![]() He served as a physical education teacher, head wrestling coach, and assistant football and baseball coach in the District of Columbia schools. He graduated from Western Illinois University in 1972 and began his coaching career at H. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2019. Taylor led the Hampton Pirates to five black college football national championships (1994, 1997, 2004, 2005, and 2006) and eight conference titles. Taylor served as the head football coach at Howard University in 1983, Virginia Union from 1984 to 1991, Hampton University from 1992 to 2007, and Florida A&M University from 2008 to 2012, compiling a career college football coaching record of 232–96–4. He is the athletic director at Virginia Union University in Richmond, Virginia, a position he has held since 2013. ![]() Joe Taylor (born May 7, 1950) is an American college athletics administrator and former football coach. James is now 4-0, yet to score a stoppage.American football coach and college athletics administrator Joe Taylor Current positionĥ Black college national (1994, 1997, 2004–2006)Ĥ× MEAC Coach of the Year (1997, 2004–2006) He didn’t do anything that will wow you here, but won all four rounds clean and clear over Pilkington (2-8-1, 0 KO). And he was a good amateur at the Youth/Junior level, winning Commonwealth gold and European silver. Eithan James PTS-4 Kris Pilkington: James is a 20-year-old junior welterweight who looks all of about 13 in his BoxRec profile photo, though in real life in 2020 he definitely looks older than he did there, I think that’s a shot from his amateur days.Davey, a junior middleweight prospect, got a clear win, 40-36 on the referee’s card, but he had to think about a few things in there, and that’s useful. Thomas had been out of action between 2012 and March of this year, but he’s back with some real spirit, and he landed some shots in this fight and gave it a go. George Davey PTS-4 Jeff Thomas: The 38-year-old Thomas (12-8-3, 1 KO) gave the 22-year-old Davey (3-0, 0 KO) a valuable little fight here.Joyce was down once in the third, and the referee stepped in as he was facing another assault. Joyce moved down to 122 in his last fight and beat a faded Lee Haskins, but Baluta rushed him in this fight and just beat him up. Baluta upset former world titlist TJ Doheny in March, and here he just trucked Joyce (12-2, 9 KO), the 33-year-old former Irish amateur standout who has now lost two of three and probably has to consider whether pro boxing is for him at this point, whether he’ll want to try coming back again or if he’d be content to stick around as probably more of a prospect checker for a while. Ionut Baluta TKO-3 Davey Oliver Joyce: This is two straight good wins for Baluta (14-2, 3 KO), a 26-year-old Romanian, now based in Spain, and both came against Irish guys, for what it’s worth.(I am told Carl Frampton on BT Sport had it 97-93 for Edwards, which is probably closer to how it went. And Williams (11-3, 3 KO) really probably did do better than the referee’s score would lead you to think, too. He’s not bad, but that top level really might just be beyond his skill set. Edwards (16-1, 6 KO) is a former titleholder at flyweight and a decent fighter, but he doesn’t have wins over any true world class type guys, and lost to Casimero at 112 already, and was going to lose to Julio Cesar Martinez. Bradley in particular pointed out a lot of what he felt were Edwards’ flaws, and advised him to “stay far away” from the top guys at 118 like Naoya Inoue, Nordine Oubaali, and John Riel Casimero. Charlie Edwards PTS-10 Kyle Williams: Edwards got the win at 99-91 here in his bantamweight debut, and I’m guessing the BT Sport commentary was a bit kinder to him than Bernardo Osuna and Tim Bradley were calling the fight for ESPN+.In short, like the fight, nothing new was learned about Josh Taylor today, but he marches on. ![]() And even if it can’t be, then it should mean one more fight for Taylor and Ramirez before an undisputed fight, if they can keep their belts. Ramirez has another mandatory in Jack Catterall, but as Catterall is a Queensberry fighter and Queensberry and Top Rank work together well, that might be able to be put off. It was, ultimately, a rather nothing win for the 29-year-old Scot, but it got him active, it took care of a ridiculous mandatory order, and it sets him up for an undisputed title fight at some point with Top Rank stablemate Jose Ramirez, who has the WBC and WBO belts. Don’t blink, you might miss KO punch #TaylorKhongsong /vkxflxSOEZ- ESPN Ringside September 26, 2020 ![]()
