Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
I have known this for about 3 days but I could not say anything but now I can ;D
Sergio Mora and Jermain Taylor will be fighting.
There is still no mention of Date/Location.
Sergio turned down 300.000 the first time. He wanted more money and he got it.
So, it is signed, sealed and it shall be delivered.
April 21st is the talked about date.

Re: Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
Ishe said he could accept losing one point either way(like the first two scorecards) he can't except one judge having all the rounds for Mora.

Re: Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
Lets hope that for once Taylor has a decisive bout and disposes of this A** Boil of a contender ( No Pun Intended) Sergio Mora

Actually the boxing4real guys announced this fight a month ago, April I believe. ;D
I reckon Sergio will do much better than expected. If Taylor gets the stoppage it will be through cuts, but I actually fancy Sergio to go the distance with him and drop a very close decision.
You guys may think I'm crazy but I reckon Sergio has skills. He's quick, throws volume punches, fights well off the ropes and can cope with adversity.
All the ingredients to give Taylor nightmares in my opinion.
Taylor couldn't knock out 154 lb Kasim Ouma and by his own admission ran out of gas in the last couple rounds. He was almost beaten by Wright who battered his face up and closed his eye over.
Sergio will shock Taylor and go the full 12 rounds losing a decision no wider than 116-112 maybe closer.
In fact I give him a live chance of pulling this off.

Re: Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
i think taylor will knock him out. i actually think taylor is a very underrated fighter and the step up in class will be a bit to much for mora who leaves his hands too low and relies on his reflexes too much. taylor TKO in 5

Re: Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
I don't think this is going to be as easy as most of you guys think,Mora could prove to be awkward for Taylor.

How much did he get?? $300,000 sounds low for a fight against Taylor, especially when he has the Contender name behind him.

Re: Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
sergia isn't as slick as he appears. taylor should get a KO
-
Re: Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
I don't necessarily see the KO coming. From what I understand Mora gave Taylor all he could handle at Olympic Trials. From what I'm told, Manfredo fought Taylor as an amatuer, and most ringside observers had Manfredo winning, but Taylor eked out a close one. Taylor has come light years since then, but so has Mora.
I think Taylor wins via comfortable decision (most likely), or late round stoppage (less likely).

Re: Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
Mora is nothing special...at all. Taylor must really want a KO to be fighting this undeserving prick, and I think he'll get one. Taylor by KO.

Re: Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
Must be great to be an american, fight 'reality tv stars; and not get slated for it like a certain other boxer is.

At least Taylor is fighting the winner and not the guy who got sent home on the first episode

Re: Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
I think this will be another one of those fights that is closer than what the score cards will reflect. As much as I dislike Mora, he is awkward enough to give fighters problems. My only question will be if he can take Taylor's power, Mora has never been hit by anybody with Taylor's power. But it will be Taylor by UD, dont think they will allow him to lose by a decision.

Actually I reckon that Archak Turmeliksetian dude probably punched harder than Taylor, although he's nowhere near Taylor in terms of skill or ability.

Yeah that sounds about right mate.
-
Re: Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
I could be wrong but I think you guys are underestimating Mora's chin. That said I think he takes a beating for 12 rounds and loses a UD or maybe the fight gets stopped from the massive facial damage that Mora will incur.

Re: Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
i'd rather see mora fight ouma

Re: Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
Although I predict a Taylor win, I wonder how all of us will react if Mora wins, moreso if by knock out. Will we blame it on Taylor and his conditioning (or worse that he took a dive), or give Mora his props? Unfortunately for Mora and Taylor, it will be a no-win situation for both of them. If Taylor wins, it is to be expected and if he loses, they will blame it on reasons previously specified.

Re: Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
Mora said on the contender if he ever gets knocked out he's retiring from boxing.

Then I hope Taylor knocks his ass out.

Re: Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
I really haven't been too impressed with any of the contenders, a lot of them are given big fights that they don't deserve.
Mora gets to fight Taylor
Manfredo gets to fight Calzaghe
Steve Forbes gets to fight D-Hop
These are all ridiculous fights.

Actually Forbes vs D-Hop is a great matchup in my opinion. Forbes is a former world champ you know
Now John Duddy vs Anthony Bonsante on the other hand ::**
AND IT's PPV!!! :o

D-hops last fight was an IBF title eliminator. His next fight should be for the title. He should be fighting Lovemore N'dou.
Forbes had a title 6 years ago, and he is coming off of a loss.

Forbes had a title 6 years ago, and he is coming off of a loss.
He lost to a much bigger man in the Contender final. He beat 3 other fighters to get there, including K9 Bundrage.
He's a decent test for D-Hop with a couple of recognisable names on his record, which unless you count Norberto Bravo and Jesse Feliciano is more than Hopkins has.

Poor Bravo embarassed himself the other night against Berto. He kept getting up, but never got into the fight.

Lets have it right me and many boxing critics did'nt think he won Manfredo second time around

Re: Another Contender goes for a title shot. (Mora/Taylor)
Not sure who gave out the information that Taylor Mora was a close fight in the Olympics. Anyone that saw it could tell you that. Taylor whooped Mora 12-3 at the 2000 Olympic trials.
I'd hope that Taylor would kick the shit out of him...but I aint 100% sure that that's going to happen.
Mora has improved just as much as Taylor has...but Mora seems to have a bit more stamina controll going on.
Taylor's jab will control Mora just as much as it did in the games...but Mora's got a better grip on the mental aspect than Taylor, IWO.

Mora is a cocky punk who doesn't even belong in the top 10. I don't think HBO's golden boy Taylor has anything to worry bout.
