Jermain Taylor back @ middleweight Dec. 30th

Dibella seems to have faith in Taylor.

Boxing - DiBella explains change of heart on promoting Jermain Taylor

Apparently Diabella is back promoting/managing Taylor and Pat Burns is back training him. It seems Taylor is serious about making another Championship run @ middleweight, so we'll probably hear more about the "new Jermain" Friday night.

closer we get to this comeback fight the worse I feel about it. Not that he'll lose it, but rather that he'll win this (and against another journeyman in the next fight) and then he'll get destroyed when he steps up to the big leagues.

Fighter who had stamina issues (always seemed tense in the ring which makes you tire out), brutal KO losses, and bleeding on the brain.

It is going to end so badly.

Part of being a boxing fan, but it doesn't mean it gets any easier to watch.

And the sad part is, Jermain doesn't need the money, oh well, you gotta figure he's a grown man and if this is what he wants to do, it's his call.

The fight comes on late Friday night @ 11:00 PM ET on SHOBOX, I may not be able to keep my eyes open.

If jermain doesnt use that killer jab or have enough energy to even last a whole fight, he'll beat b level fighters and get his ass beat by the top, right where he left off.

Taylor says this is the first time in his career he's ever felt 100% in shape....sad, but I hope he's right and I hope it helps.

I'm gonna try and stay up and watch this tonight, but it's suppose to be a triple-header. I'm not sure I can stay awake that long, Andre Gerbill is the co-main, he's not exactly a fav of mine.

I don't wish Jermain any bad luck, I hope he does well, I just can't remember anyone getting 'better' after they've been brutally KO'd 3 times.

I'm curious to see how Taylor looks, but every fighter says he's in the best shape he's ever been. He should win this easily enough though.

He'd better win easily, that's the only way he's going to sell himself as a middleweight contender again.
