Taylor wins this fight JB is yet to impress me.

 

Just curious,when was the last time Taylor impressed you if ever??

He hasnt won a significant fight even on a domestic level in long time.

 

Going 12 rounds with Arthur Abraham is far better then any domestic level accomplishment though

 

I stand corrected..

Kind of sums old Shannon Taylor up doesnt it??

Best performance being a unanimous points loss in a world title fight.

I was only in my early teens when i seen Shannon get ko against julian holland.At the time i though it was one of boxing's biggest upsets as i was to young and stupid to realise Taylor wasnt that good.

Anyone think he has much Cash??He has fought in a few world title bouts and the Mosley bout would of atleast got him a few hundred grand.

 

Maybe, but there are so many costs involved in fighting at that level as well that I wouldn't be suprised if he didn't. Being a coke addict probably wouldn't have helped his cause either. Coke is a very expensive habit to have as it costs about $300 per gram. Could have dwindled away pretty quickly.

 

Having TC as promoter wouldn't have helped with money issues, that's for sure.

 

Who is TC? What sort of things does he do to his fighters?

 

Actually i thought Taylor did well surviving 5 or 6rds against Mosley when he got caught and almost stopped with 10 secs to go in rd 1.

Apart from that the press in those early years overrated him with the talent he had.....for god sakes the average punter in the streets thought he was better then zoo.....footy mates of mine actually thought Zoo was scared to fight him at one point atsch

 

Dumb Question. Although I didn't know he was a bit of a shady character. Although I guess it comes with the job.

 

Guys, could someone fill me in a little more about Sonny Michael Angelo?

I have read a little abouit him but am yet to see him fight. What makes him so interesting, what are his strengths and weaknesses?
Where did he come from, how long in Aus etc?

He seems to be very controversial, but why?

I know very little about this guy, the more info someoen can provide the better,

Cheers

 

So I'm up late, kids asleep and I go for a stroll down memory lane into the annals of the Aussie forum...and look what I find!!

 

I was very surprised Taylor went the distance with Abraham. Word got out before the fight, that Taylor had busted his ribs. That made me certain that Abraham would stop him, but he didn't.

I saw the fight online, and it was a strange performance by Abraham. Taylor never really went on the attack, and Abraham was reluctant to step up the pace.

It was quite remarkable to say the least.
