Arthur Abraham KOs Jermain Taylor; Joel visits Canastota




In weekend action, Arthur Abraham (of BWhit's Death is Forming stable) KO'd Jermain Taylor in the waning moments of the 12th round. Abraham earns Option A: 2, Option B: 3, and Option C: 19 with the victory. Death is Forming moves to 2-0.

In a battle of free agents, Carl Froch edged Andre Dirrell by split decision. Fans and pundits are divided on the results although most seemed to favor Dirrell. I have yet to see the fight so my opinion will wait. Froch moves to 26-0 and is a quality waiver wire option, as is Dirrell who moved to 18-1.

But the main story of the weekend was perhaps yours truly's unplanned visit to the boxing hall of fame in Canastota NY, where I struck an unthreatening southpaw pose and saw some cool stuff, including the actual ring from Madison Square Garden. Go boxing.
