Talor was fine after a while he was up and walking. Arthur is a talented fighter who uses his power and defencive style to wear down and destroy his oppnents and that is exactly what he did again. Hail king Arthur and for gods sake man get a new outfit.
We have the first winner in SHOWTIMES’s groundbreaking SUPER SIX Tournament. The bout took place at Berlin’s O2 World before a sold-out crowd of 14,000+. To avoid spoiling the result for people planning to watch tonight’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast (8PM ET/PT) we’ve put the result on a different page.
In a clash of former middleweight world champions, unbeaten Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KOs) scored a spectacular late knockout over Jermain Taylor (28-4, 17 KOs) before 14,000+ at the sold out O2 World in Berlin, Germany in the first round of SHOWTIME’s “Super Six World Boxing Classic” super middleweight tournament. A huge right hand put Taylor down and out with just 16 seconds left in the fight.
Round One: Mostly a “feeling out” round. Abraham landed a couple of good rights.
Round Two: Taylor hit Abraham with a low blow, and later with a good left hook. Abraham landed some glancing blows when swarming Taylor.
Round Three: Taylor active with his jab, Abraham landed some power shots.
Round Four: Another low blow from Taylor, who began throwing more power shots. Abraham didn’t do much.
Round Five: Abraham much more aggressive, trying to turn the “boxing match” into a fight.
Round Six: Taylor deducted a point for another low blow by referee referee Jose Guadalupe Garcia. Finally some exchanges! Abraham getting the better of it.
Round Seven: Taylor’s jab still working well, but when the fight opens up, it’s Abraham doing more damage.
Round Eight: Abraham lowered his guard trying to entice Taylor to mix it up.
Round Nine: Abraham momentarily staggered Taylor with a huge right hand, but didn’t follow up. Taylor recovered quickly.
Round Ten: Taylor still jabbing. Abraham looking to land big shots.
Round Eleven: Taylor keeping his hands moving. Abraham came on at the end of the round.
Round Twelve: Taylor still jabbing. Abraham connecting with some power shots. Abraham landed a huge right hand knocking out Taylor with seconds left in the fight. Time was 2:44.
Abraham’s KO will have extra significance in the Super Six tournament as each fighter’s three “Group Stage” matchups are for points.
3 points for a KO/TKO victory
2 points for a decision win.
1 point for a draw
0 points for a loss
After the Group Stage, the four fighters with the highest point totals will advance to the single-elimination Semi-Finals. The winners of the Semi-Final bouts will advance to the Finals and fight for the inaugural Super Six World Boxing Classic trophy.
