Soliman vs Jermain Taylor

[diddy]

All Soliman has to do is punch a little bit on the inside and it's an easy fight for him. Taylor is barely throwing.

[ikorolev]

A shopworn former champ vs. an energetic guy who can't box.

Spot on...

Soliman is not so energetic tonight. If it keeps going like that, a couple judges can give a win to Taylor.

[diddy]

3-2 Taylor

[giacomino]

I'd have Taylor up at the halfway mark but seriously, does it matter. Neither guy would be competitive with Quillin, let alone 3G

[ikorolev]

4-2 Soliman

[diddy]

4-2 Taylor

Teddy acting like SS is the boss in there. He is clearly behind for me.

[JCS]

I'm kinda disgusted in myself from changing my PTBF pick to Soliman based on the thoughts of the "all knowing" here and the doubts of my own knowledge by hardly ever watching Soliman.

[giacomino]

Teddy's scorecard, btw, is idiotic. Not surprising.

I believe you are right. Taylor may actually "catch" him with one of those right hooks...

[diddy]

Taylor has this in the bag. Fight is all his.

Soliman is complete garbage.

Felix Sturm should be ashamed of himself.

Taylor up 4 pts.

Soliman has Sergio legs.

[JCS]

God damnit.

[jujigatame]

Holy crap, Soliman limping around the ring. It's practically in the bag for JT at this point. For what it's worth, these guys are both terrible. How did Sturm lose to Soliman twice?

[ikorolev]

Another old middleweight with damaged legs is going to get stopped.

[N2 Shape]

Im just following the comments here not watching the fight, but thought Sam would give Taylor problems with his awkwardness and constant volume of punches hes been known for clearly hes not letting his hands go and his legs are cheating on him?

In anycase if Taylor wins this for the sake of his LIFE he should be kept far FAR away from Golovkin! In fact any Top 10 ranked Middle

[JCS]

Soliman damn near decapitated on that one, but he pops back up. Can't believe I wavered and picked this bum to win.

[crusader]

He's hardly a bum. There is clearly something wrong with his leg and he's falling even when he's not hit.

[diddy]

Teddy's scorecard made me laugh out loud. This is a wipeout.

I fear for Taylor's life against Quillin.

[giacomino]

I guess the winner of this will get a nice paycheck losing badly to N'Dam

[JCS]

He's hardly a bum. There is clearly something wrong with his leg and he's falling even when he's not hit.

He's a tough guy, but he doesn't even have the skill of a way past his prime Taylor.

[crusader]

He's not really a skillful guy, just a tough guy who typically fights with a very high workrate from start to finish. I thought Taylor was winning regardless, but the leg is making Soliman look worse than he is.

[ikorolev]

Taylor is pathetic. Can't do anything with one-legged man.

[diddy]

I dont wanna hear about the leg. He was doing nothing with 2 legs. He sucks.

[crusader]

He was certainly doing better with two legs.

[eastezrider]

"Life is strange..."
Profound words indeed Teddy...

I mean really? ESPN won't show a Ring Girl; but will subject me to the anti-intellectual babel of Teddy Atlas?

[giacomino]

I dont wanna hear about the leg. He was doing nothing with 2 legs. He sucks.

They both suck tonight. Taylor's knockdowns have been BS. Maybe one decent punch landed in any of them
