    From Dan Rafael's chat moments ago on ESPN.com...

    ----------------

    Dan Rafael (10:54 PM)



    Bat Phone. Be right back.


    Dan Rafael (11:00 PM)



    Hey guys, I'm back. That was Lou DiBella on the phone from Germany.
    Dan Rafael (11:02 PM)



    Lou said Jermain had a severe concussion and is in the hospital for precautionary reasons. He has had short term memory loss. Lou said he'll stay in the hospital for several days as a precaution. No decision has been made about his future in the tournament.

    JT seems like a good guy and maybe he should be replaced by Bute or Green but I dont know how they will leverage the points to make it fair.

    I think Allan Green is the unofficial alternate, but I'm hoping it's someone else after his last performance.

    I can't see how the tournament system would work if you replace a fighter. I'm pretty sure all six had to sign contracts that makes it pretty difficult for them to get out.

    I don't care what they say/do, get out the tournament immediately. He could die in there if they continue to send him, the KO was too brutal.

    this goes to show people (who maybe didnt know) that boxing is more serious then almost any other sport..... even in a tournament, there is the realistic possibility you will not end up the same.

    If you google it up, there are stories indicating he retired or stated he will. I'll believe it when there is an offical annoucment.

    Exactly. Not mentally or physically and could actually DIE.

    I hope he's allright and I think it's time to retire. The Pavlik and Froch KO's were beatings but that shot from AA seemed to just blow him away.
