ESPN and Showtime FNF thread for April 20th - Jermain Taylor back in action

Unfortunately for Taylor, if a light puncher in Caleb Truax can put him down, a better light-punching middleweight will end his career.

Yeah, and he could end up like his namesake Meldrick.

The thing is Jermain doesn't need the money, he's made more money from boxing then he'll ever know what to do with. So why does he continue fighting, his love of boxing or glory? I think he's just a crazy ass, delusional fool, who's taken too many shots upside the head, and doesn't know when to quit.

He's a pro boxer it's safe bet he's blown his savings.

Lara/Hearns should be fun. I really don't want to see Taylor back in the ring, he was in bad shape the last time he left.

I still stand by this statement.

I believe the consensus was that the first fight on FNF was boring. I'll admit it was my first time seeing Eleider Alvarez, but he surely impressed me. For me, it was worth just seeing Alvarez in action.

Alvarez def has the clay to be molded, in perspective 8 fights is 8 fights and maybe it's good once in awhile to see a vaunted puncher not fall in love with it, find some control. He was a bit mechanical, thinking out loud but when he goes with volume to the body it's all business.

Dementia, that's a good way to put it with Taylor. It was like some angry tourettes rant. He's going to pad a record and get demolished again.

Didn't get to see the fights tonight but I hope Lara was a impressive as you all are saying. I really want this guy to at least get a couple of well deserved premium paydays but of course he'll now be considered too risky.

Lara showed some serious power, he basically just walked right through Hearns, it was like man against boy.
I don't believe Paul Williams would want any part of Lara now, that's for sure.

It looks like Vanes may have to fight Lara next
