Middleweight title holder Sam Soliman is favourite for his bout with former unified champ Jermain Taylor but the American still poses a huge threat despite his health and personal issues.
Taylor was sidelined for a year after a bleed on the brain and although his decision to box on may be questionable his boxing ability should remain. Taylor's recent involvement in a shooting is another distraction but if the man from Arkansas can put it out of his head he stands a very good chance of winning this fight.
Soliman is rock who is unlikely to get knocked out and his high work-rate wins ensures he always banks rounds. Although his ko rate is only 32%, his relentless pace will get to Taylor eventually. Taylor has been stopped three times late on and I think Soliman can repeat the result, if not it could be a toss up for the decision.
