He didn't quite say that, though, did he?

These are Dwyer's further thoughts on the fight. Notice the last phrase:

"I view Taylor as limited. Bute has more potential. He fought a masterpiece against Andrade until that disastrous last round.

I thought Taylor lost to Winky Wright (fight ruled a draw). I thought he lost to Cory Spinks. He should have beaten Kelly Pavlik -- an even more limited fighter -- easily, but didn't seem able to make basic adjustments (e.g., circling in the middle of the ring, forcing Pavlik to throw across his body).

A Bute matchup would be a good fight. I think Bute wins the decision by fighting the same fight Spinks did -- forcing Taylor to move and be off rhythm. If Taylor can't land his jab, he is lost. He uses it for timing and doesn't seem to have a Plan B.

That said, his jab is beautiful to watch."

Masterpiece against Andrade? Not sure I agree with Dwyer this time around...:verysad...I think he's underrating Taylor in this one.
