Abraham-Taylor Draws Big Ratings; Jermain Doing Well

[dstew]

Wow reading that article I didn't know Sebastian Sylvester won Abraham's old title. Who'd he beat?

Giovanni Lorenzo, IIRC.

As a Jermain fan, it really hurt me to watch that fight. His stamina seemed much better but his game plan was slim to none. Someone mentioned earlier that his plan was probably to target the body as early as possible with AA's guard being so high, which is good, but those low blows he was getting called on took him out of that game plan. Therefore, he pawed with his jab and threw a combination here or there trying to win on work rate alone.

Taylor needs to bring Pat Burns back, or get another notable trainer who can really help him with his confidence and knows his ****.

Brother Naazim anyone?

A new trainer can't change the damage that has already been done. If Taylor is set for life moneywise he should definitely retire.

It's nice to see the class and concern coming from Abraham and his team. It's greatly relieving to hear that Taylor is doing well. As much as I want Taylor to regain prominence, I think he should seriously reconsider his career. I've said before that he should retire, but I'm not one to tell him what to do. I just hope whatever he does, all is well for him in the end.

I think JT have good managment around him unlike G-Man.

I think if JT was not doing will it will effect alot on AA. Because if he didnt it the guilt will eat AA alive.

I think JT should relax and try something else. Because he is taking alot of punishment.

As for the KO, I would say it came from under the block and nobody would have though the punch would go there. The punchs you dont see will probably higher possiablity on KO. If you notice before that punch he took the left hook verry well.

I hope Taylor calls it quits. Even if he ain't lost the heart to keep fightin, he lost punch resistance. I don't wanna see him get in serious jeopardy by fightin on.
