Whats Jermain Taylors Chance Saturday Night?

[JT Rock]

Taylor starts fights at a high pace usually winning the first half more or less easily and then he slows down...and that is perfect for AA who likes to let his opponent punch out willingly giving the first rnds away and then starting to take his opponent apart rnd by rnd...but you all know that...

I think if Taylor keeps his pace and cool he maybe can win this...but like you said this is a Sauerland event and winning this on points against the local favorite is nearly impossible(keep in mind its not whole Germany its just and always has been SAUERLAND)...but on the other hand I think AA will stop Taylor late in the fight anyway...

Quite glad you found this thread Mr. Kickass, nice to hear some insight from Abraham's backyard.. There will be a few exchanges since Taylor likes to respond when clipped, just not sure who will benefit more. I know AA was struggling to make 160 and Taylor could easily fight at 175.. The size difference is definetly apparent

[HattonTheHammer]

The wildcard of the 6

Taylor is still a very good fighter and what with his heighth, reach and inevitable weight advantage on the night i genuinely see him stopping AA late on.

He cant take a decision, not in germany against their golden boy he`d have to win at least 8 rounds for a draw.

What he should and i expect he will do early doors is not allow abraham to dictate with his slow aggressive rythym instead getting his shots in before AA and forcing him to change his gameplan. By 5-6 AA will enjoy a close contested fight and will hurt jermain eventually if JT allows himself to be drawn into an all out war.

But eventually i see one of jermains sharp left/rights catching AA around 11 and stopping him before the fight ends!

Taylor maybe taller,but I think AA will be bulkier...and like you said AA had problems with 160 often fighting drained I hope we will see a more explosive AA now that he doesn't need to drain himself that much anymore...I think this will could be a very exciting fight and who knows...Taylor was able to floor Froch(I think the first fighter to do this)he may well do this to AA and who knows how AA will deal with that...

So true, AA can work more on attribute training and less on weight loss. Definetly will make for a sharper more polished King Arthur, thinking back at the 2nd Miranda fight which I believe was at 166 he looked like a beast with the extra 6 lbs.. Again I am a huge fan of AA and this could very well be his big arrival on the scene(At least in America) if he beats Taylor. Just find it hard to go against Taylor with all his talent and after his last dissapointment

[El Kabong]

I think JT has a great chance because AA fights a bit like Hopkins in that he will give away a couple rounds before he gets going. Taylor will need to win rounds 1-4, stay close 5-9, and then win 1 round of 10-12 and he'll be the winner, EXACT same format as the Hopkins fights.

[Violent Demise]

Taylor has an excellent chance of winning the whole thing. Coming in as the underdog where not much is expected of him will actually help him

[GAME]

Taylor had more chance of beating Pav and Froch than he has of beating Abraham.

Arthur will be even better at 12st. This will be the fight of the night

....everyone thought extra weight would help Pavlik too and he looked about as good at 168 as Ricky Hatton did at 147

I doubt he will get the decision in Germany if it will be as close as Hopkins fights but I agree Jermain has a good chance here, in fact I’ll go with him in this one; like you said AA use to give away a few rounds before he gets going and also he doesn’t have a strong pace like Pavlik or Froch.

Is this true? I read that AA was struggling with coming down to 160, which is why he is moving up to 168...(if i'm reading you correctly). Not sure JT would be that comfortable at 175 either--he's a good puncher, but not his power would translate enough to compete; although, I'd love to see him fight Dawson at a catch weight somewhere in the middle, (provided he fixes his stamina issues).
