ARTHUR ABRAHAM KNOCKED OUT JERMAIN TAYLOR
Arthur Abraham knocked out Jermain Taylor with six seconds left Saturday, dramatically wrapping up a solid performance in the opening bout of the Super Six super middleweight tournament.
Abraham (31-0, 25 KOs), the former middleweight standout moving up to 168 pounds for the first time, was likely to win on points at O2 World Arena. But the unbeaten German-based Armenian champion caught Taylor with a right to the American's chin, dropping him senseless to the canvas.
"I need a couple of rounds to analyze my opponent," Abraham said. "And then I let him punch himself tired and then I strike back."
Taylor (28-4-1), the once-feared former middleweight champion from Arkansas, endured his fourth defeat in the last five fights, following two losses to Kelly Pavlik and a 12th-round stoppage last April by Carl Froch, who edged Andre Dirrell in the Super Six's second bout later Saturday night in Nottingham, England.
"He just surprised me with the right. I didn't see it," Taylor said. "But he hits hard, and he came to fight."
Taylor won the early rounds at the sold-out arena, but Abraham began taking control from the fifth. In the ninth, Abraham connected with a right hand to Taylor's head, leaving the former undisputed 160-pound champion on unsteady feet, the Associated Press reported.
