Taylor vs Pavlik

Jermain taylor is one of my favorite fighters but i have to choose pavlic this time. taylor has not been looking good at all latley. what i think is going to happen is kelly pavlic will beat him by split descision. kelly pavlic has not fought noone as good as jermain taylor and taylor has a good chin so i dont think he will be knocked out. i think taylor is going to have his moments when he chooses to box smart but i see pavlic bringing pressure and getting those hard shots in and winning a close split descision. I think the descision will be controversal too. thats just what i think will happen.

Pavlik wins due to ring intelligence & better skill...I see Talylor backtracking taking short crisp combos...Pavlik will display heart in this fight

kelly pavlik will dominate, but then will lose against miranda in the rematch , jermain taylor aint shit

Oh man, cannot wait for this fight. Size wise they are about even. Power wise they are close too, but Pavlik is a better puncher. Skill wise Taylor might have a small advantage. However, Pavlik is hungry and the only way Taylor is gonna beat him is to either knock him out or put on an absolute boxing clinic. I say Pavlik by late round tko.

11 TKO for Pavlik. It's almost a guarantee at this point. Taylor's already started the excuse wagon. By the time Sept. 29 rolls around, Taylor will be claiming to be blind. He knows he's facing the hungriest fighter in his career.

just look at their last fights. after watching pavlik/miranda and taylor/spinks, who do you think would win, seriously? do you think taylor can come off a stinker like that and beat pavlik? people say "taylor needs the other fighter to come to him". whens the last time that happend and he won?

no he can't. thats a common misconception for some reason. He hits hard off the ropes. But while hes going backward the only time he lands a powershot is when he has some room in front him to take a step or to forward. Pavlik won't give him any of that room, and by the mid-rounds he will be forced to trade off the ropes where Pavlik has every imaginable advantage except for speed Good point. Take the Winky fight for example. He threw hard only when he got the room to step forward; when Winky had the gap closed and Taylor on his back foot was when Winky was doing well.. Winky had a good plan to beat Taylor, actually, but Taylor is pretty fucking good himself. I watched this fight twice more in the last week and I'm coming around to the idea that Taylor won it.

Taylor can still punch while backing up. no he can't. thats a common misconception for some reason. He hits hard off the ropes. But while hes going backward the only time he lands a powershot is when he has some room in front him to take a step or to forward.

taylor couldnt even KO ouma when he tried like hell to. taylor's been taken the distance 11 times already in 28 fights. pavliks been taken the distance 3 times in 30 fights. taylor has never had a real impressive KO in his career. people need to remember that pavlik didnt rush miranda, he purposefully made miranda fight backwards. pavlik isnt a blind rusher. Taylor's power for a middleweight is slightly above average, nothing more.

No way is Pavlik going to be able to KO Taylor. Pavlik is talking a lot of shit on how he's going to KO Taylor but that's all bullshit. They are both puncher but I feel that Jermain has a bit more sting in his punches. If Pavlik thinks hes going to win this fight by just flatout rushing Taylor like he did to Miranda then he's sadly mistaken. taylor couldnt even KO ouma when he tried like hell to. taylor's been taken the distance 11 times already in 28 fights. pavliks been taken the distance 3 times in 30 fights. taylor has never had a real impressive KO in his career. people need to remember that pavlik didnt rush miranda, he purposefully made miranda fight backwards. pavlik isnt a blind rusher.

I just can't see Taylor laying on the floor... He never really has been hurt in any fight. Stunned but what fighters hasn't been stunned? Even the mighty chinned Toney has been stunned. Then again Pavlik has this unreal power... Bronco McKart has never been KOed until he met Pavlik. I still stick by my UD for Pavlik.

Taylor can still punch while backing up. not good power shots.

Taylor's was hitting Ouma with his best shots over over and Ouma kept coming forward at him, he didn't react the same way to Karmazin's shots, I'm not say Karmazin hits harder than Taylor they might be comparable but Pavlik definitely hits harder and the way he fought against Miranda is not much a deviation of the way he fought in the rest of his fights. He's going to back Taylor up and press the fight, Taylor can't get power shots off going backward. If Taylor's jab doesn't show up like really never before he's gonna get KO'd.

Pavlik won't fight Taylor like he fought Miranda. It's not like that's his style, it was just the plan needed to beat Miranda. Right now I favor Taylor, but Pavlik certainly has the power to KO this guy. Taylor is a bit too open for me to ever be confident in the prediction.

Well if Hopkins, Wright, and Spinks could ALL hurt Taylor, Then Pavlik could do it. And if Taylor couldn't score any knockdowns at the championship level, and wasn't able to hurt Ouma, Spinks, or Wright... Then what tells you Taylor could hurt Pavlik? Absolutely Nothing! I think he could take a decision though I totally agree with what you're saying but im just trying to say that he cannot fight with Taylor like he did against Miranda.

I think he could take a decision though Styles make fights. How could Ouma take flush bombs from the hard hitting Jantuah and not even blink..........yet turn around and get floored 3 times against Roman Karmazin? there's no way karmazin hits harder than jantuah.
