Re: Who is Taylor's sparring partner?
Well, we can all speculate (its fun ;D) but until the fighters step into the ring, you just dont know what your gonna get. I'll say this for Taylor, win or lose, hes been a man and a real competitor through all of this. He could have easily shyed away from winky like other fighters, but Jermaine aint like that. No matter what his promoters told him, in his heart he felt winky deserved a shot at his title. Fans of Taylor and Winky, or boxing fans in general should be proud that JT wants to earn his keep instead of running like so many champs do. When was the last time a champion fought 3 straight top of his division championship fights in a years time? One last point. These two guys are not just champions in the ring, they are first class gentlemen outside the ring, the kind of guys you want your kids to emulate, hard working, caring family men. I am JT all the way in this one, but when winky isnt in against jermaine, I am always pulling for him to win. They are both men that the sport of boxing can be proud of.

It is true what you said, Taylor is a gentlemen.
When you see him at Kronk he's just like one of the regular guys around. You never see him act like he's all that and you would never guess he is worth millions of dollars.
Re: Who is Taylor's sparring partner?
i was watching the countdown on tivo and i noticed that taylor was working on his footwork.
everything i've heard about taylor that has improved is his speed and how he is a bit more versatile with combinations.
i expect taylors fight plan to be something like this.
- use the jab....no jab.he's losing. PERIOD.
- when winky goes into his shell use your speed and pound on him and get out.
- set the pace.
- be the agressor
i dont care though....if taylor cannot get the jab going none of the above will happen. guaranteed.

Cant talk about secret weapon, who knows if winky Team people log on this website.
But yea he is Hella Fast.
At first he just looked ordinary in the ring and i was not impressed.
But once he really started cranking it up, Man i was hella impressed. He was nice short accurate shots that are just Beautiful to watch. He would throw a jab and then step in for a 1,2 to the body and it would just look beautiful, quick and very slick. All his punches are short which is why his speed is so well, and his straight Right looks like a killer.
what I am asking is do guys look faster on tv or live?
