Showcase fight for the Dirrell brothers. *smh*

 

[MC Paul Barman]

Ugh...
Truax did great for being an MN based fighter. Exceeded most expectations.... but a fight for Dirrell?? Nope.

Caparello is a big, tough dude.... but he's also the kind of guy who's going to be a slightly more mobile heavy bag for the Dirrell Pt. 2.

What happened to Jermain Taylor? Legal issues aside, I thought he was making a comeback.

What happened to Jermain Taylor? Legal issues aside, I thought he was making a comeback.

54 years in jail due to comeback-induced worsening of the brain injuries he suffered in the Abraham fight; scum looked the other way--coughinto a big bag of moneycough--when considering whether to re-license him, & hey presto he's shooting motherfuckers with guns.

(& that's how bad Soliman is now, he lost to a dude with his brain falling out)

JERMAIN TAYLOR-ARREST

Boxer Jermain Taylor's sentencing in shooting moved to May

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A sentencing hearing for former middleweight boxing champion Jermain Taylor scheduled for next week has been moved to May.

Taylor struck a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty in December to more than a half-dozen charges stemming from three separate incidents during the past year, including him shooting and wounding his cousin and firing a gun during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade. Taylor also pleaded guilty to a battery charge related to an incident at a substance abuse treatment facility.

He was scheduled to appear before a Pulaski County Judge Tuesday, but court documents show the sentencing was moved to May 20. Court records do not show a reason for the postponement.

Taylor faces up to 54 years in prison on a total of nine charges.

I try to watch every PBC but I'll be skipping this one. It's almost as bad as Lara/Vanes 2 card

Listened to an interview with Andre Dirrell.... and he sounds like he's slurring his words.
He's usually a pretty sharp, quick, articulate guy.

Maybe he just got back from the dentists?

Dr. Shaw-hi?

I hope they squeeze in Guzman-Rosas to the broadcast.

 

[XCuTioNeR]

We're live.

 

[The Can Opener]

Love how the highlight package shows a fight where he got his ass kicked.

I don't like either of the brothers and I have no idea why.

 

[XCuTioNeR]

Guzman-Rosas is a FOTY contender on paper.

 

[XCuTioNeR]

Don't blink.

 

[rshawneecarbon1]

I'm pretty sure this is the level that Andre Dirrell wants to stay at. Rather then challenge himself. Why not make 500k a year on fights he is a big favorit in.
