Nicklow has 8 KOs out of 22 wins. Obviously they are playing this one as safe as can be.

Very interesting that he is back with Dibella, after everything Dibella said about Taylor's health etc. I believe Dibella has a lot of integrity, so he's obviously happy with the medical reports.

I've never seen Nicklow and his record is not impressive but Taylor is a Death waiting to happen...NO STATE or COUNTRY should license him, period.....

It's in Arkansas and on Dec 30th, not New Years Eve.

Another card on Dec 31st, which is Cloud-Erdei.

Taylor is washed up at this point. but, who am i to judge him for trying to get a paycheck?

While Taylor has been knocked out brutally in his last two fights, it's been 2 years since then.

I believe he has taken enough time off to come back (as he's decided), but he deserves a shot to see if he wants to fight. It's not like he's taken a lot of punishment in his career and that he has a brawling style. They're taking a soft touch in his comeback, it's not like they're going to put him with another knockout puncher in his return.

Let's see what happens. However, I doubt that he'll surpass the role of a serious contender within his next run. At best, he wins another belt and defends once or twice before retiring again.
