Comments Thread For: Photos/Weights: Jermain Taylor, Andre Dirrell Ready To Go

[nycsmooth]

Nicklow the perfect loser, short w/an incredibly short reach...insurance vs Jermain's scrambled brain all the 2 recent beatings he took...time doesn't heal that, it soothes it as long as he doesn't get hit again...

Cant wait!! I love Jermain and hope he does well in his comeback. Dude is a straight up fighter. He dont back down from a challenge and he fought everyone he was asked to fight. War Jermain. Also from those pics, its unbelievable that andre weighs more than him. I cant believe it

Is this because he beat Hopkins twice??? LOL nah im just playin bro, i was rooting for Hopkins, but yeah for sure i hope he makes a good comeback, he's a very likable guy in interviews, its hard not to like him, but yeah 'chin' suspect.

Ha ha yeah "beat" him. Nah, I definitely think he was robbed in the first one, no question. The rematch could have gone either way. That was BHOP's own fault though. Like I said, that chin will make every fight Taylor's in interesting. The man can box and has decent power. Had both Pavlik and Froch downed and almost beat. It's always been that conditioning thats killed him though. We'll see if what he said is true. Fingers crossed!

Dirrell's brain damage healed up nicely.

He's in fine shape though.

Dr Shaw managed to cure Dirrell's brain damage then, well done Dr Shaw....

Also, they are both 1lb over their limits? Taylor at 161+lb's and Dirrell at 169lb's, what's that about?

he didnt heal his brain, he made him rest and let it heal itself.

what do you think? taylor moved up from 160 bcuz he said he couldnt make the weight. back then he wasnt dedicated to boxing at all i know, but he has a huge frame for a MW and is 33 years old.

dirrell looks like a damn crackhead, he needed two treis to make weight against froch remember? hes got a huge frame for a 168lber too and clearly struggled to make it even to where hes at.

if you wonder why ppl let them miss weight thats as easy a question. whos jessie nicklow? whos cunningham (i just forgot his first name)? this is the chance of their lives, are they gonna give that up for 1lb? thats boxing man.. fair or not thats boxing.. im sure taylor and dirrell wouldnt mind giving up part of their purse if it came to that, this is a tune up not a pay day.

hahahahahaha I feel ya man, i thought Hopkins won both fights, close enough to go either way but yeah you nailed it, it was Hopkins fault.

If Taylor fixes his conditioning issues, he would be hard to beat i think, like you said the guy can box and his power is a little underestimated, he doesnt has a killa KO ratio but he really does throw punches with bad intentions, and a lot of punches.

I'm talking more about their professionalism rather than 'why is someone letting them get away with it'. If you're fighting professionally, regardless of who your opponent is, you should be hitting your contracted weight, no excuses. This is a come back for both guys, headlining a feature show; yet they both missed the weight? To me it says a lot about where they are mentally, they might not be all the way back into the game in their heads.

i got big hopes for dirrell, i hope he's a smarter, more offensive fighter this time around

[Bombs]

Man fuck Dirrell, I hate his coward running azz. I like Taylor though.
