Mental evaluation ordered for boxer Jermain Taylor (The Associated Press)

Champion middleweight boxer Jermain Taylor must undergo a mental evaluation, an Arkansas judge said Tuesday. Pulaski County Circuit Judge Leon Johnson granted a request from Taylor’s attorneys that Taylor be moved to a state hospital for a full evaluation, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported (http://bit.ly/1JWSsSP ). Instead, the judge agreed to a request from Taylor’s attorney, Hubert Alexander, to have Taylor immediately enter a hospital for an evaluation. Afterward, Alexander said it would likely include a full mental and health evaluation.
