Jermaine Taylor is a heck of a fighter. And the way he is going he will be great someday, but he does have the same tendency as a guy who is a great fighter -Thomas Hearns. They both make easy fights hard by making the fights into wars. Taylor gets hit too much since he is always trying to knock the guy out and his last fight was harder than it should have been. The guy hit Taylor a little and busted his face up a little. Just reminded me of Hearns yet Hearns had a better right hand then Taylor has.. Hearns did the same thing as Taylor is trying to knock a guy out and giving up defense to do it. Warrior mentality makes for a good fight and give them credit, but that wears guys out although Hearns sure had a long career.. Hearns is a legendary fighter but alot of his fights which were meant to be easy were harder because he fought guys with good chins who wouldn't go down. So Hearns would almost try his hardest to knock them out and give the other guy a chance to reach his chin since he would back up and try lining the guy up and the guy would clock him sometimes. Jermaine has the same problem. I am not comparing Jermaine to the great Thomas Hearns, but he has to be more defensive. Hearns did get defensive when he was fighting better guys. I was always more confident when Tommy fought better guys like Leonard and Hill than with guys like Kinchen or Olajide. Since Hearns always tried to knock the lesser guys out.
