ESPn reporting Taylor has a concussion and memory loss

[Eric Holder]

that was a big shot Taylor took, hope he feels better

[STILL_DETOX]

i was worried wen i saw that last right hand....


PS: change ur ****in avy plz

[johncods]

He should retire now for his own good.. hate to see a good guy and a warrior suffering some more...

[Porter's Dad]

Sad stuff. But it was always the risk with him coming into the tournament off such a bad run of fights, and being matched with a power puncher straight away. I honestly hope he is pulled out, for his own safety, and not to sound cruel, but the credibility of the tournament.

I know people on here don't like Green, and he ****** in his last fight, but I think he's a solid replacement. Bute probably has more right to be there, but I think Showtime want 3 American fighters in there, so Green makes sense.

[starjammer]

Jesus. This is really upsetting

[Grimmer]

They're saying his memory loss isn't a result of the the punch from Abraham, but a fall he had two days before the fight. Evidence of this is shown in tonight's match where it appeared he's forgotten how to box.

[Crazylegs77]

He may withdraw now...here the excerpt below..



Hey guys, I'm back. That was Lou DiBella on the phone from Germany.
Dan Rafael
(11:02 PM)


Lou said Jermain had a severe concussion and is in the hospital for precautionary reasons. He has had short term memory loss. Lou said he'll stay in the hospital for several days as a precaution. No decision has been made about his future in the tournament.

Walter (LA, CA)


What do you think will happen with Jermain?
Dan Rafael
(11:04 PM)


Really don't know but I actually think he'll probably withdraw now.
Mike Hawk (NYC)


if Taylor cannot continue who is in line to take his place?
Dan Rafael
(11:04 PM)


Probably Allan Green.

Oh no, please get well soon Taylor.
Green does not deserve this shot.

[MindBat]

Wow if JT dies before unhealthy Dan Rafael I give up on life.

Mr. President, with all due respect. Jt's job is much more dangerous than Dan's. Be happy you don't need to take punches to the noggin every so often. Unless you piss the Mrs. off.

Hope JT recovers soon.

[Chip2006uk]

3 brutal ko's....he needs to retire so he can not suffer anymore damage. class act, and i enjoyed his career, but he needs to hang the gloves up.

Agreed, shame aswell as he seemed like one of the good guys in boxing

[Shadows]

This is really worrying. I hope he's okay.

Pull through it, JT.
