Jermain Taylor back @ middleweight Dec. 30th

[Mars_ax]

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.

If anyone is interested this card starts tonight @ 11:00 PM ET or about 3 1/2 hours from now.

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.

When on earth is this fight? It's getting well late. I'm delaying my lunch for this, I thought it was due to start 20 minutes ago?!

The 3 fight card is starting right now, first up, Luis Garcia vs. Alexander Johnson.

[Mars_ax]

Tarver and Menefee calling the action.

[Spicoli]

Triple header...I'll take it. The energy and expressions between Ramos and Johnson standing in corners couldn't be any more different

[Mars_ax]

Garcia should make quick work of Johnson.

[Gandalf]

Ah, nice one. First fight underway. I can't see out the year without a little boxing.

[Spicoli]

Garcia looks stock still and like he packs bricks in both hands... square and deliberate though.

[Gandalf]

Garcia looks pretty open, but Johnson looks uncomfortable and won't throw. Garcia 2 up for me.
