I don't think the Taylor loss was as bad as it appeared

[dstew]

i meant that if it was just a normal knockout he was competitive throughout the fight and did alot of positive things to focus on keeping his morale high throughout the tourney assuming he has a strong mental game.

But the fact that he was hopitalized with brain hemmoraging means that now he has alot more than boxing to think about.

He wasn't hemorrhaging from the brain, that was a weird translation from a German article. If he was bleeding from the brain he wouldn't have been discharged from the hospital after 24 hours and on a European tour right now.

For some strange reason I believe that Froch has a good chance against AA!!Dirrell has swift feet,I'm almost sure that Froch does better if he don't gotta chase his guy all night!!

It wasn't a bad loss. He showed he could still fight. I mean I gave him at least 4 rounds so it wasn't a blowout.

because Abraham would have gotten Pavlik out quicker and it is very likely he will do the same to Dirrell and Froch. If Abraham KO's his next two opponents, I don't think Taylor should hold his head down too much over his brutal KO loss.

I agree.

Taylor fought well for nearly 12 rounds, and so has nothing to be embarrassed about. It won't take Abraham 12 rounds to KO Froch.

Taylor's loss wasn't an embarrassment. I think people were trying to hold Taylor to the media generated standard they invented for him when he first won the title. look at his carreer, even his handlers knew he needed to be protected and is why they paired him against light hitters and smaller guys. Then it took some creative scoring to keep the title until kelley Pavlik screwed it up by knocking him out. Jermain fought as good as he could and his chin did the best it could for him. He should now think of retiring so he can enjoy the millions he made and keep his brain intact. His failures have nothing to do with lack of training but genetics, he simply can't take a shot coulpled with physical endurance which exposes that chin in the later rounds. Good Luck Jermain,but please retire.
