Ah! You meant Usain! Easy mistake to make Maxime matel! Though i'm not sure if the great sprinter's footwork is as fast as Dirrell's
If I were Taylor, i would sue Dibella after the tournament is over...not only has Taylor carried Dibella's slumping promotional company over the last 10 years, he has never once complained about having to fight guys like Kassim Ouma and Cory Spinks. Taylor had the guts to enter this tournament and he deserves to finish with the opportunity to take Wards 168lb title!!
I don't believe he will either. And I don't think he should. He got knocked out big-time by Abraham fair enough, but he isn't the first and won't be the last to hit the canvas hard against AA. And he was always in the fight up to then, his stamina looks to have improved a bit aswell. That's the hardest/most dangerous match-up out of the way for him, I actually think he's got a chance of beating Ward an Kessler, though he won't necessarily do so.
I don't see Taylor pulling out of this tournament, unless he gets embarrassed or ko'ed by Ward. The Bika-Green match is a good one and I hope it comes off even if Taylor stays in. As for the tournament, I thought the first round was good but the second and third rounds look better. The real letdown of the first round was Dirrell-Froch, the fight wasn't as good as figured and I thought it was a bad decision. But the other two fights were good and with Kessler, the favorite by most, now tied for last then that makes the next rounds even more interesting.
I'd agree, if Bute or Pavlik were put in instead of Taylor than that would be good. Bika and Green may be solid fighters but I still prefer Taylor over those two.
I completely disagree with everything you've written. But I'm glad you wrote it, 'cause I found it amusing :good
So who gives a damn what DiBella wants?Don King may want to put Luis Collazo in as far as I'm concerned. Taylor is a free agent and he is the one to choose.I'm sure he won't lay down.This is his last hurrah.
my apologies as i didn't go through all the posts but as a taylor fan i'm happy. maybe he could make some waves in the tourney but i don't believe he could win it. and even if he could, it isn't worth the risk to his health and future that he will no doubt take. the knockouts will add up, if they haven't already, and may cause irrepairable damage. at least dibella is doing this out of genuine concern for a friend
