Shocking Ending

[Dave Rado]

Sorry but you don't win a fight by holding your hands on your face for 95 percent of the fight. I do think without the point being taken off it was a lot closer than you guys make it out to be. Abraham fights about 20 seconds of every round and the rest of the fight he's either moving backwards or has his hands up.,,, (I don't dislike Abraham at all, in fact I picked him to win, but his performance until the last punch was very very pathetic.)

Abraham landed more clean punches and far more effective punches than Taylor in every round from the 6th onwards. And he was only a round or two down at the half way point. Taylor threw far more jabs than Abraham, but hardly any of Taylor's jabs landed, whereas most of Abraham's jabs landed. And Taylor landed almost no power punches in the entire fight, whereas Abraham landed plenty. You are obviously prejudiced against Abraham, presumably because you don't like his style. It may not be a style that appeals to purists but it's extremely effective, and to deny that just shows you up as either prejudiced, ignorant or blind.

Damn. I dont think thats exactly the last time we see Taylor in the ring, but I think we can all agree that hes pretty much done. Thats kinda sad, there were so many people with high hopes for this guy, now it looks like hes gonna be force into retirement early.
Good run, JT

Well done Arthur. Arthurs tactics as usual. He said afterwards: I need my time to get in a fight, i let the opponent attacking me and i wait until he is tired and then i finish him off.

how is this shocking

[Mr. Philadel]

I just left the arena......JT looked shot......his jab had no snap and he didnt land anything big.......on the other hand AA picked his spots and landed his power shots that JT was certainly feeling!!......the KO was nasty......just nasty!!.......I got some good pics and footage on my cam.....Valuev dancing during a break ......I felt like AA was bitching when JT was going to the body......he lobbied a point deduction but he beat JT the way JT normally gets beat....****!!!......props to Abe......still think he is overrated!

[Grand Champ]

Stop the excuses. Taylor hit nothing but gloves and forearms. Abraham on clean punches early. Taylor pulled through round 9 on heart and it finally ended in round 12. Abraham won as he always does on edurance and power. Good win by the King. Taylor were dead meat.

Oh my God I couldnt believe it first of all I saw the fight live on TV in Germany in the last 6 seconds I tought Taylor will be robbed because the fight takes place in Germany. But Abraham hit him flush and knocked him out now I have to admit that Abraham will probably win this tournament. I mean all the Americans fighters are boxer and no punchers compared to the European fighters who attend in this tournament. Nobody will recover from a seriese of loss this includes Taylor. I have to say that Taylor is done. Poor Talyor poor Taylor.

[Tobi.G]

The only guy is this tournament who may beat Abe is Kessler. Im sure we will see Kessler and Abraham in the finale.

What you talking about, if Taylor survived the round 12 i would have it 115-112 for Abraham(including point deduction)
