Associated Press - January 10, 2004


UNCASVILLE, Connecticut (AP) - Jermain Taylor knocked out Alex Rios only 54 seconds into their fight Friday, winning with an overhand right.

Taylor's first-round victory was a decisive win for the undefeated middleweight prospect, who wanted the fight to be a tuneup for a middleweight title shot this year.

Yes it seems like the opponent wasn't really good enough,as he said wanted the fight to be a tuneup for a middleweight title shot this year,hand picked fights are the worse how was that a tuneup? he should have at least gone 5/6 rounds to get something out of it.
