Pavlik - Taylor Wasn't That Great

easily one of the top 3 fights of the year.

It wasn't fought at a high level, but it was exciting. I had a huge adrenaline rush which mixed with Stella does funny things. If you compare it to, for instance, DLH-Mayweather, it was amateurish, but in many ways more satisfying.

i'm not saying it was rubbish, just not great. And definitely not a FOTY candidate. I enjoyed, but its clearly been overrated. You MAY be thinking of it in the wrong terms. Was it as explosive as a Pacman fight? No. But these are 160 pounders, the punchers are heavier, regardless of if both are at 16, the punches just have more of an affect. Also, it had intensity, explosiveness, a HUGE dramatic turn around. Both displayed nice skill, the winner had his scary moments, and the loser had a sudden defeat. Also, SOMEONE had to lose for the first time, and it was a champion who always had found a way to win. That's exciting in thought alone, it builds itself up and makes the fight fun to watch, regardless. It wasn't one of the greatest fights in middleweight history, but for how big of a fight it was, and how much build up it had, it lived up. And then some.

I don't really think it was FOTY quality, but it was a really good fight and given the importance of it was great.

Your boy lost, pay up mayne, lol Done, I pay my debts.

It might not appeal to everyone but I heard it was a barn burner. What is wrong with you people, what the fuck has Jermain done to you, he is respectful doesn't talk trash and fights the best out there, you have no damn reason to dislike him. Your boy lost, pay up mayne, lol

Pavlik-Taylor had it all. Brawling, drama, back and forth action and a lot of meaning to the fight since two young, top guys fought at the top of their primes. It is definitely a fight of the year candidate. Gladly, it wasn't a one-sided schooling like Naz-Barerra.
