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.
