Jermain Taylor back @ middleweight Dec. 30th

[Gandalf]

What a stupid stoppage. Really, really stupid. No need for that.

The referee is a dick.

[Gandalf]

I thought Taylor looked good and he explained the lack of a right hand. His jab looked really sharp. I think he needs another tune up first, maybe someone in the top 20.

[Gandalf]

Right, this is the last of me for 2011. See you all next year.

[Mars_ax]

I liked what I saw from Jermain.

G'nite folks.

Taylor looked good in there tonight aside from getting wobbled a bit from a wild looping shot to the back of the head and hitting after the bell.

I'd keep him away from a puncher for a while...but not like too many guys are gonna be hitting him behind the head.

We'll see where he goes from here. Soon it will be sink or swim time. Good luck to Jermain he's a nice guy and I've forgiven him for the two shady Hopkins gifts.

Dirrell looked sensational didn't he ?

Yeah, but Cunningham wasn't much competition, so we shall see.

[Gandalf]

Yeah, I don't think the Dirrell fight told us anything TBH. You can't tell much off of 7 jabs and 3 right hands against a pumped up journeyman. He looked alright, but I wouldn't overstate his performance in any way.

The kid has great skills, speed and power, no doubts about it, the problem really is his stamina and the violent knocked out he has had these past years.

That is what I have read. I saw the Dirrell fight and then passed out. Anytime a Taylor fight is stopped early it is automatically suspect because of his stamina problems.
