Official Jermain Taylor vs. Kelly Pavlik Thread

I have a hunch this fight might get crazy and confound some expectations. I think it's going to be exciting from the start.

Anybody want to bet? I got 5000 on Taylor. I went with Pavlik last time. I'll take the bet.

Pavlik KO9 Taylor.

Pavlik will win the fight but should worry he will get robbed by the HBO judges. In the first fight the judges had Taylor ahead on the score cards yet other than the knock down in the 2nd round he took a good ole fashioned beating. Won't surpise me to see Taylor get beat down again and still win. It's a shame the judging has to be so biased for certain fighters, how many fights does Taylor have to lose before it's reflected in the scorecards!!!

Taylor may catch him early but he will probably freak out and throw wildly like a moron again. Im gonna say Pavlik fights a smarter fight this time and ends in the same result, but maybe this time with Taylor sleeping in a neutral corner.

If Kelly is landing his jab early again he'll win, he'll break Jermaine down and stop him in the later rounds. Taylor cant allow himself to fade down the stretch or he's going to get stopped again, the longer the fight goes the better for Kelly.

I'll stick my neck out and say TAYLOR TKO9 (for the rematch).

Taylor comes out sharp and tryies to keep it in the center. Pavlick loses the first three. By the sixth it's an even fight and Jermaine starts to tire. Pavlick starts connecting with the right and by the 8th or 9th Taylor is put to sleep. Pavlick tko 8 Pretty damn close

At first I said Taylor by decision but I changed my mind, I think Pavlik will stop him in the late rounds.

i think pavlik is going to win by ko in round 8

I like how this thread was made 1st then someone else made a 'final prediction' thread. We don't need this many threads for one issue. This one was made before the other. Taylor will win by stoppage, round 10.

I got Pavlik by KO... MAN THIS IS GONNA BE A GREAT FIGHT.. CANT WAIT :boxing: I got Taylor by decision. People underestimating Jermain but he will rise to the occasion and beat Kelly by a decision no one will argue. Taylor will NOT GET KO'd
