Oh god, you guys see what Taylor is doing in training?

You make it seem like Pavlik made that training up. So............ummm...............who are the girls?

http://www.fightnews.com/fightnews_2/headlines//EkppVFkAlFxeLczrAA.html Does he really think that training like Pavlik will make him as strong as Pavlik? This guy has serious issues after leaving Steward. He has no confidence in his own training now and has to take his opponents ideas and publicly show them? Really lame. oh god, what an ass. He should stick to his old plan. 1) Taylor punch face of opponent 2) fire HOT beware 3) Jesus like me so he give me win

I didn't know Pavlik invented hitting the tire and running miles, thanks for that insight elpacman.

What are most of you guys on about? That is a very typical training method in boxing gyms all around the world. Boxers have been doing that for god knows how long? Taylor would have been doing that for years but maybe to increase his explosive power and muscle stamina he is doing more of it or just showing that in the public workout. I actually think Taylor is going to come in better prepared for this fight than any other fight he's had. He's training damn hard and seems to be re-motivated after the loss to Pavlik. I think it's going to be a very hard fight for Pavlik. Saying that though, a lot of people keep saying Taylor is going to box and move and all sorts of things. Taylor fights basically one way which is to come straight in and fight with his speed and combo's. He's actually a very straight forward fighter which is the reason why Pavlik still has such a good chance of beating him. If he can stick that long jab out following it with his right hand he could still beat Taylor well. Despite the ridiculous scorecards for the first fight, Pavlik was winning nearly every round with his jab and straight right over and over again. He just has to do the same thing with a constant hard jab (and keep his hands up this time as well lol) and he will take it again I think.

That's a good workout it works out the legs more than people could imagine. However, does the tire really have to be in the ring? Thats just kind of ridiculous. P.S. he should do something that adds extra resistance on the way back up.

Taylor has no confidence, but since the fight ended he said he wanted an immediate rematch! doesnt make sense:smashfrea some of you people say some funny things

How is it lame, now Taylor feels he igetting the neccessary training he needs in order to beat Pavlik in the rematch.

if he feels it will help his power then he can do it. pavlik didn't invent it

I've seen Zab do that in a lot of his training videos. Shit I think even Rocky has used the sledge in one of the Rocky's.

i wanna see that shit bounce and hit him on the face

Training with sledgehammers and tires is a very well known and common training method. It is the indoor version of the old school chopping wood with an axe. I'm pretty sure Taylor has been doing it for a long time, probably since he was an amateur.

Holy Shit, Taylor is going to win. He is a man posessed.

by the logic in this thread, it could be argued that Pavlik is "copying" MMA training methods since that is the norm with MMA.

Many people have done that long before Pavlik. Nah i dont mean it like that,i think Taylor must work on his stamina and to tighten up his defence,hes got alot of strength,i just dont think the sledge hammer training will make alot of difference for him,Pavliks been doing it nearly his whole career,this is probably the first time Taylor has done this,does he really need to..i dunno

I've seen sledgehammers at boxing gyms. This has been a boxing workout for years.

Seeing as how that was for a media day work out it wouldn't surprise me if that was done for show only. It would be more surprising if Taylor was revealing guarded training secrets or showing off things the public had never seen...but hammering a tire? That one has been around for ages. While it's pretty fair to assume Taylor doesn't have a ton of confidence he isn't a complete retard.

Like Gunstar and Rippuh said, Pavlik doesn't have a copyright on training with sledgehammers and such.

You make it seem like Pavlik made that training up.

Yeh hes copying Pavliks training,dont know if he should be doing that

That's what I thought when I saw that too. He's trying to copy Pavlik's training to make himself stronger, I guess Ozell Nelson is running out of ideas over there.
