Jermain Taylor, Middleweight Champion of the World


Tonight, Little Rock's own was honored at halftime of the Arkansas Rimrockers game. He successfully defended his belts on December 3rd by beating Bernard Hopkins for the second time. They gave away Jermain Taylor bobbleheads to the first 1000 fans but I had a connection and got one earlier in the day (Thanks Heather!). It was a nice crowd but nothing compared to the parade after the first fight when it was almost 100 degrees yet thousands of people lined the streets and filled the Riverfront Amphitheater to see and hear Jermain. That was free and the game tonight cost you at least $10 so I wish they would have done a free event so everyone could have come.
