Taylor vs. Abraham

By Richard Gough: Any other boxer with a record of four defeats (3 knockouts) and one win (points) from his last five fights would be urged to retire as a spent force.

By Glen Anglin: With a single, last minute, right hand thunderbolt through the guard and to the chin of Jermain Taylor, Arthur Abraham stamped himself too many as the odds on favorite to win the Super Six tourney. However, I am not convinced.

By Al Francis: I remember back in the summer of 2005, Bernard Hopkins was undisputed middleweight champion at age 40 and was about to make his 21st defence of the middleweight title.

By Scott Gilfoid: At today’s conference call, former WBC/WBO middleweight champion Jermain Taylor has a refreshingly honest appraisal of his situation that he faces in his Super Six bout against former IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham on October 17th, at the O2 World Arena, Kreuzberg, in Berlin, Germany.

By Sean McDaniel: With only a month to go before the first part of the Super Six tournament begins, the build up for the fights between Mikkel Kessler vs. Andre Ward, Carl Froch vs. Andre Dirrell and Arthur Abraham vs. Jermain Taylor are already starting to heat up.
