    "I need a couple of rounds to analyse my opponent," said Abraham following his dramatic victory.
    "Then I let him (Taylor) punch himself tired before striking back late on."

    "I'm really disappointed and pretty sad, it was a hard punch, no questions," said Taylor, who had to be revived and taken to hospital after the bout as a precaution.

    "I'm not finished yet, I can win my next two fights."

    Bless him. Seems unbelievable that this is the guy who beat Hopkins twice without real problems.

    Good, i don't think he can beat Ward but he should perform better against a different style of opponent.

    Got to admire the courage, although with confirmed paydays in this tournament for all fighters being as they are ( I heard AA and JT got 2 mil each for this fight) - it'll be hard to walk away.

    well he was in the fight, but not winning in my book. I think he should go on.

    Yes, Ward's style fits him better I believe.

    i honestly think JT is done, bless him for wanting to continue though. but for his own dignity and health he should drop out.

    Ward might not stop him, but he'll beat him. Dre is by far faster, younger, and fresher, and will beat JT to the punch all night.

    That **** is said. A loss is not bad but to lose by KO almost every time... that is bad.

    I admire the courage....but i dont particularly want to see anyone fight on after what hes been through. I want him to stay as healthy as possible..

    Did you just say that? You watched the first Taylor-Hopkins fight right? Taylor was in dire straits in the last four rounds. He was getting rocked by counter rights hands and was tiring badly. He hung in there for the debateable decision and showed alot of heart.

    I do admire Taylor's mental resiliency though. He's a tough kid.
