Should jermaine taylor call it a career?

Undisputed number 1 in Novembers glass jaw rankings.

Froch's ko didn't come close to either. Froch hits no where as hard as kelly and Arthur.

I found both disturbing. Him slumped sound a sleep in the corner and him dropping flat on his back with his arms straight up in the air........It's awful to see a great guy like Jermain in this condition.

 

i know i should'nt laugh, but......

atsch

Rico is going to have a field day next month with linares and taylor.

 

I think froch hits harder than kelly.




But i guess we would never really know unless both of us got hit by kelly and carl.....................
















**** THAT

 

yeah, suffer from too many KO's and the brain turns to mush. Hopefully he's got enough money to retire on.

However, I'm guessing he signed a contract to complete the tournament. He's probably obligated to do so, unless he gets a doctor to sign him off on medical grounds.

 

No, I still want to see Taylor-Kessler. Should be an exciting fight.

Taylor and Kessler are about the same caliber fighters.Very conventional, straight up and one-two punch fighters. Nothing special, just basic boxing. Probably the only thing that Kessler has over Taylor is chin.

 

i wouldn't put it past Froch maybe having more raw power, but Kelly throws with better leverage and technique.

 

Jermain Taylor at his best put two wins in the books against an ATG middleweight. Tonight he lost to Arthur Abraham, and looked bad pretty much the entire fight. The math on that equation seems fairly simple. Jermain needs to stay home with his beautiful wife and children.

Anyone who wants to debate about whether or not JT is shot to **** need only answer the following questions:

Where was that fast-accurate right hand?

Where was JT's normal counter punching?

Where was that lightning fast left hook?

Why didn't JT ever step over and throw a big right hand when AA gave him about 20 chances to do that?

Later in the fight when AA was mouth breathing and backing up with his hands down, why didn't Jermain attack?

We saw none of that. The Jermain Taylor that was the undefeated, undisputed middleweight champion of the world no longer exists. If he chooses to continue, I will not watch his fights. I refuse to see him turn into another Bobby Chacon.

 

Hey boo, what did you think of Abraham tonight. I cant lie, the guy is growin on me.

 

Good post.

Could not have said it better.

 

He looked very easy to beat in my opinion. He looked a bit better than he did in some of his other fights, but like I said, JT is clearly not the JT of old, and it isn't that hard to look good against a fighter who has lost most of his arsenal. Put it this way; Jermain Taylor won about the same number of rounds LuJaun Simon did, but Simon made it to the final bell.

Bute, Andrade, Pavlik, Kessler, and probably a few others, would light Abraham's ass up big time.

 

Well, if he wants to go on, a fight against Ward is not the most dangerous one of the tourney. Bute he should retire. Any doctor will sign him the proper paper to get out.

 

he should at least finish the tournament!

 

not quite yet, but it must be getting close to finding a new line of work time
