/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Ozell Nelson, the trainer and mentor of former
middleweight champion Jermain Taylor said his fighter has not made
a decision on whether or not he will fight WBA super middleweight
champ Andre Ward in March. Nelson says a decision may come down as
early as next week.
Taylor and Ward are two of the six fighters in Showtime’s Super Six
tournament. Taylor has had a bad two years; losing four of his last
five – and three of them by knockout. In his last ring appearance back
in October, Taylor was knocked out cold in the twelfth round by Arthur
Abraham. He was hospitalized afterwards. Last month Ward dominated
tournament favorite Mikkel Kessler to a career-defining decision win.
