Brian Magee didn't disappoint his home town fans in Northern Ireland in his 1st world title shot vs. WBO SMW champ, Jermain Taylor.
Using an aggressive style, Magee wore down the champ & finally knocked out Taylor with a barrage of punches in the 13th round. In an entertaining fight that Magee appeared to control from the opening bell, Taylor hit the deck 3 times before being dropped for the 4th & final time in the 13th. Magee hit the deck twice over 13 rounds but Magee's pressure wore out & eventually got to the fading soon to be ex champ.
With the win, Magee moves to 13-1 (10 KO's). Magee's only loss was by 10 UD to Jean Claude Dugard in his 1st pro fight.
