What I'm wondering is if the IBF will push for Taylor vs N'dam, since N'dam just beat Curtis Stevens in an IBF title eliminator bout, or if Taylor gets a voluntary first. I'm starting to think they will enforce it because Soliman fighting Taylor was a voluntary, not a mandatory, so the IBF just may end up spoiling Haymon's plans after all.

Looks like they are giving him a voluntary:


Jermain Taylor has four month voluntary window with IBF - Boxing News


Taylor vs Quillin it is in. What a joke.

naner12 @naner12 what were your thoughts on Taylor vs Soliman and a potential Taylor vs Quillin?
A few things on Soliman/Taylor. Whatever was going on with Soliman's knee I'm pretty sure he came in the fight with it and something tweaked it. Not sure how much in between rounds they showed but they were rubbing his legs (and his leg was propped up the whole time in between rounds) from the end of round 1 on.

My main thought is, Soliman would have been leaving with his title had that not happened to him. Taylor was thinking way too much about what Soliman was trying to do and that's never a good strategy against Soliman because it ended up freezing Taylor. I really feel for Soliman, just won his first strap at 40 and that's how he lost it.

Whoever fights Taylor next is gonna take his title.

There was some real bullshit happening on the undercard too. In Phillip Jackson Benson Vs. Michael Gbenga, Gbenga gets crushed by a nut shot goes down and the ref waves the fight off in a minute. Doesn't even try to give dude the time to recover from it.

In Steve Lovett Vs. Ricardo Campillo, Campillo crushes Lovett at the end of the 1st round and leaves him stumbling around and split his eye open only for it to get called off and be ruled a headbutt.

It's kind of a shame what happens to some of these guys off of TV and at local non televised shows. I should be used to it, but it always bothers me.

Glad to hear you saw what all of us here saw. I couldn't believe the amount of people of social media praising Taylor saying he looked awesome, he whooped Soliman and even he'll be a good test for anyone at 160, like wtf these people watching?!

Didn't really read many people talking about the fights, but I hope those people aren't scoring fights for a living because that's just ridiculous. It was a pro Taylor crowd there and some people didn't even want to acknowledge his leg, screaming that he was looking for a way out and shit.

If anyone is interested and doesn't have anything to watch, ESPN Deportes picked up Molina Vs. Bundrage.

I don't know the full details of Molina's shit but it's hard to root for someone with that kind of charge on them.

Plus K9 is such a good story it's hard not to root for the guy. Good to see him win the title back, although I'm sure whatever Charlo brother isn't fighting Andrade will be lifting that from him next.

Nah bro the ref gave him ample time. Even the commentators said he was bullshitting.

Not that fight HERESY. Believe it or not there was another fight off TV that ended that ended in a nut shot TKO. Unfortunately this dude didn't even get a minute and it was a legit hard shot, you heard that loud pop a cup makes throughout the arena.

Dude that fought Velazquez clearly wanted out of the fight.
