Who do you people think will win? I want Taylor to win but my head says Pavlik. There's a very big possibility of Pavlik KOing Taylor again if he lands flush. He's a great finisher.
im nottrying to be argumenitive but im sorry i just have to say it, Taylar lost the jab war, PAvlick clearly had the better jab through most of the fight, i do not think i is possible for taylor to beat pavlick, however if u would like to put points on it id be glad to bet with u
Pavlik's jab was better in the fight, but Taylor's jab hasn't been very effective these last 2 years and I think that he will go back to using it in this fight. Sure, I'll put some points up.
You may be right, but I think that since Taylor has switched to a trainer as to who he says is a father figure to him, I think he will be more comfortable in the ring. I just don't think that Taylor and Steward clicked. I definetly think in order for Taylor to win the remach, he is going to have to box and use his jab more.

i think taylor was as prepared as he has ever been, taylor looked better against pavlick than he ever looked before and he still lost, Taylar fought the best fight of his life and he still lost, The BEST jermain taylor, isnt as good as kelly pavlick

I'm going with Taylor in the rematch. I think he will be better prepared this time out and I see him winning by KO.

I think pavlick is gonna knock him out een easier than he did last time, ( not saying last time was easy). I think having this fight at 168 only benifits pavlick, it gives him more mass to put behind his punch, i see pavlick dominating taylar in this fight and getting a devistating knockout
It doesn't matter who wins if they put on a show like last time. This is the PPV where I invite more people over, because it will please the bloodthirsty casual fan.
Hatton-Mayweather was not a success from that angle. Some of my guests told me afterwards they couldn't see anything that corresponded to their techincal understanding of boxing; all that inside defense is not easy to watch.
But Pavlik-Taylor is everyone's fight, two guys jabbing and setting up power shots, both neglecting their defense just enough to be fun.
if taylor fights a smarter and better fight, he can pull it off. i'm with u though. i really want taylor to win, but i'm leaning towards pavlik. it's tough to call, jermain can pull it off.. i hope taylor wins and that makes way for a great trilogy
I could see Taylor winning a decision by using his athletic ability and boxing skills, but he's always kept that left hand low and I don't know if he'll change at this point in his career. So I think Pavlik lands those rights the outcome might be the same in the end.
I think this is gna be a tougher fight then the first one,i think Taylors gna try even harder,and might have success in the early rounds,but he normal fades,thats when Pavlik will weae him down and TKO him late,but u never know,at 166,Taylor might feel more at home and have more energy,but so will Pavlik,it looks like Pavlik needs to move up more then him
One thing that worrys me is if it goes to the scorecards,Jermain always gets lucky on the scorecards,the judges last time out had Jermain up by nearly every round,i thought that was terrible,i had it 3-3 going in round 7,with Taylor up by a point becuase of the KD,then Pavlik KO'd him,how the judges only gave Kelly 2 rounds amazes me
Julie Lederman (Howard's daughter) only gave Kelly ONE round out of the first six, yet she continues to ref big fights.
i think pavlik is going to stop taylor in the late rounds, 10th or 11th round......
but i'm expecting taylor to be a lot more conservative in his approach and be more defensive minded, i think taylor will show pavlik a lot of respect for his power throughout the fight..............
couldnt agree with you more, I think Taylor will be defensive and win a UD/SD or he may be too defensive and pull a Roy Jones when he fought Tarver for the third time and lose the fight, but hopefully im wrong and we get another great fight like the first one.

If this plays out like the Rocky movies then.. Its not exact since Pavlik won the first fight but, Arthur Abraham is gonna kill Jermaine Taylor and Pavlik will beat Abraham to a pulp in Germany.
Well... let me say this... I don't see a decision coming. Both guys have too much pride, the right kind of pride (suprisingly rare in boxing). No one is going to coast for the last four rounds and say I hope i don't get knocked out... These guys are fucking warriors. I know we've all turned a little pessimistic in predicting fights... but this one will surpass the first. Multiple knockdowns. I don't see it going to far past seven or eight rounds.
