        He shouldn't have been here in the 1st place, it's not a Super 6 without Pascal and Bute, two champions in the division. It's a fraud to call it super 6 and 2 non champions are participating, Dirrell and Taylor.
        I dont think Pascal can make 168 anymore. But Bute was a good replacement for JT.

          Pascal has a LHW belt, genius.

            I definitely wouldn't mind seeing Taylor retire after this. The ending to most fighters' careers is sad and disappointing, and this would be no exception, but it's better to get out while you can still feed yourself make it to the bathroom without help from a nurse's aid. Taylor has his young kids to think about.

            Plus I'm not sure I can handle watching any more of his fights, especially if/when he goes on to fight Kessler. It's like watching a train wreck when one of your friends is on board.

              Hope Jermain retires now.

              I'm not suggesting that Jermain is not suffering from a concussion, but I wonder if this sort of things helps him release from the chains of the contract. Maybe a fighter can only get out if they have concerns over health or guarantee they want to retire. That constitutes a legitimate exit maybe.

              Like could a fighter just say, screw this I'm done with this tournament and go fight somewhere else. They would be in some legal trouble no doubt.

              Lou Di Bella's remarks in Fight Camp 'Allen Green is available' comes back to bite him. I was thinking last night it would be really ironic if it did. Terrible.

              I'm just talking mindless nonsence. Its 6.30am and I'm upset!

                  Wasn't a good punch...you wanna take his place in receiving that mang?
                  Yea Taylor should step aside. I mean I think he still could have a shot beating Ward Dirrell Froch..dunno about Kessler yet...if he didn't get KOed like this. But hopefully he has been smart financially if he does retire.

                    Jermain didn't see it coming, and those punches are are often the ones that turn your lights off.


                    I was rooting for Taylor big time.

                    Good luck, Jermain.

                      Not that good of a punch? Abraham can ****, and it was a very hard straight right, exactly on the button. I'm surprised he wasn't out cold for several minutes, and he probably would've been if he hadn't been in probably the best shape of his career.

                      Anyway, he'll be fine. The short term memory loss is normal from a concussion injury like that (know this from personal experience), he'll be fine tomorrow, but probably won't ever remember what happened...might not even remember the last round or two. It happens.
