This was a great fight, and congratulations to the new champ. After the fight with OUMa and spinks, i though Jermain was a Bum, and a hyped olympian, but he was right, he needed a normal fighter. Sure he got his ass kicked, but he showed he could fight, could be exiting, andn nearly Knocked pavlik out, even hard hitting miranda couldn't trouble pavlik.
So i appologies on taylor, and hope he will comeback.
anyone else was wong on him ?
It amazes me how every road leads to Mayweather with you guys. What will you talk about when he gets pulverized by Hatton?
If he loses, which he doesn't believe could happen, then I believe he would own up to it, thank his opponent, and ask for an immediate re-match.
But, that's just how I think he would respond.
He's smart enough to know why he lost, and he would blame himself for the loss.
He mentioned in an interview something to the effect that he's responsible for anything that happens in his career.
Which is only right.:boxing:
to me i thought jt was superb and his jabs were crisp until he get caught in the 7th rd. he was too sharp and classy like any other champ should have. imo the one thing that he should have done when he got caught flush was just to hold and grab pavlik w/c (pavlik himself did in the 2nd) he didn't do or maybe it was just his style i dunno. except 4 the last rd his style was beautiful to me :D
The thing I hate about threads like this is that it takes a loss for people to respect you. Which is why Mayweather will probably never be respected. :)
yeah maybe your right, but it's how he lost. his loss was more deserves more respect than his previous win. i didn't made this thread because he lost, if the decision would go too spinks and jermain has lost i wouldn't make this threat
Great effort by Taylor. I wanted him to lose because since he became a champ he looks like he has grown a huge chip on his shoulder. But, with all fareness he really came to fight. I was cursing at pavlik in the second because I really never saw him taunt anybody, but when he tried that he got tagged by taylor, and knocked down. Pavlik made a tremendous comeback though. Candidate for fight of the year

I will talk about Hatton, in every single post the word Ricky or Hatton will be included.
True, but that's what it takes and it sucks that that cannot be changed. I concur on the Mayweather thing also, I don't see him losing anytime soon.

Good to see people that labled him a bum are giving him credit for a good fight.

I agree he fought good and hurt Pavlik bad which I didn't know if he could. He went out to prove something and unfortunately for him he mixed it up witht the wrong guy. I know the haters will all be out and call him a bum, overrated or whatever, but at least last night he came to fight.
