Taylor-Nicklow, Dirrell-Cuningham, Garcia-Johnson SHO RbR & Discussion Thread

[Slyboots]

A bit of an early stoppage, but Jermain was kicking his ass anyway.

And he could have knocked him out seconds later after the stoppage IMO. Good for Taylor, good luck to him.

[DoktorSleepless]

No need to boo Taylor. It was the ref's fault, not his.

how did Nicklow stay in there for so long?

Taylor just refused to throw his right hand and was content to just jab and move.

Looks like jt hurt his right hand early.

True. Honestly, Nicklow would have just covered up while Jermain was throwing hard shots, and it would have been stopped 5 seconds later anyway. The crowd booing was disrespectful. I'm happy for Taylor though. A great interview too. A true sportsman and a great guy.

Yeah, iffy stoppage. Still impossible to gauge where Taylor's at from that fight, but...

Whatever. Enjoying tonight's victory.

The doctor went into the Nicklow corner 2-3 times. The rest before the stoppage, you could hear him in the corner. After a doctor goes into a corner, he'll advise the ref and the ref acts accordingly. Nicklow wasn't competitive, but I want a fighter to be given as much of a shot as reasonably possible, so I don't agrre with the stoppage; that stoppage belongs in the UK.

Sebastian Zbik could be a nice step up from this.

Zbik could give JT issues without the KO threat.

Nice performance by both Dirrell and Taylor. Taylor would of Knocked out Nicklow if they ref had not of stopped it then, so it was a good stop.
