Abraham and Taylor to lead off the action in the Super Six World Boxing Classic
Arthur Abraham and Jermain Taylor will lead off the action in the Super Six World Boxing Classic in Germany on October 17. The former undisputed middleweight champion Taylor and former middleweight titlist Abraham make for a terrific matchup on paper, one with plenty of x-factors at play.

"I know Arthur is a big hitter. I know what I'm going to do and I know what needs to be done on Oct. 17."

"I don't worry about the crowd.  The crowd doesn't get in the ring. It's just me and the other guy."

"I've fought the best of the best in boxing. I've won some and lost some. I just want to win this tournament. There ain't nothing else to it. It's not about the money or anything but that I want to win. I plan to just leave it all in there. That's all I got. That's my state of mind right now. No excuses. Just go in there and fight," Jermain Taylor said.
