Edouard to Face Taylor!

[borikua]

Sources close to the principals have confirmed that Troy Rowland is out as Jermain Taylor’s next opponent and undefeated “Haitian Sensation,” Daniel Edouard, 16-0-2 (9), is in. According to the source, both Taylor himself and HBO preferred Edouard to Rowland stylistically. Taylor vs. Edouard will be on the February 19 HBO-televised Bernard Hopkins vs. Howard Eastman undercard in Los Angeles. Edouard, the USBA middleweight champion, is coming off a fight-of-the-year candidate TKO4 over Willie Gibbs.

This is a nice sounding matchup.

I think Taylor is moving up very nicely with a few more fights he will be ready for bhop. He is just strating to put his style all together.

Taylor will get his chin checked in this fight.

****in swell. Agreed.

Seein Taylor beaten would not surprise me at all. A guy like Edouard or Soliman is so hungry, it's gonna be hard for him to deal with. If he pulls through, I'd be very pleased.

I will finally be impressed with Taylor if he can put away Edourd.Edourd is a tough young fighter and a big middleweight.I'm actually looking foward to a Taylor fight.Weird.
