    In that 5th round was it a legit knockdown?

    if you watch it you can see that he was off balance and kinda tripped as a punch hit his shoulder but then glanced off the temple.... I think it was a flash knowdown though, I mean the rest of the round Taylor kinda ran away as if he were hurt... it doesn't matter, Taylor put on a clinic in every single other round

    Taylor is a very good fighter, i felt he's under estimated sometimes. btw in my opinion that was a knock down buh the ref didnt call it and i dont feel that it would have changed the fight around at all

    it looked like the punch missed all together. I love watching Taylor. When he uses his jab he is tough to beat. Ozell Nelson seems like a much better fit as a trainer than Emanuel Stewart. Taylor vs Kessler would be a fight of the year canidate.

    :good:good

    Bested bhop over 24 rds.
    Great fight with Winky.
    Decent wins over Lacy and a couple of smaller guys.
    Two competitive thrilling fights with Pav.

    Taylor might be the most underrated fighter on the internets.

    Not a KD if you look at the replay. Taylor looked off balance as he was turning to get off the ropes, Lacy's shot glanced off the back of his shoulder and landed on the back of his head. Taylor looked like he might've been going down anyway due to trying to get off the ropes too fast and forgetting to take his feet with him.

    Not a KD.

    Lacy was whitewashed and once again exposed as a complete hypejob.

    Lacy was badly hurt in that fight..... Taylor buckled his feet during the second round.... the next "stand-in-front" type of guy Taylor fights is going to get rocked by great combos all night... Taylor is hungry again!

    it looked like it at first but the replay shows Taylor was off balanced

    great display of skill by Taylor early in the fight, but was dissappointed that he carried Lacy the rest of the way, whenever he had Lacy hurt it would be Taylor who initiated the holding.
