Whats Jermain Taylors Chance Saturday Night?

[JohnnyKickAss]

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

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

Could be right and I guess we'll know soon enough but both Jermaine and Abraham are natural middleweights anyway. Abraham will have more energy in this fight than he has in his last few but as I say time will tell.

Cant wait

That is true about Pavlik against Hopkins but he beat Taylor in the rematch at 166

[THE THIRD MAN]

Abraham is one tough nut and will give Jermaine a good going over.

[BoxingGorilla]

I keep thinking back to the Abraham Vs. Miranda fight. The image of that broken jaw and how Abraham fought through it. Rugged.

Then I recall Taylor slumped in his corner after the first Pavlik fight.


I'm going with Arthur.

[Deanrw]

Constant pressure beats Taylor, and Abraham, whom I feel is overrated, simply does not provide enough of it.

Been sayin' it for the past 3 years now...Arthur Abraham MUST BE ACKNOWLEDGED!!!

While that sounds like a fool ass statement...it's the truth.

It's time for everyone to finally acknowledge Art as a World Champion & not just a good Euro boxer.

Too much power.
Too much defense.
Too much of a heavyweight fwockin fighter trapped in a midget's body.

For real...I love my guy an' all that...but somebody's gotta draw & quarter that bitch!!!

Hail to the King baby.
=============================================

Now...with all that blowin' & suckin' & tuggin' outta the way...on to the question...I honestly thought Taylor might have a chance...of lasting past the 6th. I was surprised that he did.

Oh well...Taylor shoulda always kept Pat Burns...that's all I'ma say bout that. Ozzell's about as handy in a pinch as a vibratin' buttplug!

Wacko out!!

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.
