Jermain Taylor is damaged goods, plain and simple. Mentally, he now has to battle the demons of Carl Froch and Kelly Pavlik every time he enters the ring. In the past, Taylor’s superb athleticism and hand speed was enough to beat his opponents; however, as of late his weak technical skills have been plain to see.
Meanwhile, Abraham has very sound defense and is probably the best counterpuncher in the higher weights and has one-punch KO power. I think that Taylor will rack up an early lead on points but will find a way to lose. He simply is not good enough technically, or smart enough to find a way to beat Abraham in Germany. As a matter of fact, I think Abraham will stop him late.
Abraham via 11 round TKO

Abraham via 11 round TKOsimilar thought to smoothstyle1 but: ABRAHAM BY DECISION altho for one fckg last time i'm going to lean towards taylor. i'm going to believe that sht again. one last time jermaine! he's in ottkes fave. so he's going to have to win decisively. and boy i hope taylor gets his ref! i want to see taylor fight smart( hope). and stop that fighting anxious sht. the king is used to straiteup euroslugs and mostly featherfisters. jermaine finds a way to take king abe off his gameplan and i think you get abraham panicking. goose

Jermain Taylor gets ripped off, loses a decision he'd have gotten anywhere else except Houston, 117-111 x 2, 118-110. He then gets his revenge, winning in the consolation bracket.

"ABRAHAM WINS BY KO IN ROUND 12!"...
My fellow members of the BTBC Board, in the words of Harold Lederman, I GOTTA TELL YA:
Taylor's done... I don't know if I'd go as far as sayin that he's damaged good, because he beat Froch for 12 rounds straight before he was eventually knocked out, but I will say that it's gonna be his lack of stamina that will cost em again... He'll come out strong and somewhat aggressive within the first few rounds... He's also gonna waste 2 much of his energy possibly tryna go 4 a knockdown and once the later rounds hit, he's gonna show signs of fatigue and that's when it'll all be downhill 4 Taylor...
I'm still trippin off of how he lost 2 Carl Froch... If ya ask me, Froch is probably the most overrated boxer out right now...

I think Taylor can hang on for a victory this time. I wouldn't bet 1 cent on this fight, but if I have to pick, I take TAYLOR UD-12 (close).
