Jermain Taylor Congratulates Arthur Abraham on The Win

[ItaZY]

way to go Jermain

Please fight back i know you can win man, no body deserves it more, believe in yourself dude, much love homie.

He should at the minimum step away from the tourney. Stay away from boxing completely for at least 6 months. Search his soul and if he finds he wants to give it one more crack, baby step into it to see how he feels.

He needs rest more than anything. After the rest he can decide if retirement is necessary. He cannot jump back in with top competition again right away. He needs some easy fights. Hell he deserves them.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't have that luxury.

His contract with Showtime probably stipulates that the only way for him to withdraw from the tournament is for medical reasons or retirement. Despite his concussion, medically he will be cleared to fight again soon and so his only way out of the tourney is retirement. If he took 6 months to a year off and then decided to make a comeback, I'm sure Showtime would come after him for breach of contract.

It would not be hard for him at all to get the advice in writing from his Doctor. He suffered a very bad concussion and needs rest. lots of it.

I am sure Showtime would be understanding also on the matter. They would not want a severe permanent injury during this tourney. That would be a black cloud that would never go away.

Good to hear he's doing okay. I hope he can bounce back from this. Taylor is one guy who is in desperate need of a tune up fight.

he should retire
