That right hand just finished Jermain Taylor's career

Average is still unfair if you want to get into the final.

 

That was a brutal KO. Taylor does not have a Chin.

 

they need to drop taylor and put sakio bika in...he is the smw rogers mtagwa and hang with any1 in the tournament....taylor hasnt been the same since kelly kod him

 

Neither do you, Goomba. Now **** off.

 

I was watching the clock thinking Jermain would make the end of the fight and then BAM, he hits the canvas HARD. I barely saw the right hand because of how Taylor was stretched.

I was gunning for Taylor in this fight and I really like him, despite all the **** people talk about him here. I was torn between Taylor and Abraham but since Taylor was the underdog and thus won out. That was just a devastating KO and the look on Taylor's face when he came to said it all.

Abraham is truly a legimitate force as a supermiddleweight. He's very tough to land on effectively, hits HARD, is physically quite strong even coming up in weight. And he cleverly mixes straight shots in with the arcing ones(like the sweet right he finished Taylor with...he turns his shots over very well) That methodical peekaboo guard is harder than it looks to get through and he explodes out of it explosively.

Whatever Taylor does from here I wish him the best. I hope he does what's best for him, his career, his family and his health.

 

atschDon't be stupid. If he had no chin then he would have been starched in the ninth when that right hand wobbled him. Abraham hits hard. He caught Taylor with a short straight right hand that Taylor felt but never saw. Enough with the no chin bull**** every time someone gets knockout:nono

 

Does anybody have a GIF of said right hand?

I missed the fight, had one of my own. Not asking for a stream or a copy, just a short clip of the punch that ended the fight if thats okay.

 

The whole fight is on youtube. Last two rounds:

Crazy.

Almost like AA just thought "f*ck it, I'll give it one last shot."

 

No one can criticize Taylor's level of opposition all through out his career; this fight showed his balls, going to Germany for a fight against a dreaded heavy puncher.

Too bad, he does not have the chin to go with his skills and athleticism.

 

I think he has a reasonable chin. Stamina is his major problem really.

 

A loss to an undefeated champion is hardly reason to retire.

Otherwise, Kessler would't be in this thing.


Remember, every single one of Jermain's losses have been to undefeated fighters.

And in two of those losses, he had the fight in the bag at some point.

 

Amazing how much 30 seconds changed his career. If he stands up against Froch he wins, and if he stands up against Abraham it was at least a decent effort.

He's 30 seconds between still being an elite fighter and now on the precipice of retirement. A cruel sport.

 

**** i didnt realise abraham had it in him, impressive.

back to the drawing board taylor

 

I hope if Taylor takes another beating (win or lose the fight) he might think about giving up, im not a big fan of JT, but i respect any guy who stands against another in the ring. Most guys retire 2 or 3 too late!
