Was Jermain Taylor in good shape?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Your just making excuses cos Taylor got beat by a white guy.

If you go to the "head vs. Heart" thread, I THOUGHT Jermain would get the decision, but I WANTED Pavlik to win via 9th round KO.

Try again, genius.... that racism issue is just YOU.

I had Pav for this fight as well.

Funny how some white folks react to when a white guy wins though.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

I dont buy that for a second. Jermain was still fighting at a fast pace when he got stopped.

You didn't see him punch himself out in round 2?

No worries. My experience is that white Americans (on the whole) are FAR more insecure, and therefore racist, than Black Americans.

Just from spending a lot of time with both.

THANKS FOR THE AVI LOVE... I DO IT FOR YOU GUYS.


On to the fight... Jermain has fought Hopkins twice and also Winky. JT has had big PPV fights. If anything, HE should have been the one who was poised and in control of his emotions. He was the champion and has been in the limelight for a long-ass time.

He should not have been hyper.

I'm sure you guys agree.

ofcourse, I made a whole thread about it last night saying that Im shocked he was like that and I was even more shocked that in there statement fight, Steward would allow him to come out like that when Manny is always the biggest guy who rips fighters for doing that when he's announcing

Hey Dios, is that Coco? The body and hair looks like her's but the face looks slightly different

I'm not sure how nervous Taylor was, but he was doing a ton of movement like that cause he was against a huge volume monster puncher. For a while he was successful in slowing down Pavlik's huge punching output but by the 6th, he couldn't get away anymore and Kelly started getting off more and more punches. All that movement was evidently his only hope.

Taylor went balls out in the second cause he probably thought he wouldn't get another chance and obviously didn't. He still stayed busy up until the round he got knocked out in, and never looked like he was blown up. He looked like he was in great shape and was never that busy of a fighter to begin with. He impressed me as I think most of us had to pick our jaws off the floor when he actually hurt Pavlik.

That's exactly it!

Nah.... Coco is an overall bigger chick. This is a girl from the Bronx.

Actually I don;t believe Dios can pick a white fighter over black fighter in a direct head-to-head match-up. I still think he picks Winky over Pavlik, but maybe I am wrong cause Winky's colour isn';t that dark, he is closer to white than to black.
