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.
