Abraham-Taylor Draws Big Ratings; Jermain Doing Well

[LEFTYGUNZZ]

yeah, taylor has 2 kids so he needs to sit down and really think about if he wants to keep fighting. u want to be healthy for ur kids. but the hardest thing for a fighter to do is stop fighting. we've seen that over and over again

He is going t finish the tourney at the very least. he can still get in there with the best. Nothing to be ashamed of here he fought one of the best at 160-168 Saturday night. He was getting called for low blows and lost a point early on could have a BIG factor in his limited atack since it seemed early on the body was a BIG part of his game plan. As for the KO it was a great punch from a heavy handed hitting Double A. I have my favorite now in the tourney. But as for JT with Ward being his next opponent he needs to step his game up and do what he can do and finish the fight on his feet ifhe doesnt then he needs to toss in the towel....Lefty

Abraham showed that he is very powerful even at this weight. JT was competitive thruout the fight and by no means it was a one way fight. JT didn't gas out and that vicious right hand of Abraham had everything to do in the end of the fight. Got to give credit to Abraham in pressuring till the end. Floyd should hear Arthur when he says that money is not everything but putting his name with the greats is the most important thing to him

Was anyone else yelling "THROW A RIGHT HAND JERMAINE!!!" while watching this? Glad JT is doing well but that was a perfect right by Abraham and would put anyone on their butt. I hope JT continues though, he contends will all of these guys until the very end.

lmao !!! thats what i was saying the WHOLE FIGHT. he just kept pawing with that jab over and over agian. i kept sayin " drop a ****in right hand behind that jab". also with abraham's winky wright stlye defense jemain should hav thrown so uppercuts in between his gloves. i dont think he tried it once

As a Jermain fan, it really hurt me to watch that fight. His stamina seemed much better but his game plan was slim to none. Someone mentioned earlier that his plan was probably to target the body as early as possible with AA's guard being so high, which is good, but those low blows he was getting called on took him out of that game plan. Therefore, he pawed with his jab and threw a combination here or there trying to win on work rate alone.

Taylor needs to bring Pat Burns back, or get another notable trainer who can really help him with his confidence and knows his ****.

Brother Naazim anyone?
