    Haymon will match JT with Quillin. Move one investment into another before it's lost.

    WTF, there was totally time for more boxing! :| Curse you Showtime!

    I was sure with all the extra time bought by Lara they'd show the 8-round showcase bout of J'Leon Love (Mayweather protege, promotional asset, sparring partner, & member of #TheMoneyTeam)

    I really wish CT would have asserted himself a bit sooner. Had he done so, maybe we wouldn't be subjected to the sight of Taylor in the ring again. :!:

    If he fights one of the top guys Taylor will be carried out of the ring they should not allow him to fight anymore.

    JT evokes more sentimental sympathy than Zab Judah. Everyone has a soft spot for failures.

    Wow, I was thinking Taylor might have a career to salvage but I kept saying to myself he wasnt throwing that right hand to the body, there was a clear opening to it all night and Taylor was just not bringing his jab back to protect himself

    I was falling asleep in round 8 and then Boom I woke up when he went down on the canvas and it perked me up quicker than a red bull.

    Good win for Taylor and honestly he should be looking to fight Kerry Hope next, not exactly a step down from Truax (Hope lost a decision to Truax not too long ago) and he isnt well known for his punching power, would be an even bigger win if Hope can upset Proksa again in the rematch.

    I can see with another fight or two Taylor V Quillin

    At the end of the day it should be done as means for feeding his family, but his family will want to have him aware of his surrounding at an advanced age.

    The risk/reward/success likelyhood needs to be contemplated, and without even thinking twice about it I am sure we all agree JT should retire for his family, not for boxing fans.
    Your family need you more than boxing need a shell of you, Jermain.. please retire.

    Any decent pay day he most likely gets ktfo and maybe damaged for life. So its time to retire.
