ESPn reporting Taylor has a concussion and memory loss

[Blue Heffner]

He will withdraw, I hope it's true and not some publicity for a reason to withdraw. It was hard not cheering for him....

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



Hey guys, I'm back. That was Lou DiBella on the phone from Germany.

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.

What do you think will happen with Jermain?

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?

Probably Allan Green.

I hope he does retire, because i hate to see any fighter get knocked out that many times as it is not healthy. A few more knockouts like that, and he can have long term damage. I like Taylor, and I'm pretty sure no one else wants to see him continue.

[Matt Marvelous]

Please retire Jermain. Salvage what's left of a decent career and walk away.

[The Hammer]

He's got Kessler next too right?

No, he'll fight Ward in Oakland next.

[Shadows]

I hope Jermain walks away. He just doesn't have it anymore.

He was always a flawed fighter, but in this tourney, his flaws will become even more magnified (if they weren't already).

This was already predicted by a great boxing expert on this very forum on Friday

Arthur Abraham will destroy Jermain Taylor
Jermain Taylor is withdrawing from the tournament after this fight and A. Green is stepping in when the 2nd RD of fights are kicking in

**** i never get sadder when some1 loses than JT! seeing his dissapointed puppy dog face..i feel like i got ktfo! anyone feel the same?

[Breakbeat]

Jermain can do more in the sport of boxing without having to fight, I think he would be a great trainer or mentor for boxers. The guy is too nice to get beat up any more like this.

[MJ406]

back to back kayos are never good

really agree and feel JT needs to hang em up.

[Bushidō]

Damnn it!! I hope he's okay. I hate hearing news like this.

sucks to hear that stuff.
