tonight, thanks for reminding me.. I'm going for taylor to be ahead on the scorecards and get stopped in the 11th round !
Its on now. Really can't see Taylor keeping up with that work rate and may end up with both eyes closed and cut. He has a punchers chance, and his straight right will be live early though. I like Taylor, good guy but not sure he should be fighting at all really.
Taylor is no longer elite. But I don't think he's totally shot. He's passed all his medical tests. I think it's a 50-50 fightQuote:

Not a complete shell yet, just don't see need to push it with him showing stiff legs and eating clean shots. I'd jump at a shot also, but Taylor is on memory, a good right hand and huge pride alone I think.Quote:

1-0 Taylor on stuffing jab a few times. Sam watched that round from the porch. Stop smiling...fight
Was that a knock-down :confused:
Doesn't exactly have the makings of much, but seems like Taylors fight to lose. Up 2-0 on the virtue of not much, he just needs to box.
1-1 even up. Taylor starting to react and be on a leash more, jittery. Soliman def showing respect for power though
Soliman starting to gert that right through ;)
2-1 Soliman. Ugly, but sticking short shots on Taylor who is throwing arcing right like his glove is soaking wet
3-1 Soliman. Taylor needs to get it going, jab! You can see him thinking out loud, not doing :cwm13:
Yeah I have it 2-2 with Soliman starting to be a lot more effective. Taylor smothers his right hand and it goes over the top every time.. Seems like he should be able to land.
Nice right by Taylor to end that round :)
I hope Quillin gets ktfo in his next one
3-2 Soliman with Taylor waking up, two decent combos. Sam is froggy and will turn judges off with that shat. He's too straight up regardless of Teddy comparing him to Mercury ;D ???
3-3 even up..Taylor has that Bow & arrow one-two working in 6th. Good stuff!!
Big round for Taylor in the sixth. Landing his right :D
Best round by either guy for Taylor there.. He really should be landing those rights down the middle every time. That was a knockdown at the end of the round as well, Solimans gloves touched.
Froggy just got dropped :stars: Big rounds for Taylor!!
Soliman needs to go to war...stop fooking around. Taylor just stuffed him HARD end of round, 4-3 Taylor +kd
Replay shows elbow and forearm ;)Quote:

Hate to say it, but I'm thinking Soliman just SUCKS at this point.
WE're like 5 rounds away from Taylor holding a title, momentum on his side a sam might not see 12. Wonder if Pavlik is drunk in a bar somewhere hoping Taylor wins it so he can come back and make some bucks , surely he must be borderline broke by now
That leg looks bad, upset on the way :o
OHHH Damn like momma says :o Guy is on a stilt alone, one leg Charlie. Go to the ropes son?
This is depressing, Taylor should absolutely be able to end it.
Dr called in, is so awesome doesn't even look at injured leg :-X lets Soliman continue ;D
Taylor should press a KO, this is all but over and leg will give out yet again. Taylor a champion...holyshit man :cwm3:
Soliman's gonna wish Steve Smoger was the ref tonight. Smoger would never stop the fight with a guy trying as hard as Soliman.
In the Dawson Karpency fight the doctor was in the corner worrying about Dawson's left hand. Smoger told the doctor Dawson was fine and that he wasn't throwing his left as "strategy"!
Taylor just got knocked down at he bell...
Did Taylor go down hard at the end of that round :o
never mind lol
This ref is an asshole.
That Doctor was an idiot looking at the overhead arena monitor, hoping he could get a recording.Quote:

Decent hard job and execution by Taylor, Soliman gets the moral victory but Taylor will hand this trinket off rather quickly and probably at the end of a brutal ko. Chins don't improve with age and wear
Edit...Respect where respect is due. Good for Taylor! Please do not fight Golovkin..
