No way Taylor gets out of 12 rounds if the same Ward that showed up tonight, shows up to fight Taylor. After his multiple KO's, Taylor is highly likely to be KO'd within 10 vs Ward and if he makes it all 12, no way he wins a decision. Taylor really should consider his health and opt out of this. Hes in a no win situation. That delusional chance to win a title again is going to let his ego get the better of him, and its going to end up hurting his health in the long run.
I want to see him take up a little tune-up at some point before the fight. Just to keep sharp and boost the confidence a little bit.
He probably doesn't want to end his career with 2 ko's on the trot. He has a chance to beat America's newest biggest star. Ward pulled off a tremendous win tonight and Taylor will no doubt want a piece of him.
Thats the terrible part about it. Boxer ego, going to go for it. He accomplished greatness once already as the undisputed champ. After what hes gone through with the KO's, no necessity for another belt or to continue anymore. Hes made alot of money and from what Ive read, hes managed it well so theres no reason to keep fighting for $$$. This young guy Ward is hungry, fast, talented, and looking for glory in this tourney. Afer his performance tonight, youve got to say Taylor will have the first 2 most difficult fights of this tourney opponent wise, and he is not in the position mentally to come out the second one any better then the first. Its over man. Walk off into the sunset from years past, dont be carried out just because of ego.
i AGREE...HE SHOULD DROP OUT BUT HE WONT..I THINK HE FEELS HE HAS SOMETHING TO PROVE....WE KNOW HE GOT THE HEART...****, EVERY FIGHTER HE LOST TO WAS UNDEFEATED...117-0 COMBINED RECORD FOR THOSE THAT BEAT JT...AINT **** TO PROVE....U WAS THE CHAMP AT 160 AND HAD A NICE LITTLE RUN...TIME TO RETIRE...
