Would've loved to see this fight. Taylor done as a big-time fighter with this lost.

Yeah. He's done. Wish I was around when this fight was on. Saw the Froch/Dirrell fight on Justin.tv as someone was streaming it. Dirrell is a LOT faster than I thought. Froch was just too much for him though.

I think Abraham will win this tournament.

As a side note, I REALLY REALLY REALLY wish they could pull off a tournament like this with the welterweights (Cotto, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Mosley, Berto, Clottey).

I like Abraham too.

That welterweight tournament would be HUGE, too good to be true. One can only dream.

I actually thought Froch didn't look to sharp, if Dirrell would have had more punching power Froch could have been put on his Arse, Dirrell landed some pretty crisp shots

He was done after Froch destroyed him.

Abraham just put him out of his misery.

Default Taylor

I have mad respect for Taylor but he has taken too many blows. I hope he retires before brain damage. I saw the fight, he was knocked out cold, absolutely no reaction. From this time forward he will Ko'd at the drop of a hat. IMO, no more fights!

Agree! He has to have amassed some money over the years, plus his wife plays for the WNBA, no point in risking your life over nothing

I agree, this last KO was devastating, he really got plugged. He should really consider retirement before he gets hurt. I like Taylor, he's a classy guy and always gave it his all even though he's fallen short a few times. I wish him the best.
