    Before the fight i thought Jermaine Taylor could fight on in the second round of this tourney because he had Ward next but now im not so sure. After tonights performance he might have another beating waiting for him in the next fight. I personally think he should quit but i dont want Allen Green in this thing either. What ya think?

    He signed for 3 fights and knew very well what he is getting into and that he might lose the first one, so he may very well fight the next 2 fights as well. And since now we have seen Wards best punch is the headbutt, why shouldn't Taylor outbox him? Taylor can't stand a punch but Ward doesn't have a punch, so the chances are good, and if Taylor wins he can still try to dance around Kessler and win the 3rd fight too...

    well i didnt think he should fight on in the first place.... but since he has decided to, then go full steam ahead.

    To be honest i might not watch that fight.... im not just gonna sit around and watch taylor get beat up, i dont see how he can win to be honest, i just dont. I think he will be picked apart after about round 5.... but i would love it if he could pull this one off.

    Now that I have a better idea of where each of the six fighters stands I'm leaning toward the idea that JT should stay for one more fight.

    Jermain looked pathetic against Abraham, but over time I have seen a few fighters who made some pretty stunning come backs, and it is now obvious that if Jermain Taylor could somehow get his old mojo back, he'd be the best fighter in the tournament. There is a huge ability gap between the JT who beat Hopkins, and the other five fighters.

    However, I have a bad feeling about Taylor continuing, and yet, God Damn it!! If JT has got one more in him, I would love to see him beat the living **** out of that cheating religious fanatic.

    I think ward showed more power than most expected and he can stop taylor as the rounds wear on

    Taylor will beat Ward, if his self-confidence hasn't gone completely down the drain - which could very well be the case after two KO losses in a row.

    He was always over hyped. Without the gift decisions against Hopkins and Wright, he'd be another ordinary contender, nothing more.

    He's gonna get knocked out again against whoever he faces.

    He should fight on. Ward is not a big punche. He hit Kessler alot with hands and heads, but Kessler was never seriously hurt.

    Bull****! Ward busted up Kessler's face with intentional head butts that started in the second round, and the fight was stopped on cuts that came from intentional head butts. The fact that a cheating scumbag religious fanatic was allowed to rob a champion of his title by constant fouling discredits the entire sport.

    he signed for 3 fights but his health is more important than his contracts he signed...i think he should retire and let someone take his place...

    We both know jermain isn't fu34ing with andre...jermain dont have the power nor speed to "outbox" andre...
