Former undisputed middleweight champion Jermain Taylor (28-4-1, 17 KOs) has made a decision regarding his future boxing career. Taylor, who was a participant in the SHOWTIME Sports World Boxing Classic, was KO'd October 17th by Arthur Abraham in Berlin. In his previous bout, Taylor was KO'd by Carl Froch. Both fights were very exciting and Taylor had an early lead.
In 2007, Kelly Pavlik KO'd Taylor to win his WBC and WBO middle weight titles. As a sports photographer for HBO, I photographed 2 of Jermain Taylors bouts, traveling to Little Rock and Pittsburgh. He is a great fighter, a true gentleman and a real class act, in and out of the ring.
