Nicklow was beyond hand-piced w/ a reach less than a 1 armed man...Taylor will go to the point where he fights a legit top5 & get ko'd again, hopefully not permanently.

I didn't think he looked good and honestly that was a terrible stoppage.

One of the most hilarious stoppages I've seen. Up there with some of Calzaghe's.

Of cource he was going to land a high percentage against a face first fighter who blocks punches with his chin all night and who is slow as molasses.

and he was supposedly "rusty"?

Nicklow had heart, but he was a scrub...It was obvious that when he gets in the ring with someone with skills that his low left hand is going to invite a straignt right (Arthur A.) or a right hook...same O' Taylor, same O' kind of knockout.

*OG Wenger*

That guy was a feather fisted midget LOL. Come on, even for a comeback fight that guy had no business sharing the ring with Taylor.

This was the correct opponent for his comeback, no threat whatsoever to build Taylor's shattered confidence. At age 33 and with his name recognition, he can't keep fighting these type of opponents for long. Once he steps up, give him a break and don't match him against a puncher atleast.

nicklow doesnt block punches with his face, hes no defensive wizard but he isnt a face first guy either. hes slow and has no headmovement but he kept his hands up well and didnt give up free shots. taylor just did a really good job opening him up. dont get me wrong nicklow is far from a top fighter but 73% is still impressive even against a fighter of his caliber.

taylor looked good in general. forget the oponent, he should be in there with someone like that after over two years out of the ring anything else would be stupid. its not about beating the top guys yet its just about getting back in there, its a process thats gonna take a couple of fights and taylor got off to a good start.
