Jermain Taylor Taps Ozell Nelson as Trainer

[braveheart31]

none of that **** dont matter taylor sucks he lost just the way i said he would and in the round i said he would and the same thing will happen the next time if he cant learn from one of the best trainers then he wont improve under someone like ozell nothing aginst him but be for real. theres a reason why ozell hasnt been training taylor hes going backwards he is done!!!!!

I honestly think this is the right move for taylor. it just wasnt working out with those two. you can have the best trainer in the world but if the chemistry is not there then your in trouble. I think him not sparring that much is what hurt him in the fight with pavlik in regards to stamina. I dont think that will be the case in the rematch if taylor does what he says he going to do. I predict taylor to win by decision. I doubt he will win by knockout because pavlik is tough and taylor will use a very cautious approach. I dont see him going toe to toe with pavlik. If he does he will suffer the same fate as the first fight.

Taylor didn't improve at all when he was with Steward, so it's probably good they split up. It seemed like a good idea in the beginning, but didn't work out.

Ozell Nelson has never been the head trainer for a pro fighter.

i think this is a very strange/possibly career ending decision. taylor has to win the rematch, if not he's the next Jeff Lacy- except with even more humiliation to go with it.
