How they gonna sell Taylor for the next round? He'll be thinking about retirement. This was an obvious problem for the super six.
Well done Abraham.

The first person that beats Abraham is my favorite fighter, I'm officially a hater.
Wow, that was reminiscent of Hatton there. Taylor so damn frustrating. He just wouldn't pull the trigger on that right hand. After that KO makes me wonder about him in the tourney. Could be bad for him to continue on
Kudos to AA though, fucker :)
How can Taylor rebuild now? 4loses in his last 5fights he's done imo
God site slow 2nite gutted for jermain roll on kessler the king is still ?
Shit i picked Abraham to win on points... 7 fucking seconds :(
this contest dosn't look good for Froch he hung on against taylor and only won because of the KO... think he might come last in this contest because blocking punches with your chin just isnt as effective at this level... we'll see :)
anyways great win for Abraham.
loving this stuff and hats off to showtime 8)
Taylor is really lucky that he is in this tournament, because he still has 2 big fights guarenteed to him. If this was just a regular fight, he would only be getting fights with tomato cans, and up and comers, since he has lost 4 of his last 5 fights, with 3 of them by brutal knock out.
Beginning to take to Tarver, not blowing smoke up Dirrell's arse cos hes American quite refreshing!!
I need my boxing fan card revoked, I missed the fight to get my winter garden vegetables :mad:.
Didn't do it on purpose, thought it was starting in 20 minutes. At least I can catch the Showtime replay.
Great start to the tour. Abraham's merit to win in this thing has just shot thru the roof, as Taylor has people wondering if he should even have been a part.
Looking forward to the Froch/Dirrell fight and see where it stands from there.
So tune into this thread to follow it live, and hopefully we get another exciting match!
Kess and Abraham HAS to happen.Dont think he'll be able to take portions of round off like that,was coasting as rounds closed.
Taylor should not continue in this I believe.He looks hesitant,unclear.So repetitive in actions..rocks to and fro,left arm at waist...jab...touch head.Rinse repeat.
Froch will make Abraham work harder but he'll give him endless chances to land a big punch like that one. If Taylor can knock Froch down then Abraham can do some damage. Abraham over Froch. And now Bernard Dunne getting sparked.
iam done with Taylor f+++14 seconds to go and he get s kod had enough now drinking until the Froch fight and ive picked Dirrell god it gets worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool:l
Happy with this result. I've been saying I fancy Abraham to win the tournament all week on facebook and friends have argued otherwise. I'm in work so can't watch this so thanks for the updates!
Taylor just didn't look in shape for me at the weigh in. Nowhere near as lean as the other fighters and if you look back at some of the promo photos he hasn't kept in shape between fights. Difficult to see him soldiering on after this defeat. Can't believe he was KO'd same time as the Froch fight!
Look forward to the commentary for the Froch fight now!
