What I don't get is that Taylor gets slammed because Joppy ran ... Joppy ran the last half of the fight because Taylor kicked his ass in the first half. Joppy tried in the first few rounds and got knocked down and bloodied for his efforts, then he ran.
Edouard fought another guy who had never fought anyone and engaged in a slugfest. FOTY HAH! Two nobodies in front of 150 people slug it out, you can go to almost any Indian Casino on a Friday night and see that.
Eric gives a good argument and it's easy to listen to because he is very knowledgeable about today's boxers. But Jay if think a FOTY happened between two guys who have fought absolutely no one, just because they slugged it out then .......
Back to the arguement about Rowland. I've at least heard of Rowland and his last victory was against one of Ring Magazines "Next" fighters. But he doesn't knock anyone out so I can see how he's not interesting. The clip Eric posted of Edouard only showed me that he has power to knock out a nobody (although Eric thought Gibbs was good, Ring magazine thought Mendoza was good) and can take a punch from a guy who had knocked out 14 nobodies.
Like I said I hope this is as big of a test as Eric thinks it is.
Edouard - Gibbs FOTY .... still laughing about that one.
