The way he crumpled from that punch was worrying. I mean it was a great shot but he has taken equally hard blows ok before this. I think the Pavlik and Froch fights really wore him down and Abraham may have taken his scalp.

It was ugly as hell, I looked away from the stream because I knew he wasn't getting up, but what if the round finished? People would probably say:

"Hell he did his best, Abraham was much stronger than him so I'm impressed he hanged with him that far, Taylor gonna school of his opponents"

Am I lying?

I disagree. He went to the hospital due to a concussion and has short term memory loss.

He's faced a lot of top fighters over the past few years and this was supposed to be a reboot to his career. He seemed frustrated and dejected during the fight, and IMO, he's got nothing left to fight for but pride, and it's not worth risking his health.

I love Jermain and he fights with heart till then end, his KO losses have been bad, but he face the best of the tournament and the remaining don't punch nor can put him in trouble like Abraham did, hell I have Taylor over Froch if the rematch were to happen, I say go on because you can do it and you can retire after the tournament Taylor, your #1 Mighty_Windir

Are u crazy? if he gets knocked out again he could end up leaving the ring in a box! he needs to retire he doesnt have it anymore

I actually thought he was doing OK. I mean I could see around 4/5 rounds going to him - he just needed to drop the right hand more.

I mean Abraham sits in his Clottey Shell and doesn't really do too much. Someone dropping a right hand on him (he doesn't actually move his hands to block the punch) will score all night long.

Yeah man, it's tough. I'm a big Taylor fan, and that was hard to watch last night.

**masta** · 10-18-2009, 09:09 PM

I don't think it's good for Taylor to continue. The man has got knocked out badly in three of his last five fights. He's had some good wins but it's time to call it a day.

I feel bad for JT,I think he needs to retire,I don't wanna see him end up like Mildrich!!

It can happen to anyone, continue Jermain..
