I will be going for Taylor but King Arthur is the real deal and I can't see Taylor changing into a pure boxer by this fight.
I definitely wouldn't consider Abraham a pressure fighter. In fact I think he is at real risk of losing this fight because he won't pressure enough.

I can't see Abraham winning any of the first 5 or 6 rounds, he just won't do anything but cover up.

It all depends on how much pressure Abraham can put on Taylor late on, but my opinion is that unless Abraham can knock Taylor out he could well lose the fight.

I don't really rate Artur's chances much in this competition, to me he's the rank outsider. Never fought at the weight, never beaten a significant opponent, unless you call going life and death with Miranda a significant win.

I think and have said previously that I feel he will be the disappointment of the whole show. I wouldn't be suprised if he lost every fight, I mean seriously when has a decent non heavyweight ever come out of Europe? Us Brits have had a few but Germany and Armenia or wherever he's from, well I dont recall them ever having a world class fighter capable of beating the best in the world.

They normally prefer to go 40-0 against the type of guys that even Felix Sturm would be embarrassed to fight. Credit to him for stepping up, but he's going to struggle imo.

Taylor to win.
