    He was heading for a spirited but decisive loss on the scorecard and just got absolutely cold cocked. He's not a guy who can last the 12. Glad to see Taylor is back on his feet, but... as Friday said, you got knocked the **** out.

    JT needs to retire, its obvious he can't compete anymore.

    The way he fell was more brutal than the actual punch Taylor needs to really think about his future in the sport now.

    I'd hate to see Taylor exit this series. I feel he can still compete at the top.

    He's done. 3 times TKO/KO'd is enough to make you re-think fighting on. Dude was undisputed champ, he's done enough.

    Taylor should step aside, Allan Green should step in.

    Taylor looked good in spells tonight and I feel bad for him the way that ended. I can't see where he goes from here.

    He should retire. He's not going to accomplish anything, and tonight showed that the prime of his athleticism has well and truly gone.

    I wished, I really really wished he'd finish the fight. I had Abraham ahead clearly, landing the cleaner punches... JT landed very very few. But damn, I don't know the official scores, but Jermain didn't need that punch. He deserved to finish the fight on his feet.

    I feel very bad for him.

    I hope his next fight is not against Kessler. He deserves leaving the tournament upright with some pride intact.

    Yeah, that was tough to watch. Abraham is a hell of a fighter though, props to him.
