At the time, Jermain Taylor was defeated by 'The Ghost' Kelly Pavlik, losing the four major middleweight organization Golden Belts and moving up to the Super Middleweight division in disgrace, becoming the WBA North American Super Middleweight Champion.
Later, when challenging Taylor for the WBA World Champion title, Link was defeated within one round.
Jermain Taylor in 2005 was younger and had better stamina, but his shortcomings remained evident. Against such an opponent, Link was even more confident.
Bob Arum glanced at him, not understanding where this guy's confidence came from. But so far, Link had never failed, so even though he didn't understand, he had no choice but to trust him.
"If everything goes smoothly, your match with Jermain will be held in early May. During this time, you can train here. The facilities and staff arrangements are more complete here, which will be more helpful for you. What do you think?"
Bob Arum asked.
