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

What time does the Taylor card start? I seem to have a couple of hoodlums rolling on the floor trying grab Mr Winkie. It is unpleasant.

Oh, ignore me. I see the rolling men have gone.

The lesson learned in the past decade is knockout or lose.

Geezus, Jermain has a tattoo of 2 dog tags around his neck? WTF is that all about. lol.

Here we go with Hearns-Lara, I wonder if Tommy is in Ron's corner.

I gave Francois every round. His name won't be remembered but he was robbed of a clear win as big as Abril was robbed from where I sat. Phoney "just take it and shut up mr opponent" draw aside.

Bad stoppage.

Hey girl, good thing you smiled when you said that. :(

Haha, I actually chuckled when I saw her say that! ;D

While i'll agree that the Texas boxing commission, ref, judges, et al, need an overhaul, I don't agree with a lot of the other criticism the State gets. I've lived all over the U.S. and I can honestly say this, there are far worse places to live than Texas, and living here has worked well for me.

---

No need to defend Texas, bro. It's a cool place and needs no defending. It's the boxing commission there that sucks. Also, I can't stand the Dallas Cowboys (I only like the cheerleaders), but other than that..........

;D

---

I think they're all just jealous, ;)

Wow!

Damn domination.

Wow, 1st round KO for Lara, I didn't expect that, Lara is the real deal.

That was a bit quick. Lara looked evil.

Hearns just got James Shulered

I bet Paul Williams wants no part of Lara-Williams II.

He certainly didn't get his flowing punches ;D

Showtime doesn't do swing bouts do they?

You want the truth? Chemito is the truth!

He better reconsider his career now or he'll also inherit pops power of pronunciation

respects to the Hitman...he'd still flatten my ass with that right ;D

Taylor looks to be in great shape, and he's got a neurology clearance from the Mayo clinic, so we shall see. I watched Jermain get knocked out cold by Pavlik & Abraham, I don't care what the Mayo clinic says, severe concussions cause brain damage, there's just no 2 ways about it.

Tommy was an amazing warrior, even after getting destroyed by Hagler he said some in the post fight interview like: "Let's do it again". He went all the way from Welterweight to Lt. Heavyweight, not many pugs do that.

This is a bit dull. Not much happening in this one so far.

I like the advice given by Tom. He seems like a solid, knowledgeable type.

Agreed big time. But I think he should have got out much earlier, after Barkley even. Too much chasing worthless trinkets at multi weights, but when your a legend and star it has to be hell to let go of that well earned shine easily.

Truax hasn't done too badly so far, I get the feeling though, that Taylor is going to lower the boom on him in the next round or 2.

4-0 Taylor.

The fight is getting better, but Truax really needs to start opening up more if he even wants to win a round.

It's a shame that Tommy didn't do better with his ring earnings, he seems to have blown most of it He might be one of those good hearted fools who gave most of it away.

Jermain has tons of ring experience, Truax is just doing the best he can, he's pretty limited as far as what he can do.

Boring. Throw some fricking punches short bald man.

Barry Thompkins and Gerbil Farhood work well together, they're easy to listen to, and not the least bit annoying.

I reckon we'll get another dose of Gus Johnson tomorrow night.

Jermains eyes looking rough and he's getting that 'robotic' stiff look. Career wise he's really just treading water waiting on a phone call. Like the dude but man, tick tock...

Oh fuck, Taylor knocked down and he looks hurt.

:-\ fuckin A son....finish -this- fight and g.e.t t.h.e h.e.l.l OUT!

Finally the fight comes to life. Taylor looked fucked on the floor. 'Here I am again' he was thinking. Taylor is lucky he is fighting a guy that doesn't fight inside or throw punches. This is an opponent who is unknown. Oh dear.

Taylor making it so ugly. I would dock points from him.

That was scary, I thought Taylor might be done after the KD in the 9th round.

Taylor buzzed again off right...he'll get this win but if ever we are seeing cannon fodder to come its Taylor...I almost blame Showtime if the feature him vs a name

Stupid fight. Dull for the large part and Taylor winning but showing the same weaknesses and clinching like a homo for most of the second half of the fight. He should have been warned and docked. I wanted Taylor to win, but I thought he looked like crap in the end.

Haha, got up and did his thing? Deluded.

He got up and clinched like the second coming of Ruiz.

Taylor needs to be saved from himself...sorry bro but he sounds like a dellusional fool living on pride alone in that interview. I don't want to see him fight again

Has Jermaine Taylor been smoking meth?

Jesus, the guy is raving. Just talk man, stop shouting all over the place. He's like me after 9 pints.
