"I'm going to take some time off from the sport of boxing and take myself out of Showtime Sports World Boxing Classic tournament. It's important that I give my body and mind some much needed rest, because I have been boxing for nearly 20 years," said Taylor. "I plan on keeping myself in shape and making a return to the sport sometime in the future. This was not an easy decision for me, having discuss it with my family, trainer, friends and my adviser Al Haymon, because I'm a very competitive person-but I know this is the smart road for me to take. I want to thank Showtime Sports for everything and I wish the best for my 5 counterparts who will continue on in the Super Six tournament. Most of all, I want to thank the many fans for their continued support."

Here Comes "The Fighter"

Directed by David Russell, "The Fighter" is a story about Dickie Eklund (Christian Bale) helping his brother, "Irish" Mickey Ward (Mark Wahlberg) train for a championship. Based on a true story of an underdog boxer, the film will take viewers through the ups and downs Mickey Ward has faced in his tough journey.

Rocky anyone? A real life Rocky? Hell yes. Plus Bale and Wahlberg are 2 of my favorite actors so this has loads of potential. Amy Adams is in it too. This isn't about some oldie either as Mickey last fought in 2003, finishing his career winning 38 (KO 27) and losing 13 (KO 1). He's best known for his trilogy of fights with the late Arturo Gatti, the final 3 fights of his career back in '02 and '03.

It's out Dec 10th and the official trailer made it's way online this week so here it is:
