He's got a point!!! What point...Taylor did not do anything the entire fight. He no he lost and so did his trainers. HBO was too bias about this fight!!! Those punch stats were bogus as hell. Taylor looked gun shy and confused the entire fight. It was a \n ugly fight but Spinks clearly won!!! As PBF what say, "Easy Work."
Exactly my thoughts, Taylor did absolutely squat. I give him this, he landed the harder punches but he was suppose to. But, how often? I seen him land flush punches maybe every 2-3 rounds. Spinks landed less power punches, but was more aggressive. Spinks style is almost identical to Floyd Mayweathers, "HIT" & "NOT GET HIT". Spinks controlled the fight with his Right Jab, counter punched when the chance presented itself. While Taylor, on the other hand did not do anything. The last round he let it out, and hardly touched Spinks.
Styles make fights. I knew coming into the fight that Spinks had the potiental to make JT look bad. Elusive, southpaw. I like Jermain Taylor, he seems like a good guy, but he was handed a couple of gifts in his fights with Winky and B-Hop. Now he can't put down a guy that Judah smashed at 147? Thats not a good look. Once again, I actually like Taylor, but the face of the middleweight divison? The man has one of the beat jabs in the game, but he seems at times like he can't throw a combo to save his life.:wtf:
If Taylor wants to save his career sord of speak he needs to fight Pavlik immediately like he really impressed us all who wouldve known he wouldve dominated Miranda so early.
Not #1 but it was bad.
#1 for me will always be Ibragimov- Brock.
That fight was boring, but it was outside in Vegas on a hot day, almost 100 degrees, so there is at least reason for the clinching and low activity rate.
Both of these guys could have thrown punches and made the fight exciting but they just...didnt.
It was bad.
lol, haha.
Fuck sake, Taylor got it.
Taylor pissed me off, but fuck it, Cory danced like a prat for the last round and pissed me off with his taunting. Taylor was mega frustrated, shouting at the camera when he won.
'You wanna be champion and you run from me?'
He's got a point.

taylor was already in the works to fight calzaghe so it shouldn't be looked at as he is ducking palvik... palvik has made a name for himself... i didn't see the fight but a UNDEFEATED WHITE middleweight with KO and SKILL from AMERICA he could be great for boxing if he is the real deal
I laugh at the people who say that Jermain Taylor would beat Joe Calzaghe.
Joe would dominate Taylor, speed and power. Hopefully Taylor is naive enough to take the fight.
After the fight Taylor runs his mouth like he did something?
This guy is a joke!
There is no way he is going to fight Pavlik, I bet he vacates the title and moves up!
PUSSY
Yeah good prediction.
Taylor vacates, moves up to fight Calzaghe in September.
Taylor gets destroyed UD.
Was Taylor Spinks the most boring fight you ever saw
This has to be one of the most boring if not the broingest fight i had ever seen all it was just running around like litle crazy girls and not enough punching whats your take on this
Taylor is a bum, I dont get boxing at all anymore. Spinks threw 200+ more punches then Taylor and landed 15 less. Taylor would landed a solid shot every 2 rounds, yet he wins? & these HBO clowns are nutthugging Taylor only because he's on HBO. Emanuel Stewart even knew Taylor was losing that's why he was screaming at him the last half of the fight. Spinks did exactly what Mayweather did against De la hoya, run&hit yet he loses. Jim Lampley bashing that judge that had it 117-111 for spinks is rediculous, how is ok when another judge had the same score for Taylor based on what? landed a clean shot every 2 rounds.
This is why boxing is dieing, the judges ruin it. They need to make up their minds on what they are scoring is it going to be aggression,landed shots,defense, or what.
I love the way he avoided the Pavlik question, if he fought Pavlik like that he'd get TKO'd in less then 5 rounds.
Yeah they're interesting points. To be honest, I didn't see many of Spinks's hits landing. I thought Taylor defended well, and performed on a hit scale close to Spinks's. But then there's the 'You need to take it from the champion' and the fact that Cory was running that had it against Spinks.
But yeah, they need to get some fuckin japanese robots over to these arenas and have them scoring the fights.
