Big respect for Jermain Taylor.

I tried to send this via PM but it said I don't have enough posts...

Thanks for the welcome by the way... I just moved to Dallas and was wondering if you could tell me anything about the local figh scene. Any advice would be much appreciated. I'm missing our local fight nights in Nebraska alot.. I need to get out to a fight..I like to take my young boys so it needs to be a "not so seedy" place.


Thanks,

I'll ask my buddy, as he is into the local boxing scene. His son just won Golden Gloves for the 7-9 year olds or something like that, so he is always going around to shows with his son. I'll pm you later this week when I talk to him.

Well Guys I was pretty vocal beforehand that I was rooting for Jermaine.

However, Pavlik didn't win the fight. Taylor lost the fight for himself and handed it to Kelly.
Jermaine had the right skills the right timing, the right defense....everything to beat kelly and he didn't. All he had to do was raise his output for two rounds and that fight was his.

I was fairly gutted Saturday night.

I kind of agree that Taylor should have done more in the later rounds, I don't know if he was gunshy or maybe just content to prove he was better than their first meeting suggested. I'm also dissappointed that he didn't give it a go in the later rounds, though I'm not sure that would have been enough since Pavlik seemed the fresher of the two.

i have to give taylor tons of credit, he proved that the first pavlik defeat had no effect on him and showed a good fight, good luck to him in the future at 168
