    Indeed, he looks like a tall midget to me.

    Taylor looks pretty good early. Nicklow is out of his depth.

    JTs jab looks good as ever, but he is more jittery than he used to be.

    Round 2

    Hard jabs by Taylor. Nicklow tries to wave his own jab up but gets his head snapped back by a stiff one delivered with laser accuracy and powerfully thrust. Taylor throws a chopping right hand that crashes against Nicklow's guard. Taylor jabs into the gloves while circling left, staying at close range but not smothering himself. Good right hand by Taylor as Nicklow covers up and inches forward. Taylor throws a jab to the forearms and then lunges down to drop a hammer uppercut to the navel. Combo by Taylor as Nicklow tries to open up with his own slow body shots, and they clinch. Jabs by Taylor while circling left. Big right hand by Taylor just before the bell, drawing the bowstring back from his chest and letting the arrow fly (which as Farhood points out makes for a good punch but a bit telegraphed and slower than it could be without the drawing back motion and original starting position by the chest)

    20-18 Taylor

    JT's jab is looking sharp. Agreed that he has nervous energy, but he looks good so far. 20-18 JT.

    He is looking pretty solid and fluid.

    He's always a fun fighter to watch.

    JT looks like the same fighter he was two years ago. I dunno if that's good or bad.

    Round 3

    Nicklow ducks and dives inside, as Taylor jabs at the top of his head. Nicklow tries to grind his big bald dome hard against Taylor's face and neck in the clinch until they get broken up. Taylor plugs a few hard body shots. BIG right hand up top by Nicklow as Taylor ducked! Taylor holds. Taylor circles left, out wide and jabbing steadily. Nicklow shuffles to his left, trying to get out in front of Taylor and loading up another long right hand up top. Taylor checks it and takes it on the shoulder with a slight lean. Nicklow keeps coming and they tie up. Nicklow works his free hand. Taylor leads with a hard left hook while reaching all the way across Nicklow and around his right glove. More good shots by Taylor.

    30-27 Taylor
