I'm not that high on Paul Taylor's potential, so going with Makdessi.  First got the fight added a couple days ago:

Agree w/ @gregory... Taylor really isn't that impressive as far as potential goes... this is a match up that will show case Makdessi.

Paul Taylor is decent, Makdessi is good. After Makdessi knocks him out hopefully he will start fighting some higher competition. Makdessi's TKD is sick.

@cash Makdessi vs Siver would be amazing. I'm quickly becoming a huge Makdessi fan.

I don't think Makdessi will knock him out...but he should definitely batter him to a dominant decision. I'm not sold on his power yet, technique is amazing, power is still questionable. Watson doesn't have an amazing chin and he lasted to the third round. And Audinwood made it to a decision. Add that to the fact Taylor's has never been (T)KO'd and I see an exciting 3 round fight.

Should be an enteraining fight...even if one is on the rise and one isn't ever gonna be a contender...Taylor's fight with Paul Kelly was awesome
