    BTW bad draw robbery on the ESPN 6 rounder "swing bout", unbeaten Le Harve got a boxing lesson but also a draw.

    Agreed Gaz, another robbery. Disapointing for the kid, **** record and gets a relatively impressive win and Dick Turpin'd.

    Hearns Jr really does have an egg mandible.

    Taylor's jab is on point. Against a guy right in front of him it has to be said.

    Only criticism would be I just wonder if he's a little gunshy. He's not letting his right hand go as he used to. I suppose he's conscious of past errors as far as conditioning, but he really should be letting it go.

    Plus we need to see how he reacts when he gets hit by a world class fighter again.

    Apart from that he looks fairly sharp all things considered.

    Looks like Taylor is going to see it through. He's ****ed at a decent level though IMHO.

    He's talking a load of trash in the post fight interview. He's KO waiting to happen at world class.

    He got knocked down heavily. Showed a lot of balls to survive but if its happening at that level then its a bad sign.

    Awful stoppage in the Stevenson fight. Really, really bad although he may well have ended the fight properly had it been allowed to go on.

    Taylor's done, guys. If Pat Burns and Lou DiBella care about him as much as they say they do then they should walk away.

    How did Jermain look last night, missed the show.

    Lara's KO of Hearns was impressive, even if Hearns is nothing special and has a bit of a dodgy beard.

    not good looked flawed, got dropped by a clubfighter then gave a puzzling postfight interview
