Tahdooahnippah to Taylor: ?I?m coming for you!? PhilBoxing.com Fri, 18 May 2012 Lawton, OK (May 17, 2012) ? WBC Continental Americas Middleweight champion George ?Comanche Boy? Tahdooahnippah is becoming increasingly impatient for a date with one of the world?s top 160 pound fighters. The hard-hitting Tahdooahnippah, a huge draw in his native Oklahoma, has an outstanding professional record of 30-0-1 with 22 wins by knockout. All but two of his fights took place in the Sooner State, which kept him under the radar. Even though he?s yet to taste defeat and owns impressive knockouts against seasoned pros such as world title challenger Jonathan Corn, Jimmy Holmes and Tyrel Brown, the Lawton resident is yet to receive a career-defining opportunity. ?It?s time for me to face some big name fighters and show the world who I am,? said Tahdooahnippah, a member of the Comanche Nation. ?When I fought Jimmy Holmes for the WBC belt, I had a torn bicep and still stopped him in the opening round. Whoever has been in my way thus far, I?ve got them out of there and I don?t plan on changing that, regardless of who is standing across the ring!? Atop his wish list is former undisputed middleweight champion Jermain ?Bad Intentions? Taylor. Once a fixture on the pound-for-pound list, Taylor, 30-4-1 (18 KO?s), is 2-0 since returning from a two-year layoff. In his most recent bout, the Little Rock, AR native survived a scary ninth round knockdown against Caleb Truax en-route to claiming a unanimous decision victory. Tahdooahnippah, whose opposition is comparable to Truax?, called his fight with Taylor a major eye-opener. ?I?ve been watching Caleb Truax his whole career and we were promoted similarly. The only difference is he got the opportunity that I?ve been looking for. Jermain Taylor also isn?t the same fighter he once was and recent upset wins by fellow Oklahomans Carson Jones and Grady Brewer truly inspired me.? ?Caleb wasn?t able to close the show and I know that I have more power than him. I?m a different fighter than Caleb. I?m hungrier and have a more fan-friendly style. If he can go ten rounds with Jermain and put him on his back and I know that I can get Jermain out of there!? Tahdooahnippah?s manager Bobby Dobbs also feels the fighter he helped build from the ground up is ready to face a top-notch foe. ?George is 30-0 and had a few big fights fall through,? said Dobbs. Fernando Guerrero backed out on us a few years ago and it?s been frustrating to get him a fight. We?ve been ready to take the next step and Jermain Taylor is the guy we want. He?s on the comeback trail and is looking for another opportunity. Comanche Boy has no problem taking him out of the equation!?
