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

[Spicoli]

Hearns just got James Shulered

He might have inherited his daddy's chin.

He certainly didn't get his flowing punches

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

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.

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.

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.

[Gandalf]

Boring. Throw some fricking punches short bald man.

[Mars_ax]

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.

[Gandalf]

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

[Gandalf]

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

[Gandalf]

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.

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.

[Mars_ax]

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.

[Mars_ax]

Oh fuck, Taylor knocked down and he looks hurt.

[Spicoli]

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...

[Gandalf]

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.
