Taylor impressed me in post-fight interview

Why would he wish Lampley well? Is he moving on? I think it had to do with Lampleys absence over the hip replacement...I thought that was very cool him wishing him well ( a speedy recovery most likely ;) ). It showed that he thinks of other people than himself, which is rare in the sport

He really seemed to care about where he made mistakes and how he might improve. He seemed reluctant to admit that he'd dominated the fight. He talked about the preparation his team had made before the fight and how they shaped the uppercut strategy. And then he wished Jim Lampley well. All around, he presented himself as a classy, intelligent, hard-working young fighter. Why would he wish Lampley well? Is he moving on?

yea JT looks like he has his stuff together

i think most boxing fans appreciate it when a fighter is classy. however, it might draw a bigger audience if taylor were meaner though. the general public loves drama

I knew he'd kill Crappy! All Crappy did was run and grab his nuts! If he would have fought Taylor would have knocked him out! He doesn't deserve to be on a telivised fight ever again, cause that is 2 fights now where he did this! Taylor is the future of the Mids! The next superstar in boxing!

I know people who work in PR for football, and then PR people tell the players to say certain things, and I have a suspician that Taylor was told to say that in his post fight interview. Either way, it was a classy thing to say, and I mean that in the way that a classy strip club only have private dances, not lap dances. I doubt it really....he's always been very gracious in his post fight interviews. He's not one to trash talk either..so that being all 'him' isnt too hard to imagine; not for me anyway

I didn't know but I guess he had hip replacement surgery at one time, and was out due to some sort of complication involving this. I sympathize because my dad has hip problems due to a car accident from when he was a kid and it's really hard on him. He's contemplated the surgery but it's a really tough procedure. Hummm..Jim is a pretty young guy still. Its strage that he would be having such problem at this age. I hope everything works out for him, hes a great commentator.

i didnt see the fight. Whats wrong with Lampley? I didn't know but I guess he had hip replacement surgery at one time, and was out due to some sort of complication involving this.

i didnt see the fight. Whats wrong with Lampley? Something about a problem with his hip replacement surgery. They said that he'd be back next week for the PPV fight.

All people try to do is find ways to talk shit about him. At least he knows he has things to work on and I respect that when a young fighter is critical of his performance and finds ways to improve himself. I hope he fights a top 5 contender next. Keep on truckin' Jermain!

Lampley does have his bad days but I think without him the HBO crew feels a bit empty. I actually think the team of Lampley, Merchant and Jones is a pretty good one much better than Showtime's crew.

Man, that was brutal. During the fight they just pretended that Lampley was still there, and didn't try to fill the dead air with any additional commentary. I don't blame Steward for this: Merchant was techincally the "play-by-play" guy. The pre-fight stuff was awful with him at the helm. Agreed...never thought I'd miss Lampley! I'm glad Manny was there atleast...add a little knowledge and authority..he too was too quiet. :confused:

Indeed, Taylor a nice "breathe of fresh air" in the current day of narcicism. Did anyone else feel like they were about to just mute the TV completely due to the fact Lampley wasn't there? God my ears were bleeding listening to that old jackass. Man, that was brutal.

Yeah I agree on that!

All around, he presented himself as a classy, intelligent, hard-working young fighter. Oh yes, he's definately one of the 'good guys' ;) It's refreshing when a fighter gets up there and talks about the improvements he could make, etc...instead of how great he thinks he is...very nice! :)
